If thwarted plans leave you downhearted or discouraged, just keep reading.

His older brother was their father\u2019s favorite son \u2013 a true daddy\u2019s boy. Nevertheless, Jacob was a true mama\u2019s boy, and she and Jacob tried to secure the blessings of the eldest through trickery and ended up suffering the consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jacob ended up at his uncle\u2019s, found a pretty girl, and planed to marry her. Instead, he had to marry her older sister before he married his sweetheart. The older sister though gave him a son named Judah, one of Jesus\u2019s ancestors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, consider the plans of Jacob\u2019s sons to kill their younger brother. In stead he ends up a slave a Egypt and eventually in position to save his whole family!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God\u2019s plan always works out for His glory and our benefit in the long run.
