Wait and See

Jacob had developed a "wait and see" attitude toward the promises of God. He had heard the promises from his parents but he spent his time scheming to get what God had already promised. We saw it with the birthright, the wives, the children, with his father-in-law. What is wrong with hedging your bets? Why not take out a little insurance just in case God doesn't come through. But are we any different? We have all the promises of God and all we need to do is to trust Him but we too take a "wait and see" attitude. God said but we will take out a little insurance. God says trust me in this but we find a way to cover things just in case He doesn't come through.
