Today's Scripture *May 15-16, 2010*
Genesis 27:24
“But are you really my son Esau?” he asked.
“Yes, I am,” Jacob replied.
Although Jacob got the blessing he wanted, deceiving his father cost him dearly. These are some of the consequences of that deceit.
(1) he never saw his mother again; (2) his brother wanted to kill him ; (3) he was deceived by his uncle, Laban ; (4) his family became torn by strife ; (5) Esau became the founder of an enemy nation (even to this very day) ; (6) he was exiled from his family for years.
Ironically, Jacob would have received the birthright and blessing anyway (Genesis 25: 23 And the Lord told her, “The sons in your womb will become two nations. From the very beginning, the two nations will be rivals. One nation will be stronger than the other; and your older son will serve your younger son.” ).
Imagine how different his life would have been had he and his mother waited for God to work, His way, in His time.
We must always keep in mind that deception--no matter how small we think it is--leads to consequences, not only for us but for those around us.
Father, we praise You for who You are and for the plans You have for each of our lives.
Help us to wait on Your perfect timing in all things. Help us to trust You with all the details!
And show us Lord, daily, the value of honest living. May we vanquish deception from any place it has in our lives.
May we be a people of honesty and integrity. Waiting and trusting on You! In Jesus' Name, Amen..
Have a blessed Son-filled weekend!
See you on Monday!
God bless,
April
