Gen. 30:31 proving God.

What a faith here.  Jacob is going to trust God and believe him to supply.  He turns down any pay. He will actually get things that don't even exist yet.  WHAT A RIGHTEOUS MAN TO GIVE FAVOR TO HIS TRICKY UNCLE LABAN.  He had a wife who had a miracle baby.  God gave her that baby. Also another one. God kept covenant with him like Abraham.  He was truly blessed.

Gen. 29 A prosperity question.

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.

Gen. 28:20-21 if God will.

remove the if and you have God's will.  This that he reafirms is the promises already made to Abraham.
When one feels guilty he doesn't feel deserving of God's blessings.  Many mistakes are over looked by God's mercy. 
It has a sense of humor about it.  He is going to take Esau's blessing and run off not knowing if he deserves it .  He tricked Esau.  Well if God is with you  then you will know if your blessed. Make sure your heart is right with him.  I personally believe a God who is displeased will not be able to do much for us. He can send grace to bring about our repentance though.
This seems  to be the way that people see God.  One who supplies for us and we are dependant on him.
That is a good thing. We will be very blessed when we commune with him and worship in a deep way. Falling in love with him is far better than anything else. The benefits just seem to come to us as we do.

Gen. 27: fat will dew

God would give abundance of prosperity to him.  When hands were laid on him he did not receive  the literal things into his body. I know that sounds funny. cattle was not inside him.  money wasn't all of the sudden found inside him.  The Old Testament saints laid hands on the innocent victim and they were transferring the sins onto the scapegoat.  He was taken out of the city and then that was a symbol that the sins were carried away. 
Therefore we see that sins didn't literally go into Jesus but were carried away as he was a substitute who took the punishment for the sins. 
Jacob would receive his blessings one day at a time throughout his life. They came to him--- not out of him.  see--- symbolism is sometimes misinterpreted as literal.   When we drink the cup and eat the bread it is a symbol, not literal as the Catholic priests  proclaim.  They say the blood when swallowed becomes real blood.  Someone said to me ,how can my sins go back and be on him when I sinned in this century.
God wants us to be fat with blessings and have the dew of heaven.  He didn't mean have to sleep outside and be covered with dew in the morning.  Rain and dew are symbols of prosperity and abundant grace.

Gen. 26:12 still 100-fold

He received in the same year a 100-fold.  In Mk 10:30  we have a promise of 100-fold __in this life--.  Issaac received in his life.  Not have to wait to get to heaven.  The reason is that we need a house or land now in order to survive.  It couldn't be the credit or borrowing because they didn't have credit cards in Issaacs days.  He received within a year, not after 30 years of payments.  It is hard for people to wait for God to bring the 100-fold to them. 
Mk. 10:29 has the answer.  Jesus must have first place and we must give up all to proclaim the gospel. We have to find God's will for our life. If we love this world more than him we will have the world and not him.
He drives the point home that he will provide abundantly.

Gen. 25:8 good old age.

A godly person will live to be of a good old age.  The question arises well how come good people die young.  By passing the answer that God takes some home early,  we have the understanding that if you are a Christian and do make it out of here you are blessed knowing you will spend eternity with God.  That is all we need to know.  If we walk in God's will we will be blessed--from God.  Everything belongs to God.  Our very breath comes from him.  It is a shame that the point is forgotten that if you have to wait while living here, you should make the best preperation for going there.  Rewards will be according to faithfulness to the Lord.  A wasted life is only due to selfishness.  My wife and grand daughter brought cookies and love to people in the nursing home.  The people they gave cookies to may be their enemies.  The bible says bless your enemies and do good to persecutors.  Matt. 5-7.  So we can do good if we apply ourselves.  Elderly people sit in chairs bored and doing nothing because they give up. They do that partially because they feel no need to good anymore.  Others I have seen in very old age doing good still and they are happy.  Abraham did good in his old age even till his end.  It says he was blessed.

Gen. 24:35 glory to the giver.

The Lord------has blessed my master greatly.  Now he is preparing to give his son a wife.  His son will be blessed to.  Abraham is out to secure for his son a way to continue the people of faith.  A bride for him.
How much more is our father out seeking to prepare for us his will.  My mother in law comments every time I cough.  When she says Lord have mercy I say amen.  Then I confess some faith promises for that to go away.
Providence of God comes in unusual strange ways but it is wonderful how God meets our needs.  He makes us great in wealth according as we have need.  Greedy preachers preach more about giving than anything else.  One preacher says every time he comes on TV that he is believing for 3 million dollars.  He is asking the people because he doesnt have confidence God will hear and answer prayer.  For me it is possible to say a humor thing once in a while, but the gospel is a serious thing  (not morbid)  it produces life when good bible teaching with God's Spirit touching hearts. Not a comedy club.  Foolish jesting just makes it difficult to get God to move on behalf of his people.
The important part of God giving to us is he gets all the glory for what he alone has done.  He may or may not use people but he does do it for us.
