"Then
Jacob arose and put his children and his wives upon camels; and he drove away
all his livestock and all his property which he had gathered, his acquired
lifestock which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to
his father Isaac.
"When
Laban had gone to shear his flock, then Rachel stole the household idols that
were her father's. And Jacob deceived
Laban the Aramean, by not telling him that he was fleeing. So he fled with all that he had; and he arose
and crossed the Euphrates River, and set his face toward the hill country of Gilead."
Genesis 31:17-21
When
we are convinced that we are entitled to something that is not ours, temptation
lurks. How sad that this was Jacob's favourite too.
Take
care with love, especially His! Your
servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
