Max Lucado Devotional for 8th September 2023 – Read Inspirational Message for Friday written by Pastor Max Lucado
TOPIC: A Story of Grace

Jacob dozed, and in a dream he saw “A ladder resting on the earth and reaching up into heaven, and…angels of God going up and coming down the ladder. Then Jacob saw the Lord standing above the ladder” (Genesis 28:12-13 NCV). When Jacob awoke, he realized that he was not alone. He was surrounded by august citizens of heaven!
