When We Try To Take The Reins

Today, we’re diving into a powerful story from Genesis chapters 30 and 31. Have you ever felt like God’s plan was moving too slowly, so you decided to speed things up yourself? Maybe you pushed for a promotion, forced a relationship, or made a quick decision without praying it through. In this devotional, we’ll see through Jacob’s life what happens when we take things into our own hands: we suffer consequences, miss out on the fullness of the life God intended, but amazingly, His blessings still flow – just not in the way He originally planned. Let’s unpack this and see how it applies to us today.
