The story of Jacob shows that a life driven by self-serving motives can lead to prolonged struggles, broken relationships, and unfulfilled desires. Jacob's journey taught him the hard way that his manipulative tactics and self-centered behavior did not bring lasting satisfaction or true fulfillment.

Similarly, many people find themselves caught up in the cycle of self-preservation and self-advancement, constantly striving to secure their own interests at the expense of others. This mindset can lead to a sense of isolation, mistrust, and emptiness, as individuals prioritize personal gain over meaningful connections and genuine compassion.

While it may seem natural to focus on our own goals, needs, and desires, an excessive preoccupation with self can ultimately hinder our growth. Constantly putting up defenses, plotting ahead, and engaging in manipulative behaviors can create barriers between ourselves and others, preventing us from experiencing authentic relationships and genuine satisfaction.

That was Jacob. Always looking out for himself. Always the master of his fate. Always alone against the world.

But God didn’t design us for that.
