Four wives. Numerous sons. Working for a dishonest man. All because of Jacob’s decision to engage in deceit. You might think this is a pretty hefty consequence, but I contest that sin is heavier. God has a reason for His actions and we see this playing out in Leah and Rachel’s sprint to win Jacob’s favor as Pastor Mark explains today. Will you view your life experiences and situations as workouts in faith-building? Your trust in Jesus will only get stronger. Because we have an all-knowing God that doesn’t leave us. We can expect to experience His goodness if we’ve turned away from our wrongdoing. That’s what God’s promised you and I.
