Sin Foundations - Suspicion & Politics


"Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, 'Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what belonged to our father he has made all this wealth.  And Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly. 

"Then the Lord said to Jacob, 'Return to the land of your fathers and to your relatives, and I will be with you." Genesis 31:1-3

God's plans are never thwarted by man's scheming.  Can you imagine this household, where everyone listened out to hear what others were saying.  This is politics in action.

Take care with love, especially His!  Your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
