In Genesis 28, we find Jacob, the son of Isaac on the run from his brother, Esau. Finding a rock to rest his head in a place called Luz, an ancient Israelite crossroad, he has a dream of a heavenly ladder and the Lord at the top. The Lord confirms the Abrahamic covenant with Jacob. When he wakes up, he anoints the rock he used as a pillow and it became a pillar. Luz gets renamed to Bethel, the House of God. You may have to lay down in a Luz place and endure hardness in your rest. But by morning, God can take that hard pillow and make it a new point of reference for life, moving foward. Jacob said "Surely the Lord is in this place, and I knew it not." He is in the crossroads place, the hard place, the place of uncertainty in your life.
