Genesis 29:25 (NIV)
25 When morning came, there was Leah! So Jacob said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? I served you for Rachel, didn’t I? Why have you deceived me?”
Funny how things work out huh? Jacob was extremely blessed by the Lord. He was under a covenant with Abraham and his father Isaac, but it couldn’t help keep his own sin to come and roost in his own lap. He was a trickster and now he was being tricked. Jesus teaches this principle in the Sermon on the Mount and other places and it is still true today! There is plenty of reason to live a holy and clean hearted life and this is one of them. If we think that the enemy won’t be empowered by our own choice to do evil, we are incorrect! Why do you think that God’s Word over and over again calls us to live “rightly”? Because God knows what happens when we don’t and he hates to see that happen to the people He loves.
