Here in This Placeפֹּה (Poh) – Genesis 28:10-17

WHEN HE UP…

Verse 16: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”

I was not that he was all along.

Poh reminds us that God meets us in real, places.

EXTRA STUDY-

2 Peter 1 – New International Version
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours: 2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.Confirming One’s Calling and Election
3 His divine power has given us everything we need for a godly life through our knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and goodness. 4 Through these he has given us his very great and precious promises, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

5 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6 and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7 and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. 8 For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But whoever does not have them is nearsighted and blind, forgetting that they have been cleansed from their past sins.

10 Therefore, my brothers and sisters,[a] make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, 11 and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Prophecy of Scripture
12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.

16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”[b] 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Hebrews 6:13-20 – The Message
13-18 When God made his promise to Abraham, he backed it all the way, putting his own reputation on the line. He said, “I promise that I’ll bless you with everything I have—bless and bless and bless!” Abraham stuck it out and got everything that had been promised to him. When people make promises, they guarantee them by appeal to some authority above them so that if there is any question that they’ll make good on the promise, the authority will back them up. When God wanted to guarantee his promises, he gave his word, a rock-solid guarantee—God can’t break his word. And because his word cannot change, the promise is likewise unchangeable.

God loves to meet His people in places to His will and purpose over their lives.

GOD’S  (MANIFEST) PRESENCE

Exodus 33:14-16 Moses and God’s Manifest Presence

God’s presence wasn’t just an abstract idea; it was something real, something .

Verse 14: “My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.”

Verse 16: “How will anyone know that You are pleased with me and with Your people unless You go with us? What else will distinguish me and Your people from all the other people on the face of the earth?”

God’s TANGIBLE(manifest) presence — the visible, active demonstration of God’s power and glory in a place or moment.

The tangible(manifest) presence of God ordinary places into holy ground

God loves people and

God’s tangible (manifest) presence us that He doesn’t just dwell in heaven or in some far-off place. He is here — right now, wherever we are. He to make His glory and presence known in our everyday lives.

Isaiah 58:9-12 (NLT)

9 Then when you call, the Lord will answer.    ‘
Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply.
“Remove the heavy yoke of oppression.   
Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!
10 Feed the hungry,   
and help those in trouble.Then your light will shine out from the darkness,   
and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually,   
giving you water when you are dry   
and restoring your strength.You will be like a well-watered garden,   
like an ever-flowing spring.
12 Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities.   
Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls   
and a restorer of homes.
