    Genesis 25 is primarily written in prose, but God’s words to Rebekah in poetic form about her pregnancy emphasize the importance of what He is saying to her and the fate of her sons. The poem reads, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples born of you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the elder shall serve the younger” (Gen. 25:23). God has foretold that the two brothers will have numerous descendants that are able to form two nations, but he does not explain why they will be in conflict. As is common in the Bible, the younger son achieves superiority over his elder brother. There is an odd choice of words in this poem though. By saying that Esau will “serve” Jacob it implies that he will forever be in his shadow, however they are separated for many years and Esau was never submissive toward Jacob. Nonetheless, God’s words to her about her sons could explain why Rebekah favored Jacob and why she helped him deceive Isaac. The favoritism Jacob and Esau’s parents show also has a great significance on how their lives will transpire.…

    Throughout the Old Testament, God poses many challenges for people both in the sense of entire nations to individuals as well. In each instance there was a purpose for the challenges. Sometimes God was looking to see how people would act and follow laws and other times he wanted to test them. In Genesis 22 God posed a test for Abraham. He commanded him to travel to Moriah and offer his son Isaac to him as a burnt offering. Abraham obeys God and takes Isaac to the place God had told him. He brings with him two of his servants and on the way to the mountain Isaac asks Abraham why there is not sheep for the offering. It would seem that Isaac was catching on to what was happening and he still did not hesitate to follow his father carrying the very wood he was to be burned with. When Abraham was about to slay his son an angel of the Lord stopped him and told him that since he did not withhold his son he was the favored one.…

    From the time of his birth, Moses had many experiences that uniquely prepared him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. Moses was adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and brought up in the king’s household. He learned by observing his adopted grandfather the meaning of authority and leadership. Moses received the best available education in the ancient world. Later, after he was forced to leave Egypt, Moses learned about life in the desert while working as a shepherd. Moses would use everything that he learned from these life experiences to lead his people out of Egypt. All of these experiences that prepared Moses for leadership were a part of God’s unique plan and purpose for Moses’ life. Psalm 139:16 tells us, “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” God has given you your life experiences to prepare you for the vision that He has given to you. God is not finished. He will continue to give you experiences that will mold you into the person that God wants you to become. God is making you into person who will resemble Jesus and who will give glory to…
