A LADDER REACHING HEAVEN

PRAYER MOMENT       


Monday 6 July  2015


A LADDER REACHING HEAVEN


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: A ladder was there standing on the ground with its top reaching to heaven; and there were angels of God going up it and coming down. (Genesis 28:10-22)


Reflection. Jacob’s dream of a ladder reaching heaven is referred to by Jesus (John 1:51). It is a confirmation to Jacob of God’s intention already announced to Abraham: He is going to tear the heavens apart and come down and dwell among us. He is going to break down the barrier that cuts us off. Bethel (House of God) is to be the new name for the place Jacob rested that night. The revelation would take time to sink into the mind and heart of the people just as it takes time for each of us to realise how close God is to us and how much he longs to dwell in us. Jacob saw angels going up and coming down the ladder and such is our relationship with Jesus. He comes to us and we are invited to meet him in the events of our day.


Prayer. Lord, teach us to know your coming today. You meet us on the way. Let us recognise you. Amen.
