God gave Rebekah direction to pray for the redemption of her two sons, not to take the situation into her own hands. By doing so, she steps into God’s way, toppling the bond of trust in the family. Jacob became concerned when his mother asked him to deceive his father. He was aware of the fact a curse would plague his life. In addition, he stated, “Behold, Esau my brother is an hairy man, and I am a smooth man: My father peradventure will feel me, I will seem to him as a deceiver and I shall bring a curse upon me and not a blessing.” (Genesis 21:11 KJV) 
“Cursed be he that maketh the blind to wonder out of his way.” (Deuteronomy 17:18 KJV
“Thou shalt not cures the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear thy God: I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:14 KJV)
Rebekah continued insisting he should obey her by imitating Esau. Her reassurance to him that the curse would be upon her did not bring him comfort. She took the knowledge that God gave her abusing it.
The discernment of God is powerful. God gave Isaac discernment to protect his home. His eyes were dim; therefore, he could not rely on his own knowledge. When he heard a voice that did not agree with the facts, questions had risen in his mind. The spirit of truth rises against deception causing him to be uncomfortable. He could not understand why he had felt unsatisfied.
The danger lay ahead. Although Jacob disagreed with Rebekah’s scheme, he became a part of it, thus causing him to stray from God’s path.
When God is trying to get our attention, we will feel uncomfortable. He does not want us falling into a web of deceit. Sometimes things are not what they appear to be. Voices can bring betrayal unless we distinguish the difference between truth and lies. God gives us warning signals to protect us.
“We walk by faith and not by sight.” (I Corinthians 5:7)
God gave Isaac discernment to protect him. Truth will always excel above what we know and think.
