Join Pastor George Binoka for Day 12 of Devotions at Berean Baptist Church in San Tan Valley, Arizona. This series continues to guide believers in daily Bible reading and prayer through a 5-day plan to read the Bible in 2026, fostering a closer walk with Jesus. In this episode, Pastor George delves into the ongoing dysfunction in Jacob's family from Genesis 30-31, including Rachel's envy leading to rivalry and the use of handmaids for children, the birth of Joseph, Jacob's conflicts with controlling Laban, Rachel's deception with idols, and the establishment of God-moderated boundaries. He connects this to Psalm 11's theme of trusting God for justice amid right and wrong, and Mark 12's parable of the vineyard critiquing the Pharisees, their attempts to trap Jesus on taxes, His call to render to Caesar and God accordingly, and warnings against hypocrisy. Wrapping up with a prayer against manipulation, hypocrisy, and pride, while seeking wisdom, justice, and a generous heart like the widow's mite, this episode urges listeners to prioritize spiritual integrity and trust in God's oversight.
