This is such a sweet encounter. Jacob was in a
foreign land, looking for relatives that he did not know. Again, God directed
his path and Jacob was pleased to meet his uncle and cousin.
He would soon learn that the manipulations of
his mother would pale in comparison to those of his uncle. Jacob was not
without blame. He had been deceptive with his brother, greedy in receiving his
brother’s blessing and because of these actions, there was discord in his
family.
Jacob had yet to learn that relying on God, instead
of manipulating situations, would allow him a much more peaceful existence.
What kind of seeds are we sowing as we walk in
this world?
How about if we all stopped trying to
manipulate situations and simply waited on God?
