2012 Reading Through

Genesis 25-26 (Day 20)

_ Chapter 25
The LORD spoke to Rebekah that, “the older shall serve the younger" (Gen. 25:23), so the encouragement of Rebekah to Jacob to be conniving in chapter 27 was entirely useless. Jacob would set himself up to learn the painful lesson that Abraham his grandfather learned: you can’t bring forth the promise of God with the strength of the flesh.

Chapter 26
Just as Isaac needed to contend for the wells Abraham had dug, we need to contend to see everything God has given us regardless of the opposition. We need to stand with Leadership that will fight for what past generations had and then go on to see more. How sad it is when Leaders “explain away” the things God has for His people like healing and the release of God’s Spirit in their lives

It seems that Rebekah started out strong to be able leave with Eliezer to an unknown place and to marry someone she hadn't met before. She would be traveling a long distance and may never see her family again, but obviously trusted it to be God's plan.

But then in Chapter 27 she has lost her trust in God when she and Jacob are ploting how to make sure that Jacob gets the blessing instead of Esau, eventhough God already spoken to her that Jacob the younger would rule the older. Evidently Isaac loved Esau more because of the venison he made his father, and Rebekah loved Jacob more Chapter 25:28, this right away would seem to be an recipe for disaster in a family, without the normal sibling rivalry.

Also the blessing could not be undone once Isaac spoke it over Jacob he could not just undo it. So a point for us to remember when speaking and confessing scriptiure over our loved ones, our words have a lot of power in them!
