Today we are reading Genesis 33. In this chapter we read about Jacob/Israel meeting Esau. “And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two female servants. And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all. He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept. And when Esau lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, he said, “Who are these with you?” Jacob said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.” Then the servants drew near, they and their children, and bowed down. Leah likewise and her children drew near and bowed down. And last Joseph and Rachel drew near, and they bowed down.” Genesis 33:1-7 ESV Jacob’s fear was at a peak when his brother appeared. I’m sure he imagined the worst! What he got was something different. His brother ran forward and embraced him and kissed him. Wow! Have you ever walked those steps? When we include God, He causes outcomes we can’t imagine! Include God in your struggles. Let Him be your guide! Pastor Tim
