Esau and Isaac

I was reading Genesis today and the story of these two brothers came up.
God spoke to Rebekah that “the older shall we’ve the younger” (Gen. 25:24) Rebekah willingly deceived Isaac. I was thinking about lack of faith that Rebekah had but all these are caused by Esau’s disobedient and discomfort he caused.

Gen 26:35 says Esau’s marriage made life bitter for Issac and Rebekah and 28:6-9 tells Esau married Canaanite woman to displease parents. yeah it looks like unfair love and favoritism resulted this but God spoke to me simple message again. Honor, respect, obedient, and love my parents. Blessings are coming from loving them, not being rebellious to them.
