Day 9 - How solid are the words you speak?

GENESIS 25:27-28:5

Here in Genesis 27 we see the betrayal of Jacob and Rebekah. We see Isaac betrayed by his wife and his second born son. There is a desperation from Esau in his begging his father to bless him also. The words that Isaac said to Jacob (even when believing that it was Esau) were not taken back. My question is how solid are the words you speak?

Why is it that Isaac could not take the blessing off of Jacob that he spoke to him when learning he was betrayed? He didn't, instead he went on to continue to bless him by telling him what land to find his wife from. He knew what Jacob had done was wrong, he knew what he wanted to his first son Esau, but he did not go back on the blessing spoken and given. It appears that Rebekah was in control of more after learning of Esau's plot to kill his brother to receive blessing. Rebekah told Jacob to leave to hide until his brother could get over being angry and forgets what he did to him. What Rebekah does next I find that many women do to men... manipulate... she told her husband that she didn't want their son to marry a woman of their land, she made him bless Jacob by sending him to another land to find a wife, make a family, and be fruitful. Isaac did what he believed was right for his son according to his wife's wishes. Do you believe that Isaac was aware of the fact that Rebekah had been behind all of it from the beginning? If so, why wasn't there any talk of the betrayal from her? If not, how do you think that Jacob looked as his mom after knowing that she was the reason his brother wanted him dead and why he had to leave the land where his father and family were?

Do you stand firm on what you say or do you take it back? Do you say things out of convenience? Do you say things that make others look bad? Do you make situations that come your way out for your own good, to make a name for yourself or do you give credit where it is properly deserved? Are you like Rebekah in any way in the fact that you can make things happen because of the situations whether what it is you want done is right or wrong? Words are powerful! Words can be kind, sweet, informational, and inspirational; they can also be hurtful, mean, bold, and wrong. You have a choice! You have the choice to learn how the words that you say effect everyone around you. Choose carefully... Just think about how the little words of the children could and can light your entire day. Just this morning my daughter called mommy and just said, "I love you". It is amazing what those 3 words mean to me. From my children, from my mouth to my children, from my husband, and to my husband. The words you say, the things you do, and the actions you have to those around you are noted and recognized by your children, by those who love you, and those who admire you. Make the right decisions in life, take that extra step to do right and ensure it is what God is asking of you and that everything you are doing is glorifying Him. Keep Him as center in my life is what will get me through life in the right way. When I loose focus on Him and His word and will is when I fall on the desires of self and not on what God is calling for me.
