GOD FIGHTS FOR HIS BELOVED

In Genesis 30 we see Jacob worked so hard for Laban his uncle for twenty good years and God prospered him. But his journey wasn’t easy. He served with all his strength yet His wages were changed ten times this bothered him so much. That he had to make an agreement with Laban for his wage to be the speckled sheep and the ones which were not speckled would be Laban’s. Laban agreed to the plan but  that same day he secretly removed all male goats that were speckled and spotted and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted and put them under the care of his sons and sends them away to another place. He thought that by doing this Jacob wouldn’t succeed. But God had a plan.

At night God revealed his plan to Jacob in a dream. He saw that the rams which mated where streaked, speckled and spotted. Later Jacob took branches of fresh poplar, almond and plane trees, peeled white stripes exposing the white in the branches and set the branches which he had peeled in front of the flocks in watering troughs. So when the flock came to quench their thirst they mated and conceived by the branches and gave birth to speckled, streaked and spotted offspring. This is could only be God’s strategy!

We see God vindicating his own servant Jacob. God’s intervention in his predicament makes Jacob’s flock increase numerously than Laban’s. It took Jacob’s faith to rise out of his predicament. He completely trusted God and didn’t let how Laban treated him make him doubt God’s promise. Because of God’s divine intervention, Laban realizes that the Lord had blessed him because of Jacob.

You may be going through a difficult situation, maybe it’s at your place of work or home. God says, that he knows and fully approves the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked shall perish. Just as he fought for Jacob until he went back to his place very wealth more than his uncle Laban, this God will also fight for you and vindicate you. Don’t doubt his word, keep believing. He will change your story.
