Today's reading in Genesis 31-33 tells of Jacob's departure from Rachel and Leah's family. This account is an epic tale by itself. Drama, trickery and thievery are all there. Commentators like to point out the fact that God is able to achieve His glory even through flawed humans. I am all for that! The reunion of Esau and Jacob has me on the edge of my seat every time I read it! I love these lines: Esau said, "Then let me leave some of my men with you." "But why do that?" Jacob asked. "Just let me find favor in the eyes of my lord." So polite! But read between those lines. . .
