Through his mother’s assistance, Jacob stole the blessing intended for his firstborn brother, Esau.  He is a picture of us, imperfect persons who live under God’s blessing.

This life is a chance to see God keep chipping away at the things in our life that aren’t like Him.

The Psalmist said, “The Lord will complete what his purpose is for me. Lord, your gracious love is eternal; do not abandon your personal work in me.”  Ps. 138:8

DAILY PRAYER:  Lord, You are so merciful to us.  Forgive our sin, and keep us in the way everlasting.

DAILY PRAYER:  Gen. 25-27
