Then Rebekah said to Isaac, "I'm disgusted with living because of these Hittite women. If Jacob takes a wife from among the women of this land...my life will not be worth living."
Rebekah's deception continues. Truth is, Esau is none too happy that Jacob stole what was rightfully his. Rebekah wants to send Jacob away to protect him. But that's not what she tells her husband. She tells him another lie, and adds some female drama to go with it.
How often do we lie and manipulate to get what we want? For some reason, women seem to be particularly adept at playing these games. Again, they have no place in a godly marriage. Be honest, don't play games, honor your husband's wisdom, and trust in God's protection and provision.
