Twins in the womb, a tale unfolds,
Jacob and Esau, destinies bold.
Before first breath, a choice was made,
Jacob, I love but Esau, I hate ( Malachi 1 2 3)
Struggling siblings, a mother's plight,
Two nations warring, day and night.
Older serves younger, a twist divine,
Not strength or riches, but God's design.
Newborns innocent, yet marked by grace,
Divine preference, in time and space.
Not deeds, nor merit, could sway the hand,
A sovereign choice, across the land.
Jacob, the chosen, a tangled thread,
Liar and schemer, the path he tread.
Birthright bartered, for a bowl of stew,
Deception's shadow, forever new.
Oh, the depths of divinity,
A symphony of destiny.
Divine purpose, a guiding light,
Shining through darkness, making all bright.
Divine preference, a mystery untold,
In God's grand plan, a story unfolds.
Through trials and triumphs, His love remains,
In the dance of grace, forever sustains.
Though Jacob deceived, God's favor stood,
A promise in dreams, misunderstood.
Blessings of Abraham, a sacred vow,
Land and descendants, here and now.
Wrestling with God, in shadows deep,
"Bless me!" he cried, secrets to keep.
Israel he's named, a change profound,
Father of tribes, on holy ground.
Esau, rejected, Edom's sire,
Forgiveness offered, setting hearts higher.
Yet destiny's course, forever set,
Divine favoritism, none can forget.
Rebekah's bias, a mother's plea,
Favoritism woven, for all to see.
Challenging fairness, justice defied,
God's sovereign mercy, as our guide.
Not human merit, but will divine,
His plan unfolding, in every line.
Oh, the depths of divinity,
A symphony of destiny.
Divine purpose, a guiding light,
Shining through darkness, making all bright.
Divine preference, a mystery untold,
In God's grand plan, a story unfolds.
Through trials and triumphs, His love remains,
In the dance of grace, forever sustains.
Through twists of fate and human flaws,
God's purpose shines, defying laws.
Divine preference, a mystery veiled,
In Jacob's journey, a story unveiled.
Not perfection sought, but grace bestowed,
A chosen vessel, on life's road.
From scheming hands to a nation's birth,
God's sovereign will, shaping the earth.
Though questions linger, and doubts arise,
His divine plan, before our eyes.
A tapestry woven, with threads unseen,
In Jacob's story, God's love convene.
So let us ponder, with hearts sincere,
The depths of mercy, banishing fear.
For in His favor, a hope we find,
A purpose eternal, for all mankind.
Oh, the depths of divinity,
A symphony of destiny.
Divine purpose, a guiding light,
Shining through darkness, making all bright.
Divine preference, a mystery untold,
In God's grand plan, a story unfolds.
Through trials and triumphs, His love remains,
In the dance of grace, forever sustains.
