The theme for today is Jacob on the Run. Jacob decided to leave Laban’s oppressive household and return to his homeland, prompted by God. Despite Laban’s attempts to cheat Jacob repeatedly, God protected and prospered him. As Jacob fled, Laban pursued him, but God warned Laban against harming Jacob. This chapter highlights God’s justice and provision—God sees all injustice and acts in His time. Jacob’s confrontation with Laban teaches us about dealing with false accusations and trusting God’s protection, even when circumstances seem hostile. Justice may take time, but God always prevails.
