Hey! I’m new here!

I have read the chapters each day but this is the first day in a week I read the digging deeper part and wow!!! Families have been dysfunctional since the beginning!! A soap opera of sorts. I liked this part of digging deeper:

Rebekah successfully manipulated Isaac into telling Jacob to leave. This saved his life, but it is likely that this mother never saw her son again.

i. “Rebekah’s diplomatic victory was complete; but she would never see her son again.” (Kidner)

ii. In this tragic story, everyone lost. Each of the main characters – Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob – schemed and maneuvered in human wisdom and energy, rejecting God’s word and wisdom. Nevertheless, God still accomplished His purpose. The tragedy was that each of the participants suffered, because they insisted on working against God’s word and wisdom

God’s plan of course still came through but how many…

Genesis 28:16 & 17

When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.” He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”

Reminds me of the praise song

Hello, so thankful I found this group. It is so great to have a group of ladies to read God’s word with. One of my many favorite verses is

Philippians 4:19 — and my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory forever and ever. Amen

One of my favorite praise songs is
