Day 19 - Read Genesis 31

Jacob was not favored by Laban as he was before. They became jealous of Jacob’s success. God chose to take away from Laban while he blessed Jacob. Jacob gathered his wives, his sons, and the cattle he owned and began his journey back to Canaan, to his father Isaac. Rachel secretly stole her father’s gods. When Laban found that Jacob had left, he pursued him for seven days. God warned Laban in a dream not to say anything to Jacob, good or bad. When he caught up to Jacob, he asked Jacob why he fled. He asked Jacob why he stole his gods. Jacob was not aware that Rachel stole the gods. Laban searched but did not find the gods. Jacob and Laban made a covenant not to harm each other. Laban blessed his family and returned home.
