"Comfort for the Crossroads" (Genesis 46:1-34)

What do you do when you come to a crossroads in your life? A crucial decision that must be made that will have far-reaching consequences. How do you discern God's will in it? In Sunday's passage, Jacob comes to his own crossroads--the edge of the Promised Land--and he is afraid. What comfort does the Lord offer him? What does He offer us? We'll consider this as we continue the story of Joseph: the favorite son, rejected by his brothers, thought to be dead, but is alive to bring salvation to his family.
