Hebrew keyword: סֻּלָּם (sulam – ladder). The 'sulam' links earth and heaven, ordinary and extraordinary. In Jacob’s dream, this connection assures him (and you) that even from the most humble or uncertain places, you are part of something transcendent.
You may sometimes feel your journey is grounded in the ordinary, yet these are the moments when the extraordinary can reveal itself.
Personal insight: Each thought, action, or prayer can serve as a rung on your own ladder, connecting your daily routine to higher meaning.
Reflection prompt: Where do you sense a 'ladder' in your life—a place or activity that helps you feel more connected to something greater than yourself?
