S – But Esau ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around him, and kissed him. Then they wept. ⁵ When Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, “Who are these with you?” 

He answered, “The children God has graciously given your servant…”

⁹ “I have enough, my brother,” Esau replied. “Keep what you have.” 

Genesis 33:4–9 CSB

O – Commentary:

Esau, however, eagerly ran to meet Jacob and embraced him … kissed him, and they both wept. What a change is made when “God fights” in His way. In talking with Esau, Jacob constantly referred to himself as your servant or “his servant” (vv. 5, 14) and to his brother as “my lord” (vv. 8, 13–15) whereas Esau simply called Jacob “my brother”

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

A – It is amazing to see how God works.  Jacob knows he is different and living out a relationship with God.  While we don’t read about Esau’s journey, he is different.  Their meeting is not resentment or bitterness.  Instead it is reconciliation and relationship.  It gives us hope for those relationships which are difficult and distant.  God can change those to something better.

R – Heavenly Father, you are Jehovah Shalom, God of Peace.  We invite you to work in our relationships – the ones which are difficult and challenging.   Please bring peace and reconciliation where there is strife and resentment.  We know you can do anything.
