What a character!

As I mentioned a while back I am reading the little character studies in the Life Application Bible.  Today was Laban.  He is not one of those people we think about a lot in terms of Biblical figures, but we can learn something from him.
 
Like most of these studies I have read, I can see a little of myself in him.  I guess it is the human nature that comes through in these Biblical characters that makes them so similar to us despite all our advances in many arenas since that time.
 
I am reminded from Laban’s story of how often I have been most concerned for what I get out of something or from someone.  This is less and less true, but it is still something that I have to watch, just as each of us has to watch out for our own selfish desires.
