Do you feel weak and helpless and that things are out of your control? Are you in the middle of a storm? "Do not fear for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, I will surely help you; I will uphold you, with my right hand of righteousness." (Isaiah 41:10 BSB)
Jacob lost his favor with his Uncle Laban and God told him to return home to his father and close relations. He then fled at night, full of fear. His uncle pursued him, in anger. God told Jacob not to fear because his favor was with him. Laban, was told by God, not to say anything good or bad to Jacob. Laban, however, searched all of Jacob's property looking for his household idols. He did not find them and then made a covenant with Jacob.
"Laban also said, "This pile of rocks means that the LORD will watch us both while we are apart from each other." So the place was also named Mizpah. " (Genesis 31:49 CEV)
