—Genesis 33:16-2
by: Stephanie Sholtz.
Jacob’s path takes many turns. He unexpectedly runs from his home. When he finds his mother’s family his intention is to stay for 7 years, but he ends up staying for 21. Even on his return home he agrees to follow Esau to Seir, but ends up settling in Succoth instead. He may not have expected any of these twists in his path and many times may have wondered if God would truly bring him safely home to Canaan. But God is faithful to Jacob through everything and does just as he promised Jacob he would do.
