Not The Main Character

On the surface, Genesis 27 is a story about Jacob deceiving both his father Isaac and his brother Esau in order to gain a blessing. When we look deeper, we find that it is really a story of how our sovereign God works out His plans even through the poor choices of sinful and broken people. This story offers us hope that in spite of how sinful and broken our world is, our God still sits on His throne. And even in the midst of our own brokenness, this God that we worship indeed is with us, not because of who we are or what we have done, but because of who He is and what He has done.
