Poor Jacob thought his trickery of his father went unnoticed.
He forgot that quotation mark the Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examined them" (Psalm 11:4).
Someone said," you may get by, but you won't get away!"
Little did Jacob know that God would discipline him by preparing someone even trickier than himself to enter his life.
Quotation mark my son, do not despise the Lords discipline... Because the Lord disciplines those he loves" (Proverbs 3:11, 12).
For seven long years, Jacob served Laban for Rachel, and then, on the waiting night, Laban tricked him into marrying Leah.
It is interesting that Jacob deceived his father in a tent and he himself was deceived in a tent!
God will discipline you with the exact process you used on someone else. God loved Jacob and knew that until he met a superior deceiver, he would be tricking, deceiving and supplanting the rest of his life.
Do not despise the Lords work in your life.
He loves you, and "afterward" his discipline will yield in you" the peaceable fruit of righteousness"! (Hebrews 12:11).
