Back To Bethel Gen 35:1 #RTTBROS #Nightlight Back to Bethel King James Version (Genesis 35:1) "And God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there: and make there an altar unto God, that appeared unto thee when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother." In the journey of life, there are moments when we encounter God in profound ways. These are the Bethel moments– the times when heaven touches earth, and our hearts are forever changed. But as time passes, we often drift away from those sacred places and lose sight of the impact they had on our lives. When Jacob received this divine instruction to return to Bethel, it wasn't just about revisiting a physical location. It was a call to reconnect with the God who had met him there. Bethel was the place where Jacob had seen the ladder reaching to heaven, where angels ascended and descended. It was a place of encounter, revelation, and transformation. Similarly, in our lives, there are Bethel moments – times when God revealed Himself, spoke to our hearts, and changed our course. Maybe it was during a worship service, a quiet prayer, or a moment of crisis. These are the places where we felt His presence, heard His voice, and knew we were not alone. But life has a way of pulling us away. We get busy, distracted, and sometimes wounded. We forget the promises made at Bethel. We lose sight of the altar we built there. And in the process, we disconnect from the God who met us. Yet, just as God instructed Jacob to return to Bethel, He invites us to do the same. It's not about physical travel; it's about a heart journey. We need to go back to those sacred moments, those altars of encounter, and rekindle our relationship with God. And it's not just about us. Bethel was also a place of reconciliation for Jacob. It was where he made peace with Esau, the brother he had deceived. Going back to Bethel meant facing the past, forgiving, and rebuilding broken relationships. Likewise, as we return to our spiritual Bethels, we may find people waiting – those who impacted our lives, those we need to forgive, and those we need to embrace. It's a place of healing, restoration, and renewed connections. So, let's heed the call: "Arise, go up to Bethel." Let's revisit those moments of encounter, build new altars, and reconnect with God. And as we do, may we also find reconciliation with others – for Bethel is not just a place; it's a sacred space where heaven meets earth and hearts are forever changed. Prayer: Dear Lord, help us return to our spiritual Bethels. Remind us of the moments when You touched our lives. Rekindle our passion, renew our faith, and restore broken relationships. In Jesus' name, amen. https://linktr.ee/rttbros Be sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out. https://linktr.ee/rttbros
