Jacob works for 7 years to get Rachel to wife but is deceived. He gets Leah. He works another 7 years and finally gets Rachel.
But never underestimate 2 competitive jealous sisters and the ends they will go to to out do the other. Eventually Jacob is traded off between them, with no sign of shame or chagrin.
Yet, Jacob was faithful and honest in his work dealings and in his service to God and he is blessed for it.
Never forget he was the heir of the Abrahamic Covenant yet he had to agree to serve the Lord God, he had to be faithful, he could not rest on Abraham's name.
All of us must make our own decision to serve Christ, to call on His name. No one else can do it for you, no one else's work can be added to your account. You must know Him and have a personal relationship with Him.
