GOD IS WITH US

The Lord is True To His Word

The Lord richly blessed Jacob in spite of Laban’s scheming.

See Genesis 28:13-15...

Hebrews 13:5–6 “Keep your life free from love of money, and be content with what you have, for he has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” So we can confidently say, “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?””

1 Samuel 12:22 “For the Lord will not forsake his people, for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you a people for himself.”

LOOK AT Genesis 30:43...

The Lord’s Intervention

The Lord directs Jacob to return to the land of promise.

Psalm 118:6 “The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

Psalm 56:8–11 “You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book? Then my enemies will turn back in the day when I call. This I know, that God is for me. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

The Lord protected Jacob from Laban.

LOOK AT Genesis 31:42...

Micah 7:7–8 “But as for me, I will look to the Lord; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me. Rejoice not over me, O my enemy; when I fall, I shall rise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord will be a light to me.”

Proverbs 16:7 “When a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.”

What Shall We Say to These Things?

Since God ALWAYS keeps His word, we can confidently trust in Him in ALL circumstances.

See Romans 8:31-39...

Psalm 37:5 “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.”

Psalm 55:22 “Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.”
