41Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches. 42But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.
43Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.
Jacob was only breeding the strong animals assuring a strong healthy herd.
God witnessed what Laban was doing to Jacob and He blessed Jacob because of His Promise to Abraham not because Jacob was a good man.
“Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous.” To a degree that is beyond usual to a point that anyone who witnessed his prosperity knew it was from God.
Recently my brother in-law mentioned he noticed a change in my lifestyle and he knew it was from God. He was a witness to my spiritual prosperity after being born again and the adoption of our son.
Have you become exceedingly prosperous, spiritually?
If Jesus is in you, what better testimony is there than your own conversion from a sinful life?
Blessings David
