Jacob is an enigma as he is included among the heroes of the faith of Hebrews 11, but he was a lying, cheating, manipulative trickster.

Why did God use him? Jacob set his heart on pursuing the blessings of God at all costs, and because he prized God’s best for him, that is what he received. Jacob reaped what he sowed in the deception game, and we can certainly learn from his mistakes, but above all he demonstrates that the relentless pursuit of God is rewarded in this life and in eternity to come. God transformed him from Jacob the usurper to Israel, the one who wrestles with God and with man and prevails. So too it is with each of us. What we seek, we will find.
