They sold Joseph to traveling merchants and brought back his bloody coat so Jacob believed he was dead. See what happened when they buried these idols: "And they journeyed; and the terror of God was upon the cities that were round about them; and they did not pursue after the sons of Jacob." Esau drove him off. We find the old man passing away in peace, although in exile in Egypt; and he might have died in his own land with his family around him; and his end might have been glorious like that of Joshua in Timnath-serah, if he had only been willing to walk by faith. Abraham had one son, Isaac, who had twin boys, Esau and Jacob.

The trouble was with Jacob, not with God; for God had come for the purpose of blessing him. Jacob’s story reminds believers that God is in the business of transforming our struggles for His purposes and our good. And these Christians who are always walking by sight never lead any toLet us keep this in mind, that although Jacob had all these failings, God was with him and blessed him, and condescended to call himself the God of Jacob, the God of Israel; and this all magnifies grace. Undoubtedly he had been told a good deal about the God of Abraham.

Although Esau was the firstborn, he was man of natural passions without regard for spiritual things.

Rachel lies alone.) and raiment to put on. Jacob’s struggles are our struggles.

We find that his father-in-law came after him; and if God had not appeared to him, I don't know but he would have taken the life of Jacob.

There was the trouble with Esau, the trouble with his father-in-law, and from his natural life up, because he would not take God by faith and trust him.Oh, may God help us to learn a lesson from Jacob; and may we know what it is to put ourselves wholly in God's hands, and let God plan for us.

He was always planning; he could not let God plan for him. He wasLet us draw a contrast between Jacob and Joseph. In the opening of that chapter, "God said unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make there an altar unto God."

The Lord holds you in His hand.What a great lesson and it reveals my ‘own’ struggle and the good news I learn in this lesson from Jacob is that we cannot change ourselves and only God can! LOL! Just straight from the throne God says, "I will give it to thee."

He had heard about him; and now he says: the Lord is in this place. Jacob’s grandfather, Abraham, was promised by God to have many descendants just as the stars in the sky and the sand by the sea.

But since I have got a little better acquainted with my Bible, I find that these characters are given to us as examples to warn us.

And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place and put them for his pillow, and lay down in that place to sleep. His uncle was a good deal more honorable than Jacob.

You lie to your parents and your children will lie to you. The Egyptians would say: "If that is your testimony about your religion, we don't want it; we would rather have the god of the Egyptians, than to have such a God as you have."

While the Lord orchestrates the joy and sorrow of our lives, we must continually trust Him through the difficult days. There is no condition about it; God says I will do this. And behold I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of." It is when we get to the end of the flesh, and are weak and hold on to God, then it is that we have power with him. We are fine as our lives aren’t so crazy as it was a month ago. And he said unto him, What is thy name?

The reaping time will come. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel; for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. He could trust God just about as far as he could see him, and no farther. Unfortunately we can’t go back and change it. Then why on earth their attitude changed towards me — they ignored me?

He could not trust God; he could not believe in his Lord. Yet he was the father of the twelve tribes of Israel. So Jacob started away, without asking his father to forgive him for his lie to him.

The situation was clearly worsening, so Jacob, following God’s prompting (31:3, 11-13), resolved to return to Canaan. I used to think that, because they were saints, everything they did was right; anil I could not understand just how it was that God would permit them to do such things and not be punished. And he blessed him there. He went to that old, blind father and lied to him; and after he goes to Haran, he is paid back in his own coin.
