Who do we please?:

The dreaded meeting of Jacob and Esau turned out good. Esau tells his brother Jacob to follow him to his land in Seir, Jacob replies that you go ahead and we will catch up with you.

Gen 33:12  And he said, Let us take our journey, and let us go, and I will go before thee. 
Gen 33:13  And he said unto him, My lord knoweth that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds with young are with me: and if men should overdrive them one day, all the flock will die. 
Gen 33:14  Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir. 
Gen 33:15  And Esau said, Let me now leave with thee some of the folk that are with me. And he said, What needeth it? let me find grace in the sight of my lord. 
Gen 33:16  So Esau returned that day on his way unto Seir. 

The land of Seir is on a mountain between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, south east of the land that was promised to Israel. Jacob instead, journeyed to Shechem that was in the center of what is now Israel.

Gen 33:17  And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built him an house, and made booths for his cattle: therefore the name of the place is called Succoth. 
Gen 33:18  And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. 
Gen 33:19  And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money. 
Gen 33:20  And he erected there an altar, and called it Elelohe-Israel. ("the mighty God of Israel")

Jacob was the inheritor of the promises of God concerning a promised land. He returned to this place willed to him by the promise of God to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Once again he had deceived his brother Esau, but he was where he was supposed to be.  Following Esau away from God's promise was not in the plan of God for him.  Sometimes we must make difficult decisions. We may be tempted to go outside of God's plan  in order to please someone else, but that is not wise. Our blessings come from obeying God. Did Jacob sin by lying to Esau?  I think that any decision we make should be brought to the LORD. He may change our direction. He may speak to us in a dream or even words of an angel. We should take all of our decisions to the LORD for His final approval. We must listen and follow the LORD who gives us peace.
