"But he said, 'Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.' And Esau said, 'Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now look, he has taken away my blessing!' And he said, 'Have you not reserved a blessing for me?'" Genesis 27:35:36, NKJV. #SupplantingPositions
Oftentimes in the scriptures, God's first appointment to a position, whether it be concerning marriage, kingship or discipleship, isn't always a permanent one; His first choice, usually because of sin, is sometimes 'supplanted' or replaced by another.
1 Samuel 13:13-14, Esther 1:19 and Acts 1:15-26.
