The book of Genesis tells us how Jacob and his mother Rebekah plotted and deceived Isaac into getting Esau's blessings. It went on to say that Esau held a grudge against Jacob for stealing the blessings that were meant for him. Esau planned on killing Jacob after their father Isaac's death. So Jacob fled to his uncle Laban's house in Haran. For many years, Jacob was afraid to return home because of Esau.
But you see, God had a different plan for Jacob. God was in control - e...ven then! Genesis 31:3 says "Then the Lord said to Jacob, RETURN to the land of your father and grandfather and to your relatives there, and I WILL BE WITH YOU.”

God knew returning home was the last thing Jacob wanted to do due to fear. But God also knew His plan for Jacob's life was back in Canaan. So he sent Jacob back home to Canaan. But God didn't send him into danger, God went ahead of him to soften Esau's heart before Jacob got there. God granted Jacob favor with Esau. So Esau received him back peacefully. What is your greatest fear? What or Who are you avoiding? What or who are you running away from?
Whatever it is, KNOW that God's plan ALWAYS trumps our greatest fears. Jacob obviously wasn't perfect. But he served God faithfully.
So, serve God faithfully, listen to his voice and OBEY his instructions - even if those instructions leads you straight into your greatest fear. Remember, IF He sends you there, He WILL be with you!
May God continue to bless you and your families!
