Why God speaks to us
God speaks to Jacob
Jacob started out his life as a deceiver, he proved himself to be teachable and emerges from his stay in Paddan-aram a better man humbled by his father-in-law’s trick. Jacob labored long and hard for Laban, who has exploited his godly desire to provide for his family.
Though Laban has done all he could to keep Jacob and his services around indefinitely, God thwarted him by prospering his efforts.
Jacob’s hard work benefited his father-in-law but Laban’s family does not celebrate their wealth.
Jacob’s success angers Laban’s sons because it dwarfs their father’s profit. Laban earlier appreciated the great prosperity Jacob brought to him, but he begins to take the grumbling of his sons to heart now that his son-in-law has surpassed him.
This alarms Jacob who has seen a marked shift in how his father-in-law regards him. This situation makes Jacob unable to stay safely with Laban and his family for much longer. Jacob’s flight back to Canaan is not prompted solely by the danger he now faces. The Lord Himself comes to Jacob and calls him to return to the land of his fathers.
God promises to be with Jacob, reiterating His steadfast love for him and confirming him as the heir to Abraham’s covenant. He repeats His promise to remain faithful to His family — the greatest covenant blessing
