What are the lessons from this passage?
The first thing we need to realize is that lying is a deliberate act as seen in the passage above. Moreover, once you start lying, you need to tell another and in fact several lies to cover up your previous lies.
Lastly, there are always adverse repercussions of every lie you tell, as Jacob eventually have to flee from his older brother who had planned to murder him in anger.
Jacob could not come back to his father’s house until twenty years later, and by then his mother had died. So, Rebekah also did not live to benefit from the reward of her conspiratorial deception.
I believe it is possible to say the truth. I have come across a few individuals who always say the truth at all times. If we pray to God, He will give us the grace to always hold to the truth at all times.
It is only the Holy Spirit that can give us power to overcome the spirit of lying. The Bible says that all liars shall not enter the kingdom of God.
Let us pray today, that God through his spirit shall give us the power to overcome the lying spirit and say the truth at al times.
