So he stops and says it plainly: "all things, beloved, are for your edifying." Notice the word beloved, dropped right in the middle of a hard conversation. Ask yourself whose building up you have in mind the next time you defend yourself. Is anyone stronger when you finish speaking?

The wall of insights
What touches you in Scripture? What can we pray for? What can we thank God for?
Father, my courage runs thin and fear gets loud. Remind me again that you go where I go, that I'm…Father, my courage runs thin and fear gets loud. Remind me again that you go where I go, that I'm not walking into tomorrow alone. Steady my hands, quiet my second guessing, and help me take the next step trusting you're already there.
Thank You that even a cry like "Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face…Thank You that even a cry like "Yahweh, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?" has a place in Your word. I'm grateful You let me bring questions instead of pretending, and that You still hear me when I feel nothing.
You shall inherit it, one as well as another." No tribe gets a bigger slice for behaving better, no family…You shall inherit it, one as well as another." No tribe gets a bigger slice for behaving better, no family gets less for the years in exile. People who had lost everything are handed equal portions, because the deed was signed long before they were born: "I swore to give it to your fathers."
Your place among God's people was never a wage. Can you receive it as a gift today?
Surely you are my bone and my flesh." Warm words, an embrace, a welcome. Then the verse quietly adds, "Jacob…Surely you are my bone and my flesh." Warm words, an embrace, a welcome. Then the verse quietly adds, "Jacob stayed with him for a month." And after that month, Laban starts talking wages. Kinship became leverage. Jacob, who once used family ties to secure a blessing, now sits across from a man doing the same to him.
Lord, you walk into rooms full of weeping and see something we cannot see. When grief shouts that it's over,…Lord, you walk into rooms full of weeping and see something we cannot see. When grief shouts that it's over, help me trust your quieter word. Teach me to hold my losses loosely enough for you to touch them.
