The story of Jacob is one of disorientation and, for much of his life, unfulfilled dreams. The truth is, Jacob’s character was in severe need of some moulding in order for his dreams to converge with God’s purposes. When the pressure of life hits us, our own dreams can seem distant and unattainable. We may be pursuing dreams that are not God’s dream for us. We may not even be ready for God’s dream for us. Jacob’s story teaches us that in the mess of life, God is still at work. This can be tough to believe sometimes; it stretches our faith. This episode explores the story of Jacob and the powerful truths it holds for us, that even when our dreams crumble, if we are willing to trust God, obey God, be changed by God, our dreams can be reborn and fulfilled.
