Meditate on verse 7b.
God did not allow him to hurt me.
Jacob worked a total of 20 years for his uncle, Laban. For his service, Jacob received two wives and flocks and herds of animals. God prospered and protected Jacob during this time despite the fact Laban often tricked and deceived him. After 20 years of living with Laban, the LORD told Jacob it was time to return home (Genesis 31:3).
Jacob relayed the message from God to return to Canaan to his wives, Leah and Rachel. They submissively responded to their upcoming move to another country by saying, “Do whatever God has said to you” (Genesis 31:16).
Husbands, do you seek God’s favor and blessings for your family? Is the LORD your God?
Wives, how do you respond when your husband tells you God has given him direction for your family? Do you rebel against the direction God is leading or do you reply, “Let’s do whatever God has told you”?
Pray Genesis 31:7 and 16 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, do not allow the enemy to harm _________ and me.
As You tell us what to do, help us to do whatever You say, God.
For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
