Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go.
I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you. (Genesis 28:15)
Considering how badly Jacob had messed up, God’s promise to him was truly amazing.
But it did remind me that God says the same thing of us.
No matter how badly we may mess up, he never abandons us. He continues to be with us and watch over us.
His Spirit works in us daily to make us more like Jesus. And he will not leave us until he has done everything he has promised us, we are complete, and we see him face to face.
As Paul put it,
I am sure of this, that he who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (Philippians 1:6)
I don’t know about you, but that gives me hope.
Let’s walk each day in that hope.
