Genesis 32-39
What do we make of the Patriarchs? Well, for one, we should rejoice that the Lord draws straight lines with crooked sticks. Of course He does, we're all crooked sticks! But through Jacob, isaac, and the twelve sons the promises are kept. Even Judah, who is almost singled out in chapter 38. But men struggling with the vanities and difficulties of life spend each night looking at the starts. remembering the promises, and each of them recieving the promise themselves again.
Faced with my own sin, weaknesses and in capabilities, i can't help but be encouraged, not so much by the men themselves, but by the faithful God who used them.
