—Genesis 27:46-28:5
by: Cheri Appel.
Rebekah once again directed the family action. She eavesdropped on Esau, warned Jacob to leave, and convinced Isaac that this son should marry a woman from among her relatives. In spite of her selfish motives, God used Rebekah to further His promise. Jacob would become a great nation. He returned to possess the land where he was born. Through Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the whole world has been blessed with a Savior. God often allows our selfish motives to spur action that He then uses to carry out His good and perfect will. Let’s thank and praise our wise, wonderful God!
