Summary: Life often brings us to crossroads where the path forward seems uncertain. We stand at the border between what we know and what lies ahead, torn between the pull of our hearts and the wisdom of waiting. In these moments, we need more than good intentions—we need divine direction. Jacob (Israel) will be given Divine direction in our passage today as he takes the whole family down to Egypt; and along the way the Lord will give us insights on how to seek His Divine direction when we are making our life decisions.
