—Genesis 27:30-40
by: Cheri Appel.
Reading these 10 verses, one might feel sympathy toward Isaac and Esau who had been tricked and cheated. Very little blessing was left for Esau. God’s prophesy had come true. Reading the whole story, however, reveals these two men were not innocent in determining the paths their lives had taken. How often do we attempt to make things happen as we think they should, rather than waiting on God? When has something seemed trivial to us, and we tossed it away, only to find that God put that “something” into our lives for great benefit? Where is our faith in His plan?
