We all know the scriptures about sewing and reaping, but we often don't think about the vaste scope that this principle covers. Jacob had used deceit to obtain his brothers birthright and fathers blessing. This behaviour was returned when his future father-in-law Laban, deceived him into taking Leah in marriage first before Rachel.
Between these two women and their concubines, they bore to Jacob the sons that would become the leaders of the 12 tribes of Israel, but these children came at a price. Rachel the wife Jacob loved, died while giving birth to Benjamin.
I've heard it said that you will loose what you compromise for. We can't expect God to bless our actions when they are not grounded in his word. We need to allow the word of God to govern our actions and lead us as we build our lives.
