PARABLE:
What does LORD God say ??
Genesis 27:
SO WHAT ??
Being caught is the fear that keeps most of us from lying to others.
When I was a kid, Mom & Dad watched some WEIRD TV shows.
One we saw every week was the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. 1 puzzle = why it was so funny that EVERY week at least 2 or 3 times, Tommy would whine to Dick that "YOU were Mom's favorite"....
and people laughed every time.
I often thought my brother was Mom's favorite
(and that I was Dad's-- never needing to be told to study)....
and wonder if this show gave me the idea.
What does LORD God say ??
Genesis 27:
Rebecca played
favorites with her children... wanted the younger twin to be blessed by
Dad (& inherit "the best"). So when Isaac told his oldest to go hunt
& then make a stew & then Isaac would bless Esau... Mom told
Jacob her scheme to trick the old about-blind Dad.
She's received most
of the blame thru history.
But Jacob's argument was NOT "That is WRONG."
It was to describe how he feared they would be caught...
And thus he created HATRED that has endured for centuries in a
family that SPLIT because of Lies and Manipulations.....
SO WHAT ??
Being caught is the fear that keeps most of us from lying to others.
And
Satan the Dad of all lies (said JESUS-- John 8:44)
rejoices when our #1
goal is to MANIPULATE to get our way,
instead of simply pleasing our God
who has already blessed
us with so much.
Just as Jacob's Dad was rich: Jacob STILL would've
been well blessed by him & by God had he simply been Truth filled.
.
Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
Prayer:
LORD God who is named YHWH (You said in Isaiah 42:8 Hebrew),
LORD it is SO
amazing that You, the LORD of All, not only invite but yearn for us
Each to "plug in" to restore our souls with You...
