Title:  God Chooses Jacob over Esau

Passage:  Genesis 25:21–26; 27:1–29

Principle:  God sovereignly chooses whomever He wants to accomplish His purposes.

Praise:  “God Will Take Care of You”

Prompt: Ask your child these questions:
· What were the names of the twins born to Isaac and Rebekah?
· Which brother did God choose to receive the birthright?
· How did Jacob steal the inheritance?
· How was God gracious to Jacob?

Practice:  Help your child apply these truths in the following ways:
· By patiently waiting for God’s timing.
· By not committing one sin to make up for another sin.

Memory verse: 
2 year olds through kindergarten:  Ephesians 2:8a
