As you learned, I began life thinking treachery was the way to get what I wanted. But God protects His servants in spite of themselves.

God disciplined me, and believe me, that was no fun! First, He allowed me to be the victim of deception. He wrestled with me in the desert. And He allowed me to live in fear of my brother. Thankfully, Esau proved himself to be a bigger man than I. My brother forgave me.

After my trials, I emerged victorious and spiritually mature. In hindsight, I'm grateful for His discipline.

Behold! I see someone I recognize.

I wish you well on the next test.

Think about His will for your life.

He shall

redeem their soul from deceit and violence:

and precious shall their blood be in his sight.

Psalm 72:14
