Genesis 28:10-22

"Jacob made this vow: “If God will indeed be with me and protect me on this journey, and if he will provide me with food and clothing, and if I return safely to my father’s home, then the LORD will certainly be my God." v20-21

Jacob has just had an encounter with God through a dream. When he wakes up he realizes that God is in this place. God's covenant promise to Abraham and Isaac was now offered to Jacob. God had promised to bless him and make his descendants great! In response to God Jacob makes a memorial and a vow. He committed his future to God.

When God speaks to me, am I more likely to commit or question? I hope to say that I am more likely to commit.
