To have a job is a blessing. Jacob went to Laban for meeting his needs and hiding from his brother Esau.
It all came down to getting wages. He was prosperous getting all his needs met by food shelter and those important needs. He would also get a wife who was a special blessing. He had to earn her. v.15-16.
We see in the study that v.31 God opened Leah's womb to give birth. Racheal was barren. in 30:22-23
God gave favor to Rachael and she had a son. That is a barren woman having a baby.
In Gen. 31:10 God gives dream to Jacob and shows he will prosper him. This caused him to have much cattle. 30:43 Jacob in this verse is exceeding rich.
a. we have to rid our minds and hearts of covetousness and get rich quick schemes if we are to be made rich by God.
b. God helped Racheal have a baby and Jacob to have cattle..
c. 1Jn.2:15 love not the world or the things in the world. to love the world means love not the father is the heart. What a terrible thing to hate the father God and then to think will see him one day.
d. God wants to love us and bless us. Jacob inherited the birth right he didn't earn it. We receive Jesus benefits as joint heirs because he loved the father and gave his life for us.
e. I am a testimony of God's faithfulness. he has been wonderful for many years--no I don't own a cadilac , but drove a free oldsmobile. God is great and his love to.
