God needed to get the attention of Jacob, and He did. It had been a long time since Jacob had heard the word of God in a clear voice. Now, with the world becoming suddenly menacing, the voice and words of God became suddenly clear and meaningful. Many times, that is exactly what we need to get us out of our comfort zones. When things are going good we reason, why do we need to listen for the words of God? Yet, when things start going bad, our first question is, why God? Why is this happening to me?
It is then that we begin to listen to what God has been saying for a long time. In Jacob’s case, it was “Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred.” Suddenly, the words of God had a meaning for Jacob. For twenty years Jacob had been away from the land that God had promised him. During that time Jacob had prospered. Yet, Jacob testified to his wives that his prosperity resulted not from his own cleverness, but from God’s grace. This was quite a change from the arrogant, self-sufficient, man that had rolled the stone from the well and chose his own wife, confident in his own wit and wisdom.
This was an important step for Jacob. Because it is not until we recognize that our success, our blessings, our strength, come not from ourselves, but from the grace of God, that God can truly begin to use us to do His work.
Click on the play button below to hear a message on how true prosperity is spiritual, not material, it does not reside here, but where God is. We have to look higher than this world for true prosperity.
