Genesis 27: Working Like the Devil Serving the Lord

January 04, 2022

In this story we discover four extremely self-willed people…each is determined to do things their own way and each learns a lesson that there is a price to pay when we do things our way. The story begins with the conspiracy between Isaac and Esau to avert God’s revealed will. This story illustrates the fact that we cannot frustrate the purposes of God. What do you have when you stand back and take this story as a whole? What you have is a dysfunctional family that is barely holding together. In the end, the family collapses under the weight of deception and dishonesty.
