There is a distinct moment in every difficult season when the clock strikes midnight and you realize: It is time to go. For Jacob, this realization came after fourteen years of hard labor and the birth of his son, Joseph. Until this point, Jacob had been surviving. He was a refugee fleeing his brother’s wrath, living under the roof of his manipulative uncle, Laban. He was reacting to life rather than leading it. But the birth of Joseph—a name that implies "adding" or "increase"—shifted Jacob’s perspective. He looked at his growing family and realized that being a servant in someone else’s house was no longer sufficient. He needed to build his own "place and country." Join us in our study of Genesis 30:24-43.
