Vayetze -- Finding God In All The Right Places

Genesis Chapter 28, Verse 16

Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “God is truly present in this place, yet I was not aware of it.” וַיִּיקַ֣ץ יַֽעֲקֹב֘ מִשְּׁנָתוֹ֒ וַיֹּ֗אמֶר אָכֵן֙ יֵ֣שׁ יְהֹוָ֔ה בַּמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה וְאָֽנֹכִ֖י לֹ֥א יָדָֽעְתִּי:

God is in this place, and I almost did not realize it! This verse has always spoken to me for its simplicity and grace. If only we could notice the amazing ways that God appears in the world.

After a dream about the angels climbing Jacob's ladder, Jacob awakens to an epiphany. God is here! Everywhere!
