THE LIFE LOST
Gen 29:1-20
It’s rank folly ever to get out of God’s plan for one’s life. One’s soul may be saved, but his life is lost, and his future next-world seriously affected. When a man insists on his own plan regardless of God’s, the lines tangle, the thorns grow thick, the moral sense dulls. He may pray, but as he insists on his own way, there will be weary toiling and a bitter tang. Jacob knew this with a bitter, biting certainty.
