How God Moves

Genesis 31 Jacob has to move. Success brings many possibilities but
also can stir hard feelings and eventually divide people. For Jacob
the picture could have created hard feelings on his end. Yet, the
Lord is always at work. What if the Lord used Jacob's success to move
him back home, to the land promised? What if that would be better for
him and his family?

I wonder if I could somehow see past the frustrations with another
person and look for the hand of God working in my life? Wouldn't that
fed my heart joy instead of anger? Wouldn't that release in me hope
instead of feeling like someone else messed things up for me?

Seeing God's power, majesty and sovereignty is perhaps the key to
healing most every human hurt. The Lord lives. Blessed be the name
of the Lord.
