S – ¹⁵ 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.” 

¹⁶ When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” 

Genesis 28:15–16 CSB

O – Commentary:

The promise of God’s presence meant that God would protect and provide for Jacob in a special way. God’s promise to be with his people is repeated throughout Scripture (see also 26:24), prompting a response of worship and confidence in those who have faith

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – God gives Jacob the promise of his presence.  Jacob wakes up and worships God and declares that God is in this place.  Did he miss the fact that God said I am going to be with you wherever you go…not just here.  Either way, when we recognize that God is with us, it should cause us to take a step toward him in reverence and honor.  And it should empower us to walk with confidence into our day.

R – Heavenly Father, you are worthy of our praise and honor today.  Knowing that you are with us, empower us with your confidence as we face today.  We worship and surrender to you first.  Thank you for your presence wherever we go.
