Once again... I am so scattered --- let me see now... some may be short because I have read the chapters & am going back to write a discussion... So you may have to drag the Bible back out!
Chapter 20: Abraham & Sara were human too! Little liars! Even though it was a little white lie based on verse 12. Yes even those little white lies can get you into trouble Stephanie!! Look at how great God is in Verse 6 as he talks to the king- "I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her." Have you ever almost done something and the Spirit withheld you - later to find out you would have REALLY messed up! I am SOOO thankful and dependent on the Spirit! If we have done wrong, he always shows us the path to correct it like in verse 7! Sometimes it is hard to swallow but we have to follow God!
Chapter 21: verse 8 - A great feast! I'm gonna throw a feast when Ashlyn FINALLY figures out she has beened weaned!! I'm gonna invite you all... LOL! Verse 9 - See why you should only have one wife guys?? Women cannot live together - especially if they have "known" the sam man, much less had kids with him!! Verse 19 - God will provide - - just open your eyes!! Verse 26: Someone does something to you & they are unaware...How do you react? Like they knew?? I recently went through this.... One of my very best friends hadn't spoken to me at church unless she had to. Well I have drove myself crazy trying to figure out what I did!! What could I have possibly done?? Well I didn't get around to talking to her the next Sunday...so I still wandered! Then last night I asked her if she was upset with me. She said "NO - I just knew you have been busy!" So I had made that a big deal myself - but I sure was glad I had not goofed up that fantastic friendship! What if I have not asked & just ASSUMED that we were suppose to be quarrelling! What would I have missed???
Chapter 22: The Offering of Issaac - God will provide! - - This was Chad's 3rd message! What a wonderful story about Jesus!! In verse 6 - "And Abraham took the wood of the burnt-offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son.." WOW! Do you know who else was a Sacrifice and had to tote a wooden cross on his back?? Jesus! God provided a lamb - the Lamb of God! Wooo...now that is something to shout about!
Chapter 23: The death of Sarah - nothing really jumped out at me about this chapter...guess the next time I read it - God will show me something. I cannot wait to hear what you all have to say about it.
Chapter 24: A Bride for Issac - Rebekah! The servent said a prayer & wanted a sign - God answers prayers!
Chapter 25: The death of Abraham - Ishmael and Issacs generations. - - Two nations are in Rebekah's womb. Verse 27-34 tells how Esau gave up his birthright for a bowl of pottage --- gave it up for worldly goods! Gave it up for something that would satisfy him at the moment. How many people do you know that give up their "Godly Birthright" of Salvation for worldly things that only satisfy for that moment?? We need to pray for the lost and tell them about Jesus!
Chapter 26: The apple didn't fall far from the tree did it? Isaac says that Rebekah is his sister! I bet King Abimelech was shaking his head! Verse 24 - - FEAR NOT FOR GOD IS WITH YOU TOO!
Chapter 27: The stolen blessing - Rebekah & Jacob were a sneaky little pair weren't they?? Esau must have looked like that dude from the Geico commercials... the caveman!
Chapter 28: Doesn't Esau act just like us in verse 9 - - or at least like our kids! He would show them by disobeying!!!
Chapter 29: Jacob really loved Rachel - - I don't know of anyone that I would work that hard for! Rachel must have been one hot mama!!
Chapter 30: Once again guys - - don't have more than one wife!!! We are some crazy ladies when it comes to impressing the men... come on enough with the babies!!! And everyone being in the same tent!!
Chapter 31: Jacob got him back. - - I didn't think about the monthly girl thing like in verse 35 - she must have been bold. I don't see how they had time to have a period when they were pregnant all the time to impress the menfolk!
