1. Why did God loved Jacob and hated Esau? At first glance, this may seem unfair. However, it does not depend on human will or effort, but on God showing mercy (Romans 9:16).
2. No one can resist God’s will, for it is the strongest purpose in the universe. Everything that happens to us is subject to it. Therefore, if our life is to serve God and do His will, let us be certain that we will be blessed throughout our lives (Philippians 2:13; Romans 12:2; Genesis 26:24, 28a, 29c).
3. We Gentiles had no connection with the promises made to Abraham, for we were not God’s people. However, through Christ, Abraham’s descendant, we have been included by faith. Now we are God’s people and have taken possession of the promises made to Abraham to inherit the land (1 Peter 2:10).
4. “We must deal seriously with any sign of dissatisfaction and rebellion in our hearts, any seeking of recognition in the church. This is a danger! Ambition for position and primacy in the church will lead you to expose the nakedness of authority in order to promote yourself above it” (Numbers 12:1-15) (Daily Bread, book 5, week 4, Saturday, p. 70).
