Genesis 48-50

As Israel prepared to bless Joseph's sons (Gen. 48:3-4) he recounted the promises that God had made to him at Luz (that is Bethel). It was during his flight from his brother. The words that he shared were seared into his memory. The most startling point is that the event occurred over 100 years earlier. There were many tragedies that Jacob endured, as well as an abundance of celebrations. But I imagine that dream out shined everything else he could remember. That dream was a defining moment in his life. What are the defining moments that God has given me? Have I allowed them to guide my steps in the way Jacob walked?
