2 Peter 3:18
God had promised to protect Jacob and bring him back to his homeland (Genesis 28:15). What do Jacob’s actions in this section of scripture indicate about his trust in God’s promise? What lessons do you think the Lord was teaching Jacob while he was stuck with Laban? How do you handle times in life when you feel “stuck”?
Do you think it is possible to learn to trust the Lord in a deeper way without experiencing difficulties in life? How do you think being forced to deal with his scheming and deceitful uncle impacted Jacob’s trust in the Lord? Read Genesis 31:4-9
How can we determine whether the Lord wants us to stay and persevere in a difficult situation or escape from that situation? Jacob wanted to return hom in Genesis 30:25-26 but he wasn’t “released” until Genesis 31:13. What role did his desires, his circumstances, his relationships, and God’s word play in this decision?
