Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"To see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favorably.” What a powerful sentiment! To Jacob, a restored relationship felt like being in God’s presence. Christ-followers are called to be the face of God to others. Our relationships are to be so loving and grace-fueled that when people are around us they feel like they are experiencing God’s presence. The state of your relationships reveals the state of your heart. And the state of your heart will reveal itself on your face. Ellen White once wrote that people have an atmosphere around them that influences others. Today, science reveals that a person’s heartbeat will register on another person’s brainwaves up to 10 feet away. If your heartbeat is accelerated due to stress or anger, it registers on a person’s brain. What a powerful influence our emotions and thoughts have on others, for good or for evil. We either reveal God’s love or distort His heart. Scarred hearts, broken by sin and destructive relationships, are limping through life, looking for someone who cares. How will your face make them feel? Will they see the face of God in you?" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/33 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Could it be that the battle you are fighting will lead to a blessing? It might not feel like it right now. It certainly didn’t to Jacob on that dark, lonely night. Beset by fear and distress over looming threats from Esau’s army, Jacob was all alone by the river Jabbok. Note to the wise . . . God tends to show up when we are most alone. Suddenly, Jacob began to wrestle with a “man.” Eventually, Jacob figured out that his opponent was heaven-sent. Refusing to give up, he said, “I won’t let you go.” He knew that a blessing would come from the wrestling.
And it did. . .Jacob had struggled with both God and people, but he overcame. What you are wrestling with God over? What battles are you facing with people? Wrestling matches with God and others often leaves emotional and spiritual limps. You may be scarred from battles you have fought. Your current battle may seem lost. Just don’t let go of Christ. Cling to Him until the blessings flow. Remember this: Out of suffering come the strongest souls. God’s wounded often make His best soldiers.
Our greatest blessings come from our deepest struggles.”
Abraham knew about God's mercy and justice. Do we understand it?" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/32 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Luis Iván Martínez Toledo:
"Omicron is not the first threat we have dealt with, as we all know, and won’t be the last. Pandemics, catastrophes and wars have always been with us; and as we draw closer to the end of time, calamities in nature, society, and the human heart will increase.
Since the fall, the earth has been physically and spiritually under the influence of sin. What is the difference between the past and the things about to come? If we look carefully at the prophecy, we realize that deceitfulness is the core of society's last condition. In the past people knew that evil is evil, but gradually they are becoming accustomed to it until it becomes not only acceptable, but normal.
It happens also in religion and faith. “Satan is devising many plans to occupy minds, and to divert attention from the truths essential to salvation.”
In times like this, where are our eyes fixed? On the signs of the times to see how things are becoming worse? On the acts of Satan’s minions?
Soon humanity will look at us to see if our lives are different because our eyes are fixed on truth and the world to come. But the test will not be just our outward ethical behavior, but rather on the place the Lord of the Bible has in our lives.
“God has many thousands who have not bowed the knee to Baal.” Are we among them?" Luis Iván Martínez Toledo

Commentary by Lori Engel:
"I have seen all that Laban has been doing to you!” Spoken by God, that message surely encouraged Jacob’s troubled heart, worn out from years of overwork and emotional manipulation. How reassuring! Jacob didn’t have to fight his battles alone; God was fighting for him. Have you been deceived and mistreated by someone for years? Imagine how comforting it would be if God told you directly, “I have seen all that So-and-So is doing to you.” It’s absolutely true. Nothing escapes God’s notice: no insult, no deception, no abuse, no betrayal – absolutely nothing is too trivial for Him. Nothing escapes His sovereign scrutiny. God cares how other people treat you, the apple of His eye! You may have modern-day Labans making your life miserable today, but more importantly, you have a God who sees all that is being done to you. Trust that God will bring good out of evil, just as He did for Jacob. All things work together for our good – eventually! God specializes in turning curses into blessings. Your modern-day “Laban” may have plotted against you, but God is plotting your course. God is fighting for you. If God be for you, who can be against you?"

Commentary by Lori Engel:
"Family dysfunction is on scandalous display in Genesis 30. Sibling rivalry, polygamy, jealousy, manipulation and control, bribes, anger – it’s all there! For example, consider Rachel's demand, “Give me kids or I will die.” Rachel’s identity was based on whether or not she had children. Seeking to get her own needs met, she placed impossible demands on her frustrated husband. Her happiness was based on external circumstances that she could not control. If she couldn’t get what she wanted, then she preferred to die. “Give me what I need or I won’t be happy.” “Give me what I want or else…”
Tragic motives that expose selfish hearts. Tragic words that continue to destroy homes and lives today. Later on, Rachel’s words “I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won” reveal that she was more interested in winning than being in a relationship. How many relationships have been destroyed because of the need to win or to be right? How many of us try and manipulate others into meeting our needs?
When we trust God to fulfill our needs, we find internal security and happiness that cannot be found by manipulating or controlling others. Our joyful identities can be God-based, not human-derived." Lori Engel
