Jacob . His Problem Was His Name

The circumstance of a birth
Must not be blamed on the new born
He held to his brother’s heel
So he was named Jacob the cheat
 
He lived true to his name
Always looking for an opportunity to outsmart
If your brother comes in hungry… feed him
Don’t ask for his birthright in return
 
With a conniving mother he got the fathers blessing
But that seemed to mark the beginning of his woes
Firstly he fled from home in fear of death
And was introduced to senior cheater Laban
 
He was cheated in love and introduced to Polygamy
He had his wage reviewed downward ten times
He had children who we can call very dangerous
The so called fathers blessing was not evidenced
 
After a life with Laban; He will return home
He will face Esau whom he ran away from
Esau had moved on and was reeking of blessing
On the other hand he was deathly scared
 
So he arranged his small troupe in case he needs to run
Then he decided to do a smart thing
He had a fight night with God
His prayer; bless me or I won’t let you go
 
God will unearth the genesis of his travails
What is your name he asked; Jacob he responded?
You will now be called Israel; a prince
His true destiny revealed… it continues
