Today is Wednesday, November 7, 2018, and here is your daily devote. The account of Jacob in Esau forces us to take a look at ourselves. There are times when we can feed the flesh as Esau did, but there are also times when we can work from our flesh as Jacob did. There are plenty of people in the church today who are doing things for Jesus, but are manipulating others or taking matters into their own hands to do that very work.
Yes, we are also unworthy to be recipients of God's love, grace and mercy. We are also unworthy to be used by God as light in the midst of sin's darkness. Many times we may not feel as though God should use us. We fail to value spiritual blessings, chase after the things of the physical life, and operate from a worldly mindset rather than a spiritual one.
And yet, we can hold fast to the scriptures to see how God still works redemption through unworthy people like us. Think about this. What parts of Jacob and Esau's story shed light on our own character when it comes to making decisions? How does knowing that God uses unlikely and unworthy people to accomplish his plan free us from the fear of not being qualified to share his message?
