Many times, this is the fruit we glean from trying to control the outcome of our lives on our own. The beauty of this is that in our shame and betrayal and loss, we meet brokenness. Sweet brokenness, the place where our living God can give us a renewed perspective. The place where he takes us above our circumstances and above our troubles and above our pain, to His perspective on what he has for us. Jacob's dream is a reflection where God did just this. This story tells of a man who tried himself to control his own destiny and succeeded only in bringing himself to a place where he was materially bankrupt, spiritually bankrupt, and socially outcast... broken. It is in the brokenness that God puts him in the tree high on the mountain and gives him the vision of an old man looking back on his life. We all need the new perspective that only can come from the Father above. His perspective lends the strength and desire to move forward. The perspective that draws us close to the most high God to see his grace for our lives. An encounter of this type changes our motivation. We move away from the mindset of making Him part of our story, and into the mindset of being part of His story. Listen with us to the story of Jacob and how God used a dream to give him a God sized perspective that would change his life forever.
