{"Everything Is Against You"} (249 hits)

JACOB FOCUSES ON THE LOSSES HE HAS EXPERIENCED AND THE LOSSES YET TO COME,

HE DOESN'T KNOW THAT GOD IS ABOUT TO UNVEIL AMAZING NEWS:

THE "DEAD" SON IS ALIVE AND WANTS TO REUNITE THE FAMILY!

JACOB DOESN'T RECOGNIZE THE STRONG WINDS AS "TRADE WINDS" THAT ARE ABOUT TO BLOW MORE JOY THAN HE COULD IMAGINE INTO HIS LIFE.

WE, TOO, CAN EASILY DEVELOP A VICTIM MENTALITY AND READ DISASTER INTO EVERY NEW DEVELOPMENT IN OUR LIVES.

EVEN WHEN TIMES ARE BAD, WHICH THEY CERTAINLY ARE FOR JACOB AS HE WATCHES HIS FAMILY STARVING IN THE FAMINE,

GOD CAN BRING CHANGE AS SUDDENLY AS,

WELL,

AS A STIFF WIND CAN BRING A CHANGE IN THE WEATHER.

{GENESIS 42:36}
