Jacob's story as a patriarch demonstrates the difference between a life of obedience to God and a life of obedience to man. The family trait of deception and opportunism took center stage during the twenty years of indentured servitude to Laban. It was not only practiced in the immediate family of Jacob but also in the extended one. Under the protective bubble of his parents’ blessings from God, Jacob thought he could escape the consequences of his deception of his father. The outcome was God’s will and purpose, and Isaac accepted this with peace in his heart. For Jacob, however, God's purpose was what he was fleeing from. This time Jacob will see that God will allow us to be tested in order to surrender our will for his purpose - which is ultimately for our good.
