October 5 — A Tale of Two Sons (Genesis 27:1–28:9)
Jack Jarrett

Later in life, a physically blind Isaac found himself spiritually blind to God’s purpose for the future of his sons. He intended to pass the blessing to his favorite firstborn — yet God had other and better plans. Through a scheming mother and a deceiving son, God’s perfect plan passed to his intended heir. A family was torn apart by sin and jealousy, and yet somehow these sinful acts found themselves serving God’s holy purposes. We’ll see this theme later in the life of Joseph — what we mean for evil, God intends for good!
