The Blessing of Jacob

We will continue with the story of Jacob. Jacob is blessed by the Lord but needs to learn that these blessings are undeserved and freely given. They do not come by his cleverness and schemes but by God’s good pleasure. God is also sanctifying him through trials. We also need to rest in God’s sovereign good pleasure and walk humbly with him knowing that he is working out all things together for our good and his glory in spite of our sin and weakness.
The text is Genesis 30.
