Before we dig into our story for today in Genesis 29:14-30, it's vital for us to understand WHO is walking into Laban’s house. Jacob is not an innocent traveler, he’s a fugitive. He recently exploited his brother Esau’s hunger to buy a birthright and wore a disguise to steal his blind father’s blessing. He has spent his life manipulating outcomes to ensure he comes out on top. Now, he meets his Uncle Laban—a man who might just be better at the game than Jacob.
