Bible Bits: January 9th


Bible Reading: Genesis 25:27-28:5

Lessons from Esau's Life:
  • God allows certain events in our lives to happen to accomplish his overall purposes, but we are still responsible for our actions.
  • Consequences are important to consider.
Lessons from Jacob's Life:
  • Security does not lie in the accumulation of goods.
  • All human intentions and actions for good or evil-- are woven by God into His ongoing plan.
Daily Tidbits:
There are always consequences to our deceitfulness even if we get what we wanted. (Gen. 27:24)

 
 
Jesus Calling Gems:
"I am with you and for you, when you decide on a course of action that is in line with My will, nothing in heaven or on earth can stop you...Do not expect an easy path as you journey and and hand with Me, but do remember that I, your very present Helper am omnipotent.  Much, much stress results from your wanting to make things happen before their times have come. One of the main ways I assert My sovereignty is inthe timing of events. If you want to stay close to Me and do things My way, ask Me to show you the path forward moment by moment."
