On the journey from Canaan to Egypt, Jacob displayed his devotion to God by worshipping Him at Beersheba. During the night, God spoke to Jacob in a vision; telling him that He would go with him to Egypt and while in Egypt his family would become a great nation. Knowing this was God’s will enabled Jacob to look forward to meeting his son, Joseph and the task of nation-building in the land of Egypt. [Reflection based on the Bible Reference – Genesis 46:1-7]
