Jacob and Rebecca succeeded in their purpose, but they gained only trouble and sorrow by their deception. God had declared that Jacob should receive the birthright and his word would have been fulfilled in his own time had they waited in faith for him to work for them. But like many who now profess to be children of God, they were unwilling to leave the matter in his hands. Friends, how many times do we do the same? We know that God has a plan for us. He he it says in his word, he has a good plan for us. But sometimes instead of just waiting and just being patient, we say, well, hey, look, God isn't doing anything. So maybe I need to take things into my own hands. And we do things, then most of the times, it's worse.
