Assume

Genesis 27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.

With this act Jacob stole Esau’s blessing. On the face of it, Jacob could be counted as a thief. Assuming that a blessing can come about by bad behavior is the wrong message. If we allow ourselves to see bible messages in this manner we lead ourselves into bad choices based on vain imaginations.

Genesis 27:37 And Isaac answered and said unto Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now unto thee, my son?

Here is the essence of the lesson that the blessing could not be undone once given.

Have you become a son of adoption who cries Abba Father? That blessing cannot be undone. Knowing this and seeing the blessing fall upon you, do no assume too much in the blessing either.

“Nothing can take my blessing away, I can do whatever I want!”

Poor assumptions based on truth are still possible. King David sinned against God after his anointing and David escape punishment by forgiveness but the consequences for sin remained.

2 Samuel 12:13-14 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

Our sins will give Satan all he needs to blaspheme against our Lord. We need to understand the whole truth and not assume anything that even smells of taking advantage of the blessings we receive.
