Near Mist Friday

returning home from a party Fri-

three deer liesurely crossed the

Pulled a Fast One
Jacob was as crooked as a dog’s
hind leg and he pulled a fast one
on his brother, Esau, and left
Esau holding the bag. At that
Esau vowed to kill Jacob who then
fled into a far country. Years
later Jacob started back home.
On the way back, there came the
night when God met him to handle
him until day-break. Out of it
Jacob the liar surrendered to God
and God then gave the man a new
name — ISRAEL—which means—
NOT MY WILL BUT GOD’S; So
Jacob the liar became ISRAEL,
living to do God’s will. See Gene­
sis Chapter 27-32.
God sees a lot of born liars like
Jacob. ONE—He sent Christ, his
only Son to die for them. Believe
