The angel of God spake unto me

Genesis 31: 11-13: “And the angel of God spake unto me in a dream, saying, Jacob: And I said, Here am I. And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the rams which leap upon the cattle are ringstraked, speckled, and grisled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee. I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred.”
At last the Lord intervened and gave Jacob final confirmation that he had to leave. He knew that it was time to go and he had been making plans while he played tricks to get as much as he could. All these things were fine but when the Lord speaks then it is time to move even though we may not think that we are ready just yet. The Lord promised Jacob that he would be well payed for all the years that he worked for his father in law and was cheated many times. Everything depended on the fact that the Lord had already appeared to Jacob before he left the land that He had called and promised Jacob’s grandfather Abraham. We can rely on the same Lord, Who called Jacob to return because we have the Lord’s promise to fall back onto. This is not a promise of wealth or fame. It is a promise of everlasting life, (John 3: 16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”) abundant life (John 10: 10 “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”) and the peace of God (Phil 4: 7 “And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”) We can all return to the Lord’s promises whenever we want to know and rejoice in the fact that He does not change (see Heb 13: 8 “Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”).
but we can be sure that God is always on our side and He is always faithful.
