Learning about God's Faithfulness, Genesis 29:1-31:55

Studying Genesis 29:1-31:55 this week, we can see Jacob learning about God’s faithfulness. In His sovereignty, God allows pain and trouble in our lives so He can make His faithfulness known to us.

Uncle Laban’s gods were nothing more than impersonal idols. On the other hand, Jacob worshipped a very personal God who inspired dread (the Fear of Isaac). God had revealed Himself personally to Jacob at Bethel. Paul understood God as personal (see Phil 4:19). In what ways does God get personal with us?

Ask members to think about a time when the Lord has revealed Himself to them personally. What were their circumstances?
