“Lift up your eyes and see ... I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me” (31:12). Because of God’s intervention, Jacob’s children and flocks increased, despite his internal family conflicts and Laban’s devious attempts at sabotage. Although Laban insisted “all that you see is mine” (31:43), God alone possessed the power of life and abundance. Jacob recognized that his future depended entirely on God’s miraculous help (31:42). 

“Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your kindred” (31:13). Jacob, part of a messy, imperfect family, chose to put his life in God’s hands and believe God’s promises. Through him, “all the families of the world” are blessed (28:14).
