Lord, help me to remember that nothing is going to happen today that you and I together cannot handle.

Day 31 - Genesis : Chapter 31

Heavily constrained by time. Need to leave here by 8.45. Lord, may everything go well today.

Genesis 31 : Jacob flees from Laban

Jacob hears Laban's son saying that Jacob cheated Laban off all his property and became rich. He also feels that the hatred between him and Laban is growing. So he decides to flee when Laban is not at home. He takes his wives, children and flock and goes away.

Laban pursues him for 7 days, finds him and asks him why he did that. Jacob says he worked for 20 years to earn what he has and never cheated anyone. Laban searches the whole of Jacob's camp to find if he had stolen something but doesn't find.

Both of them make a vow to not harm each other and part their ways.
