We read about a reunion in Genesis today. I was blinking back tears as I read it. What do you think about this part of the story? What must have been going on in the hearts of Jacob and Esau? What happened after Esau left?
The very next part of the story turns dark in many ways. How does it affect you? What do you think of what Jacob's sons did?
Your footnotes say that "Israel" means "God fights." I think another meaning is "one who strives with God." Either way, Jacob gives us another name for God: God, the God of Israel. God reveals Himself to us through His names. I encourage you to write them down and think about them.
Matthew is literally stuffed with important truth today. Jesus once again mentions Sodom. What do you think He meant with His comparison?
How does it strike you today in Psalms, when David says...
"2 The Lord looks down from heaven
on the entire human race;
he looks to see if anyone is truly wise,
if anyone seeks God.
3 But no, all have turned away;
all have become corrupt.
No one does good,
not a single one!" (Psalm 14:2-3 NLT)
Just how important and powerful is wisdom? Read a beautiful word picture in Proverbs today.
I pray that you each grow and find personal enrichment in today's reading. Questions? Comments?
