Plead for Blessing

Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me (Genesis 32:26).”

And there he [God] blessed him (Genesis 32:29).

Restored Relationship

Their relationship, although tainted by deceit, was one of mutual blessing. But things happened and there was no longer favor between them.

To the one, God said, “I have seen all. . . whatever God has said to you, do (Genesis 31:12-16).”

To the other, God said, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad (Genesis 31:24).”

Both men listened to God and their relationship was restored. Read the whole story in Genesis 29-31.
