Before this story, we learned Abraham died and was buried with Sarah. Isaac and Rebekah had twins named Jacob and Esau. Esau, the older twin sold his birthright to Jacob for some stew. Now, we will learn about Rebekah and Jacob tricked Isaac into giving Jacob his blessing, inspired by the book of Genesis.

Genesis 27:34
Today, we'll hear the story of Jacob tricking his dad to get Esau's blessing. Jacob, with his mom's support, used deception to secure the blessing, even though God had already promised great things to their family. Instead of trusting God's plans, they tried to control the situation. But the Bible reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not rely on our own understanding. No matter what challenges we face, we should trust God. If we pray and trust Him, He will guide us. Jacob's deceit had severe consequences, causing pain and separation within the family. However, God's grace didn't abandon Jacob. So remember, trust in God's goodness and love, and let Him lead your path.
