God's Promise is Personal
Commentators highlight that God's promise to Jacob was intensely personal, given when he was alone, afraid, and facing an unknown future. God assures him of His constant presence ("I am with thee"), comprehensive protection from all dangers ("will keep thee"), and guaranteed restoration ("will bring thee again"). This shows that God's care is not abstract but tailored to our specific fears and needs.
