Brooknom's world

Jacob leaves laban on Gods authority and is afraid of what is ahead.

Idolatry is rampant just as it was in the Old Testament, the problem is we can not see that we have made ourselves the idol. It is no longer the carved wood or fashioned golden or silver representation of earthly things. Not that these ancient forms of idolatry aren't still prevalent. Now we worship "our Achievements, looks, wealth, and status" as though we are the originator of blessings.

Jacob takes his flight back to the land of promise and laban seeks to deceive him yet again.

I do hear people who lean more conservative talk about the principles of personal responsibility. For the christians on both right, left, center, libertarian and whatever other political leaning when will we acknowledge our part individually. When will we accept our part which is the biggest part in the state of our city, town, sate, country, and the world.

Two men Jacob and laban who struggle with the same thing deception, the Difference between the two men isn't anything in themselves but is in fact God.I misspoke in the video Jacob was to take the spotted and speckled cattle.

The womb of Rachel is opened by God after she tries her own way.

Sometimes we confuse being allowed to do something as approval.
