We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.” -Genesis 34:30 Genesis 34 is one of those chapters in the Bible that is hard to discuss.

18 After Jacob came from Paddan Aram, he arrived safely at the city of Shechem in Canaan and camped within sight of the city. 19 For a hundred pieces of silver, he bought from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, the plot of ground where he pitched his tent. 20 There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel. -Genesis 33:18-20 Once Jacob had returned home, Genesis shares one important insight regarding his priorities.

Last updated on: February 14, 2012 at 10:30 am By Dillon Burroughs

24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak. 25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man. 26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” 27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he...

Genesis 31: God Is with You

Last updated on: February 13, 2012 at 10:17 am By Dillon Burroughs

Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Go back to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you.” -Genesis 31:3 God is always with us. There is never a moment he leaves on vacation or turns his back on us due to our failures. Jacob’s life offers deep insight into this “always present” attribute of God. Jacob had betrayed his brother and his father. After fleeing his home, he found himself betrayed by another... Read more

Genesis 30: Blessed Because of You

Last updated on: February 10, 2012 at 10:33 am By Dillon Burroughs

But Laban said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the LORD has blessed me because of you.” -Genesis 30:27 Jacob followed God. Despite his failings, his faith stood out among those around him. In Genesis 30, we find an odd scene in which Jacob plans to leave the area of Haran and head back to his homeland with his family. Laban asks him to stay. Why? He said,... Read more

Last updated on: February 9, 2012 at 10:38 am By Dillon Burroughs

4 Jacob asked the shepherds, “My brothers, where are you from?” “We’re from Harran,” they replied. 5 He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor’s grandson?” “Yes, we know him,” they answered. 6 Then Jacob asked them, “Is he well?” “Yes, he is,” they said, “and here comes his daughter Rachel with the sheep.” -Genesis 29:4-6 Sometimes life seems random. At other times, we clearly see the hand of God. When Jacob left home for his mother’s hometown, the... Read more

Last updated on: February 8, 2012 at 9:36 am By Dillon Burroughs

10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it stood...

Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.” -Genesis 26:23-24 When the Lord speaks, things happen.
