—Genesis 30:22-32, 43
by: Cheri Appel.
In verse 43, nothing but good things were happening to Jacob. He trusted God to increase his flocks while employing current farming methods. God blessed Jacob for being faithful and obedient. The promises God made to him were being fulfilled. Through many years and lessons, Jacob had become a generous, fair, and candid man. As Jacob spoke of how little Laban had when he arrived, this grateful servant attributed all the increase to God. Seeking God’s direction and staying within His will means we will be blessed and also bless those around us. Have you experienced this in your life? Who will you bless today?
