Raised From Reproach

Guys, past 24hrs, I didn't post any article due to my busy schedule.. But you can be blessed with this post. Let's Go! Text: Psalm 34:5 'They looked to Him and were radiant and their faces were not ashamed.' Having left his father's house for fear of his brother's wrath, Jacob went to his uncle, Laban and worked for twenty years. Within those years, he was given the wrong person as wife (Leah instead of Rachael), called a thief and cheated of his wages ten times. Even though he worked wholeheartedly and tirelessly for Laban in the sun and in the cold, day and night, Laban didn't deem it fit to settle Jacob of his wages. Earlier on his way to to Padan Aram, he met with God at Bethel. God promised to be with him and bless him but with what Laban was doing to him, it seemed like there was no way out for him. Even when Laban agreed to give him speckled flock as his wage, he went ahead and took all the speckled flock, gave them to his sons and sent them far away from Jacob(Gen 30:36). Because Jacob relied on the wisdom and direction of God, God blessed him as he said. Jacob would have returned to his father's house without anything to show for the labour of many years. If this story has any resemblance with yours, you can look unto God. Like He did for Jacob, he will ensure that you come out of that shame and reproach that the enemy is bringing your way and clothe you with glory and honour. Only trust in Him, keep your gaze on Him and guard your heart from sin.
