But Lost What She'd Got

Rebekah's daring plan worked, and Jacob received the blessing God had promised him before he was born. But before the day was over, Esau's bitter tears had turned to thoughts of revenge, and Jacob had to flee for his life.
Those Daughters-in-Law!
Isaac
Esau ignored his parents' pleas and married two heathen women, bringing great sorrow into Isaac and Rebekah's home. Then, just when Isaac decided the time had come to give Esau his special blessing, Rebekah hurried off with a daring plan of her own.
Well! Well! Well!
Isaac
Isaac kept giving way instead of fighting, trusting God to look after His people even when others laughed at him. Before long, the very king who had driven Isaac away came asking for peace, and everyone could see that God had been watching over His servant all along.
No Fighting!

The Philistines kept filling in Isaac's wells, and his angry herdsmen begged for permission to fight back. But Isaac quietly refused, trusting God to provide another well instead...even when it seemed everyone else thought he was making a terrible mistake.
Beautiful Stew!
Isaac
Esau came home from a long hunt hungry enough to eat almost anything, and Jacob had his favorite red lentil stew waiting. Before the meal was over, Esau had traded away his birthright for a bowl of pottage...never dreaming what it would one day cost him.
Double Trouble!
Isaac
"Thank you, father," was all Jacob could say as he carried the empty tray back to his mother’s tent. "Got it!" Rebekah said. And tears of joy fell down her cheeks. But Jacob was in a cold sweat. They weren’t through the woods yet.
