Well, as we come to a close in our brief look at the life of Rebecca, we find she has successfully assisted Jacob in deceiving his father. The blessing is secure in the midst of deceit.
"Crime speaks to the wicked. I perceive this in my heart; before his eyes there is no fear of God.
For the way he sees it, crime makes his life easy---that is until his wrongs are discovered. Then he is hated." Psalm 36:1-2
God's plan for Jacob was "slightly" adjusted by he and his Mom. Now when Esau finds out about the deceit, even though guilty himself, he hates his brother. But God will intervene and continue His plan for both brothers.
"Lord, in the heavens is your grace; your faithfulness reaches to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mountains of God, your judgements are like the great deep. You save man and beast, Lord." Psalm 36: 5-6
When God has a specific plan He announces it very clearly as He did with Jacob. Here is another announcement that He clearly made:
"...Don't be afraid, because I am here announcing to you Good News that will bring great joy to all the people. This VERY DAY, in the town of David, there was born to you a Deliverer who is the Messiah, the Lord." Luke 2: 10
"IN THE HIGHEST HEAVEN, GLORY TO GOD!
AND ON EARTH, PEACE AMONG PEOPLE OF GOOD WILL!"
Luke 2:14
"May that be truly said of all us, and all of us! And so as Tiny Tim said:
GOD BLESS US EVERY ONE!"
A CHRISTMAS CAROL
