January 22, Day 22

Today's Reading

Genesis. Having again read about the final sparring between Jacob and his father-in-law Laban, I am reflecting.  Laban was blinded by his desire to rule everyone within his reach.  Jacob was a better businessman.  Both were shrewd.  God obviously had a plan for Jacob back in the land of his father.

What do you think about the sparring that went on between the two sisters?  I'm not sure they grew up in a healthy family environment and had probably fought their whole lives for everything they got.

  1. I think the sisters' behavior is probably pretty normal, and though the rest of it is probably normal even though it takes some effort to relate to since we just don't live like that, it's hard not to judge them.
