Esau's Journey

Genesis 33: 4

Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

Whew! We aren't told anything about Esau's journey to forgive and welcome his brother Jacob back into his life. But it's a relief to know that God was working in his life, too, these 20 years.

We don't need to know all the workings of what is going on in others' lives as they will affect our lives. We only need to be humble before God and trust Him to take care of the details.

Jacob had been scared to death, but God had already prepared Esau to accept him, instead of still wanting to kill him. A complete turn-around.

I can also trust God to work in my family's lives without my inserting my own two cents' worth.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
