Amos 5:4
Where do you turn when life feels uncertain? Jacob’s return to Bethel marks a significant moment of renewal. It was the place where he first encountered God, and by going back, he reconnected with the promises and faith that shaped his journey. God called him to purify his household and dedicate himself fully again. We, too, are called to return to the sacred places in our lives—the moments where we’ve encountered God’s presence and promises. Amos 5:4 reminds us to "seek Me and live." When we prioritize God and realign our hearts, we experience the renewal and purpose He offers. What might it look like for you to return to your “Bethel” today?
