Written By: Torrie Slaughter

I summed up today's reading with two words: Scandalous-Deceit.

In Genesis 27, we read the continued plot to secure Jacob's superiority over Esau and become head of their tribe.

Am I acting with divine authority?

That was the question I asked of Rebekah and what we can ask ourselves daily.

  2. Selfishness: Esau's choice of brides causes misery (adversity, distress) within the family. Gen. 26:34-35
