There’s a reason the vision of the coming famine wasn’t given to Jacob. Instead, it was shown to a foreign king who didn’t worship God, and God sent His servant to interpret it in a foreign land.
Sometimes who you become and the environment you grow in determines whether your calling will produce results where you are, or whether it will flourish somewhere else.
Jacob’s story is filled with favoritism and self-preservation. He was loved more by his mother, took his brother’s birthright, stole his brother’s blessing, deceived his father-in-law, wrestled for a blessing, and later showed the same favoritism among his own children by loving Joseph than the others.
One could argue that if Jacob had received the vision of famine, he might have saved only for himself and his household while everyone else suffered. Instead, the vision was given to someone with the capacity to prepare for an entire nation even in a land that didn’t worship God. And Jacob had to migrate to avoid being killed by starvation. In the end, it is the person with the larger heart and broader capacity who ends up serving the masses.
This reflection feels very close to our reality. Many of us think only about ourselves and our immediate families. When everyone is struggling, the moment our family gains access to influence or elites, we often change sides and begin to defend the same systems that hurt others. These choices are short-lived, and even our prayers struggle to produce change because we tend to hoard blessings within our small circles.
We prefer luxury for a few instead of basic necessities for all. And that is why many people now run to less religious or irreligious countries to find the opportunities and systems they pray for at home. Migration has even become something pastors and clergy openly “bless” people with. How ironic.
Perhaps the deeper truth is this: we may not yet be ready to build the kind of capacity that benefits everyone.
There’s a scene in Breaking Bad where Walter White’s wife realizes he’s made $7.5 million and says:
“There’s no way we can wash this money through a car wash. No car wash in the world makes that kind of money in a year.”
That line hit me. Because it exposes a truth most people ignore: How much you earn is capped by the kind of business you run.
You can work harder, stay longer, even get smarter - but you’ll never make more than what your business model is designed to carry.
Just wait for the paint to dry, then paint that end.
Moral lesson: If you wait to understand how to finish, you may never begin. Just start, you'll figure it out along the way.
