Listen from:
GEN 35:3
God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went.
Gen. 35:3
Jacob’s life had been full of difficulty, a lot of which he had brought on himself. But he had experienced a wonderful thing. That was that God answered his call for help when he had been in trouble. And in addition, the Lord had stayed with him as he travelled through life. Jacob knew it and appreciated it. What a lesson for us: that in distress, or persecution, or trouble, or loneliness, or sorrow, Jesus is there waiting for your cry for help, and He too will stay with you as you go through life. When the couple on the road to Emmaus (see Luke 24:13-31) were feeling really downcast, who was it that walked along beside them? Jesus! Trust Him. He’s there.
