Genesis 30:25 - 31:42⎪When You Feel Used

Damian Grateley (2020-5-3)

Points:

1. jacob’s and laban’s scheming

2. naive optimism and self-help strategies

3. acknowledging the fear of the lord

Instead of viewing our lack, our weakness, or our failure as a God-given opportunity to throw ourselves more deeply on the grace of God—most of us try even harder to make it on our own.

Optimism rooted in the goodness of people collapses when it comes face to face with the dark side of life.
