How do you handle God's will?
What do you do with God’s will, his revealed will? This passage gives us a glimpse at the two most popular and prevalent answers. On the one hand, in Isaac, we have the ‘I know God’s will BUT…’ response – this is the response that acknowledges that God’s will has been made clear but we humans want to do something else. Put simply, this is the response of disobedience. On the other hand, in Rebekah, we have the ‘I know God’s will SO…’ response – this is the response that acknowledges God’s will has been made clear but that we don’t trust God to do as he says, so… . Put simply, this is the response of the ends justify the means, and God cannot be trusted. Both are wrong. Both lead to a mess and both are responses that Jesus avoids, thankfully. Just listen to his prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane – ‘Father, take this cup from me, but not my will but yours be done’.
