If You Can’t Beat ‘em…

Laban was convinced that God was blessing him through Jacob (Gen 30:27). Rather than simply enjoy the collateral blessings, Laban attempted to manipulate the situation by changing Jacob’s wages (Gen 31:41-42). But God was determined to bless Jacob and would not be manipulated. Resources are not a problem for God. He owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psa 50:10). There is enough to go around. It is only when we get greedy in an attempt to pad our accounts at the expense of others that we cause problems. Why not simply seek His kingdom, enjoy His blessings and be a blessing to those around you?
