“The angel said, ‘Look up, and you will see that only the streaked, speckled, and spotted males are mating with the females of your flock. For I have seen how Laban has treated you. 

“Please, sir, forgive me if I don’t get up for you. I’m having my monthly period.” So Laban continued his search, but he could not find the household idols.

Lord God my Father,

Bring your truth to bear on this country, my friends and myself, Lead me to your work with your power. Alone I am weak and afraid, help me keep my focus on you alone.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
