To become wise you must seek wise counsel. What better place to start than in Proverbs?

God makes a covenant with Isaac. Isaac lies to Abimelech. Isaac digs some wells. Esau marries annoying women.

Abraham dies, we see a genealogy of the children of Ishmael, Isaac's sons are born and Esau's birthright is taken for a meal.

Wisdom is like vegetables. You don't think you need them until you start to get sick from not eating them.

It has been one year since I first started to take the podcast seriously and if you are reading this you are a committed member to the podcast. So, either text me from my phone number or message me on any of the podcast sites so that I know that you are listening.

Abraham's Servant is given the task to find Isaac a wife in the home land of Abraham. When he arrives he finds the woman he is praying to find. We also see Laban's slick ways as a young man for shadowing what he will do later on to Jacob.

In this chapter Abraham arranges his wife's funeral and buy a plot of land to bury her in.

The joy of gaining wisdom should prompt you to obey God's voice, respect Him, and to follow what he has to say in the Bible.

God test us to ensure we will follow our direction. If we follow what God has for us we will receive what we are looking for. However if we stray from the path God makes for us and assume we know what is best we will surely fail.

When you get what you are promised there is cause for rejoicing. This is the case when Isaac is born. However, when he is around 2 year old he is mocked by his older brother Ishmael. This prompts Ishmaels removal from the house of Abraham. Abimelech and Abraham make a covenant to not have strife between one another after Abimelech's servants seize one of Abraham's wells.
