Purpose: God's wonderful promise to Abraham to make great nation from him was passed down to his son and his grandsons. Jacob was reminded of the promise though a dream or a ladder to heaven. God keeps his promises and just when we forget he is there to remind us just how great he is. I love the covenant God made with Abraham because it was not about Abraham at all. God made a covenant with himself and that just amazes me. Just the amount of love God has for us blows me away. God keeps his promises and he is active in our lives.
