Genesis 28-29 Matthew 14-

Genesis 28-29-
Isaac commanded Jacob not to marry a Canaanite woman. Vs 7 "Jacob obeyed his father and mother. Then, Esau realized how displeasing Canaanite women were to his father and decided to marry another wife! I love verse 15 "I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go." Jacob says "Lord, give me food to eat and clothes to wear" and you will be my God. Jacob humbly asked for necessities

Laban was the brother of Rebekah. We recall that Laban didn't want his sister to leave right away, hindering God's will for his sisters life! Then, Jacob comes to take his daughter for a wife and Laban deceives him! Laban has him marry Leah after working for 7 years, then works another 7 years for Rachel.

How Jacob and Rachel met :) He saw her watering sheep. We know that the Bible said she's beautiful. He goes up to her.....29:11 "Jacob kissed Rachel and began to weep aloud." She ran and told her father and Laban hurried to meet him. Jacob was in love with Rachel. (vs 20). He genuinely loved Rachel :) He served 14 years but "they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." I love "love stories" :) Sniff

As for Jacob's other wife, Leah, she was unloved by Jacob. He loved Rachel more than Leah so God opened Leah's womb and blessed her with 4 children.

Matthew 14-
Jesus feeds over 5,000 people after giving thanks to God for the 5 loaves and 2 fish. We see that he went away by himself often to pray.

Also, even though Peter stepped out in faith to meet Jesus on the water, Jesus still said to him "you of little faith".
