*COMMENTARY*
Nobody can make himself better than what God intends for him but when your ambition fails and you concoct evil ways to achieve it, you may hurt yourself, there are more righteous means through which you can achieve same, though you will have to wait on God with patience. God had already chosen Jacob from the womb ahead of his sibling twin. Instead of going by God's time-table, Jacob and his mother conspired to have the birth-right with deceit.
By so doing, antagonized themselves with Esau, bringing about a long drawn family feud. Jacob left home in fear and stayed with his uncle, Laban. In spite of his selfish disposition, he still had God on his side. It was actually a hybrid of sadness and joy as he served fourteen years for Rachael and his wages negatively changed severally. He was paid in his own coin. As God watched him, He saw a changed man in him and directed him to go back to the Promised Land.
On his way, he was told that his brother was coming with 400 men to meet him. He became sore afraid as he recalled his wrong doing towards him. He opted for peaceful reconciliation with irresistible gifts and prayers. He was still unsettled because of his wives and children. Sins and wrong doing deny us confidence, peace and boldness not only before men but before God. The golden verse states that the righteous man is as bold as a lion.
