—Genesis 27:5-17

These family members all showed the shallow end of their faith. Rebekah and Jacob had both lived under the influence of Abraham and Isaac for most of their lives. Yet they failed to trust Almighty God to fulfill His prophesy given about the twins. Instead of the scheming, what could Rebekah have done? How could Jacob have stopped his mother in her plan of deceit? Within our circles of family, co-workers, and friends, how can we let God be God? Do we show our faith in Him to do what He has declared? Is it ever okay to do the wrong thing to try to accomplish what you believe is God’s will?
