Merciful Master

 “Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.” Genesis 31:41 NKJV

Through the mercy of God, the prison service system all over the world has often produced life-changing transformation stories of world-changers. And the same correctional experiences are noticeable outside the prison walls, through voluntary participation in reformation activities, internship opportunities, system disciplinary actions, etc. For Jacob’s 20 years internship with Laban, it was sincerely difficult for anyone to know the right assignment of mercy and justice between Jacob and Laban. Likewise, it was a power play of deceit and decency across the divides. Whereas, God stood out as the only merciful Master all the times: “Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me…(Genesis 31:42)”. Even when God permits believers to walk through the courtrooms of His justice system, His mercy wouldn’t enable believers to walk alone; the steadfastness of the Lord never cease and His mercy never ever come to an end.
