We all reach points in our life where we feel stuck and unable to move forward. Our ability to see only what is directly in front of us contributes to this, but the truth is, God is always working - ordering events and arranging circumstances to get us from where we are to where He ultimately wants us to be. Jacob’s life gives us a great example of this, and once we receive the truth that God is for us and he has gone before us, it can help us get unstuck.
