Struggling with God - the life of Jacob in the book of Genesis part 7
Genesis 30:25 - 31:3
1. Jacob decided to go to the promised land
2. Laban tempted Jacob to stay
3. God called Jacob to go to the promised land
Hebrews 11:13-16: These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.
