The Departure

Human self-reliance, deceit, and self-righteousness all stem from the moment we lose our reverence and trust in God, leading us to rely on our own schemes and "pocket gods" to secure our lives. Yet this time, Genesis 30-31 told us that even in the midst of our flaws and manipulation, our ultimate hope and security are found not in our own efforts, but in the overwhelming faithfulness and sovereign grace of God.
