Has It Come to This?

 Genesis 27:26 Then his father Isaac said to him, “Come near and kiss me, my son.” 27 So he came near and kissed him. And Isaac smelled the smell of his garments and blessed him and said,
“See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that the Lord has blessed!
28 May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the earth and plenty of grain and wine.
29 Let peoples serve you, and nations bow down to you.
Be lord over your brothers, and may your mother's sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be everyone who blesses you!”
30 As soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, when Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, Esau his brother came in from his hunting. 

We saw the other day how Jacob was born holding on to the heal of his older brother - always trying to keep up with him. Here we find him making that final tug to pull him back and get ahead at the finish line. The problem was, God had already promised the things Jacob (and his mother) connived to get. God promises and provides. He doesn't need us to cheat to receive what He says He will give. Do we trust Him enough to wait for His time and His way?
