Nine: Sometimes lying can help you, but he shouldn't have done that.
Twelve: Lying is a really bad thing and it hurt Jacob. God's plan was to bless Jacob, and Jacob didn't help that by cheating.
Forty-seven: I'm afraid my first mom thought was to roll my eyes after my nine year old's pronouncement about lying.
When we read about hovering parents of today, we can look back and see that parents hovered and did too much all the way back to the Bible too. And it didn't work any better then than now. Much like Abram sees himself losing both sons, Rebeka also loses the one son she is close but this time it is her actions that cause this loss and unlike Abram there is no happy ending for her.
In my own life it is so hard not to rush ahead of God, sure that I know His plan. It never works out as well as waiting for the Lord to guide me down the path.
