A cunning plan

2/4/2018

After Jacob had got his herd of Black Speckled and spotted lambs, he went 3 miles away from there and established his new flock by putting the healthy ones together to mate and by cutting strips off poplar strands and putting them by the water so they would mate in front of the streaks, thus adding immensely to Jacobs flocks and he became a very wealthy man (we're in Chapter 30 of Genesis now by the way).  So by careful planning and strategy Jacob became a rich and shrewd business man. Not much is mentioned about God's part in all this , but we know that Jacob was a God-fearing man.
So he probably sought God's advice on his plans or just trusted in the brains God had given him.
Bye for now
