Genesis chapter 33 verses

1 through 4.

Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked and behold Esau was coming and 400 men with him.

So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two female servants

and he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.

He himself went on before them, bowing himself to the ground seven times until he came near his brother. But Esau ran to meet him and embraced

him and fell on his neck and kissed him and they wept.

What a scene.

Remember, Jacob at this point is frightened, like scared for his own life and for the life of his family

because he's going to meet E.S.

And last time he was near Esau.

Esau wanted to kill Jacob.

It's part of why he fled.

And now he's coming back,

he's prayed to God for safety and protection as he meets Esau, yet he's prepared for the worst.

And in verse 4, Esau runs to meet Jacob, embraces him, falls on him,

and they weep together.

This powerful reunion that happens between these two brothers who were enemies

one desiring to kill the other, one having deceived the other, now reconciled together.

And as I read this story, I can't help but to think that there are likely many people who are

listening right now. We're about to pray together and you have relationships in your life.
