Genesis 27

After hearing Isaac tell Esau to go out and hunt game(to receive the blessing) Rebecca prompted Jacob to go and get the blessing before his brother returned.

I never understood this story, of why would Rebecca tell her son to steal her older brothers blessing. Why would we deceive his father and gain something dishonorably?. It wasn’t until last night i gained a little more insight on this story.

Reading earlier chapters we see how while Jacob and Esau were in the womb, God told Rebecca “the older shall serve the younger.”
Reading up to the point of receiving the blessing we see how Esau forsook his birthright, and also grew to be a problem for the Isaac and Rebecca.

Remembering the promise that God had on Jacob’s life allowed Rebecca to help her son walk into his calling and ultimately become the nation of Israel.

Reading this i’m reminded to remember the promises and dreams that God has over my life and over those around me. That i’m to remember that God has an ultimate plan, and how can I continue to pursue Him.

This morning I listened to banning liebscher, and again he preached about the process. Really hit home again. What he said is so true. “It is dangerous to be out of season.”

The example he used was a semi truck that “jackknifes.” basically what happens is that the trailer is moving faster than the truck causing the the whole vehicle to loose control.

Whatever season we are in, God has us there for a reason. He is God, and I am not. How ever long he wants me in this season, Lord let me do it well.

Last few weeks The lord has been speaking to me about process.

Esther was prepared for “a time such as this.”
Joseph went through through his process to becoming a ” father to pharaoh.”

Today I was listening to Danny silk and he too was talking about the same thing. Ultimately it is all a build up for breakthrough.
The process and trials we go through today is the dam that is being built up for breakthrough tomorrow.

“Do not think to yourself that in the king’s palace you will escape any more than all the other Jews. For if you keep slient at this time, relief and deliverance will rise from the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish.”

Security isn’t found in gold, palaces or riches. Security comes from making the right decisions at crucial times. For we’ve all been called “for a time like this.”

Hi everybody,

I guess I’m back on wordpress.
It’s been about a year and I’ve learned a lot about myself.

I guess a big part of why i’m starting again is to get know myself, and more importantly who God’s created me to be.

I’m Learning to love, and more importantly… Learning to be loved.
