Men of Character: Jacob: Following God Without Looking Back

---

After his twin brother, Esau, sold his birthright to him for a bowl of soup, Jacob thought his life would be one of comfort and ease. Yet Jacob paid dearly for that deception and others as he tried for fulfill God's promise on his own, rather than having faith that God would fulfill them in His time, Jacob received a taste of his own bitter medicine as he was tricked into marrying Leah, the older sister of his beloved Rachel. With two wives, multiple mistresses and children in half a dozen tents. Jacob headed a family wracked with jealousy, bickering and intrigue until he realized he must trust God completely and follow Him faithfully. Today as in Jacob's time, true faith brings reconciliation and peace beyond what even the most diligent family leader can do without God's guiding hand.
