Genesis 24-31

What a mess. But aren't God's people a mess anyway? In the Bible we meet real people whose lives are a real mess but are met in that mess, in that sin, in that fialure, in that deceit even, by a real God. And God keeps His pormise to a messy people. He mets with Isaac and Jacb both, reminding them and re-promising them what He had said to Abraham. He was their God now.

And is my heart any less of a mess than theirs? Not a chance! But clothed with the righteousness of another today i have all i need. The Lord Jesus is filled with all the fullness of God, so i am filled with hope and a future.
