We read in the Book of Genesis in chapter 35 that Jacob was told by God to return to Bethel, where God had appeared to him previously, and to build an altar there to God.

God said to Jacob “Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau” (Genesis 35:1). So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him “Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes” (Genesis 35:2). “Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone” (Genesis 35:3). So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem (Genesis 35:4). Then they set out, and the terror of God fell upon the towns all around them so that no-one pursued them (Genesis 35:5). Jacob and all the people with him came to Luz (that is, Bethel) in the land of Canaan (Genesis 35:6). There he built an altar, and he called the place El Bethel because it was there that God revealed Himself to him when he was fleeing from his brother (Genesis 35:7). After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him (Genesis 35:9). God said to him “Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob, your name will be Israel” so God named him Israel (Genesis 35:10). And God said to him “I am God Almighty, be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body” (Genesis 35:11). The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you” (Genesis 35:12).

Thought for today: let God’s word fill your mind, rule your heart, and lead your way.

Thought for the future: trust in God today, and secure your tomorrow. Where will you spend your eternity?
