Yesterday in class, we talked about good small group resources. A Bible study with the above title came up. It's about Adam, Abraham & Sarah, and Jacob. For being such a man of power, Isaac hardly has a personality in Scripture. God is referred to as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob from this point on. I have come to the conclusion that God blesses the faithful with daily bread for all, no matter how screwed up and sinful we are or how messed up our families seem to be.
The events of Genesis 27 almost needed to happen, due to what was proclaimed about the twins at their birth. I fall back on my life verse, Romans 8:28, "All things work together for good for those who love the Lord, who are called according to his purpose."
We have all been called together for something incredible. I will be sending my notes from this class on to our 20 leaders (the chair and secretary for each team). Many of you are reading along or blogging daily. Thank you. Please pray through the notes and be inspired for what God is doing in our midst at Faith. Then put your seat belt on. God is going to use us in mighty ways, as messed up as we are.
Here's how I do the blessing of children at communion and the benediction:
The Lord bless you and keep you in his grace forever
The Lord bless you and keep you
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you
The Lord look upon you will favor and give you peace
Ya sure, you betcha!
