Bible Study – Genesis 27

S – Suppose my father touches me. Then I will be revealed to him as a deceiver and bring a curse rather than a blessing on myself.” 

13 His mother said to him, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey me and go get them for me.” 

Genesis 27:12–13 CSB

O – Commentary:

Jacob had no guilt—only fear—regarding the plan. But the blessing was in danger and all must be risked, including even the possibility of a curse on Rebekah (vv. 12–13). So Jacob did as his mother told him. 

 “Genesis,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – It is a dangerous place when you have no guilt or concern about deception.  Was missing out on the blessing enough to secure it through deception and stealing it from its rightful owner.  Where does the faith in God to provide and do his will?  Yet, God allowed the blessing to stay in tact.  It is an interesting journey in our own faith to see what God has for us in provision and manifestation of his power.

R – Heavenly Father, nothing is hid from you or is out of your scope of power.  Help us to grow our faith in your provision and will.  We want to lead with pure motives and hearts.  Give us strength to follow your direction and paths.
