A Shepherd Under Pressure, A Savior in the Shadows
Jacob’s years under Laban were not marked by ease, but by toil, injustice, and endurance. As he served to win both Rachel and the wealth to provide for his family, Laban repeatedly changed his wages, ten times, trying to limit Jacob’s increase and take advantage of his labor. Yet God intervened, and Jacob continued to thrive: “And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.” – Genesis 31:7.
Jacob never retaliated. He served through heat and frost, sleepless nights and labor that earned little in the moment: “Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep departed from mine eyes.” – Genesis 31:40. Still, he grew exceedingly because the Lord was with him. His flocks multiplied, and his household increased: “And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses.” – Genesis 30:43.
This card's verse is Genesis 30:43:
"And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses."
This perseverance under pressure reflects the greater Shepherd, Jesus, who came to labor in a broken world. Though rejected, mistreated, and burdened by sin He did not retaliate. Instead, He gave Himself in tireless service, healing, teaching, saving. Like Jacob, He worked through the heat of wrath and the cold of rejection, all to win His bride, the Church. “The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” – Matthew 20:28.
The True Riches of Heaven’s Provision
Jacob's story is not just about wealth, it’s about inheritance received through faith. He didn't manipulate to win his reward. He trusted the God who promised, and God reversed Laban's plans into Jacob’s breakthrough. “Except the God of my father… had been with me, surely thou hadst sent me away now empty.” – Genesis 31:42. Just as Jacob's flocks flourished under unjust wages, Christ’s reward came through His sacrifice, not worldly acclaim.
Jesus didn’t take a bride by conquest or wealth. He purchased her through the price of His own work. Like Jacob’s seven additional years for Rachel, Christ continues to labor with the Church, sanctifying, strengthening, and building her up until His return. “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.” – Ephesians 5:25.
Believer, your life in Christ reflects this divine story. The world may twist your wages, undervalue your worth, or demand more than it gives. But in Christ, you are seen, preserved, and prospered. He knows your labor. And just as Jacob left Laban’s land rich with blessing, so too will you walk into eternal inheritance, clothed in the fruit of Christ’s finished work. Keep believing that Christ is working all things for your good.
