Taking one of\n the stones of the place, he put it under his head\n and lay down in that place to sleep. (ESV)\n\n There is an old Spiritual which appears in about 100 English\n language hymnals which is based on the story of Jacob's Ladder.\n This week we will look at the theology of that Spiritual in light\n of the story of Jacob, and the meaning of his dream.\n\n As you may remember, Esau and Jacob were the twin sons of\n Isaac, one of the Patriarchs of the Jewish people. Jacob, the\n younger, tricked Esau out of his birthright and inheritance.\n When Isaac was dying, Esau vowed to kill Jacob. Thus Jacob was\n fleeing for his life.\n\n Jacob left Beersheba and went toward Haran. And he\n came to a certain place and stayed there that night,\n because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of\n the place, he put it under his head and lay down in\n that place to sleep.\n\n\n Alone, exhausted, with scant supplies, and aware of the\n threat posed by his brother, Jacob stopped for the evening.\n Lacking any sort of provisions for his own comfort, he lay down\n on the ground with a rock for a pillow.\n\n God, in His grace, love, and mercy, had plans for Jacob.\n While Jacob lay on the hard, cold ground, our Lord gave him a\n vision of the future.\n\n May our Lord give us the faith to trust Him even when we are\n in times of distress. Amen.\n <\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 7, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2390","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2390"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2391,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2390\/revisions\/2391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2390"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2390"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2390"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
