What’s In A Name

Today’s Scripture “There he built an altar and named it El-Elohe-Israel” (Genesis 33:20).
Here are the 12 sons of Jacob.
Notes Twice in the last couple days we have seen Jacob refer to God as the “God of his father.” Today, (the third time) we see Jacob refer to God as “his God.” Remember Jacob’s vow that he made that God would be his God if He returned him safely home? Here Jacob is at the brink of coming home and for the first time claims the God of his fathers to be his own as well! Self-sufficiency is incompatible with the work of God. Faith alone overcomes the world.
