From Pastor Bo
I never cease to be amazed at how practical and how relevant to everyday life the Bible is. One of the challenges we face in life is in knowing when to "hang in there," and when to "hang it up."
In Genesis chapter 31 we see just such a scenario. Jacob had been away from home for more than 14 years. During this time Jacob worked for his father-in-law, Laban. Laban was not an easy guy for whom to work and it seemed that as long as Jacob was connected to Laban he would always be on the negative side of this working relationship.
So, the question was: Should he stay or should he go?
While every situation is unique, Genesis 31 provides us with principles that serve to guide us in such circumstances -- while also providing us with an understanding of how God uses the events of life to shape us into the person He wants us to be.
