Under Gods Command

Sin has a way of coming back to haunt us  

Part 2 

Genesis 27:11-12: Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “But my brother Esau is a hairy man, and I’m a man with smooth skin.  What if my father touches me? I would appear to be tricking him and would bring down a curse on myself rather than a blessing.”   

How we react to a moral dilemma often exposes our real motives.  Frequently we are more worried about getting caught than about doing what is right.  Jacob did not seem concerned about the deceitfulness of his mother’s plan; instead he was afraid of getting in trouble while carrying it out.  If you are worried about getting caught, you are probably in a position that is less than honest.  Let your fear of getting caught be a warning to do right.  Jacob paid a huge price for carrying out this dishonest plan.
