Most of us would prefer to work hard and prosper enough financially that we'd be able to provide for our own families. Jacob now has a family(messy as it be). He has worked hard for Laban and Laban has prospered. But now Jacob desires to go to his own home and country to provide for his own family. Laban's not ready to let go yet. Today we finish Genesis 30 and apply it by looking at the rest of scripture to see this: Prosperity is ultimately a gift from God so let's pursue it wisely and pursue eternal treasure above all else.
