“And Laban said unto him, I pray thee; if I have found favour in thine eyes, tarry; for I have learned by experience that the Lord hath blessed me for thy sake.” - Genesis 30v27
Years had passed. Jacob felt like it was time to move on so he respectfully went to Laban to ask permission. During this time Jacob had not been the best testimony to Laban, his family, or anyone else around. Yet, there was still a difference in his life that people noticed. I am grateful that all through the Word of God we see that God uses flawed people to do His work. If not, none of us could ever hope to serve Him.
One thing was certain here. Laban felt that God had blessed him and his family because of Jacob's being there with him. In spite of all his flaws and weaknesses he revealed the reality if the Lrod to those around him.
We must ask ourselves, “Have people learned my experience that they are blessed though us?” As Christians we are the light of the world and that salt of the earth. A would which lives in darkness must see the Light shining in our lives. Our salt must season those with whom we keep company. May your friends always say that God has blessed them because of us.
