60 Jacob Flees to Find a Wife in Haran

Rebecca approached Isaac to tell him of her weariness of Esau taking wives from the Canaanites against his parent’s wishes. She knew that Jacob must go to Haran and get a family member to marry. She came from there and knew that her family in Haran could produce a satisfactory wife for him. She had experienced too much grief from Esau. All of us who have been chosen to receive Gods Holy Spirit receive correction and suffering (Deuteronomy 8: 5; Job 5: 17-18, 36: 8-12; Isaiah 48: 10; Daniel 12: 10). This is what produces the purity and direction of His Will. He needs to place us in positions to be willing to receive His directions and then serve Him. Jacob would receive the correction and shaping in his life from God in Haran during his stay there.
