Hebrews 11:20
It is hard for our western minds to understand what was so unusual in the faith of Isaac, Jacob , and Joseph, as recorded in the next three verses. Isaac, for instance, achieved a place in faith’s hall of fame because he invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau .
What was remarkable about that?
Before the children were born, the Lord announced to Rebekah that the boys would become the source of two nations and that the older (Esau) would serve the younger (Jacob).
Esau was Isaac’s favorite and, as the elder son, would normally have received the best portion from his father.
But Rebekah and Jacob deceived Isaac, whose sight was now poor, into giving the best blessing to Jacob.
When the plot was exposed, Isaac trembled violently.
Because he remembered God’s word that the older would serve the younger, and in spite of his favoritism for Esau, he realized that God’s overruling of his natural weakness must stand.
