Donuts and Devos

Our Advent devotional series on our podcast begins with a focus on the Hope we have in the promise of the Child, the Promise of the Messiah.

God appeared to His people in different ways. By appearing to Jacob in a dream, He was able to talk to him, and more importantly, bless Jacob Himself and once again, renewed His covenant that had now been passed down from Abraham to Jacob.

Jacob was a trickster - he tricked Esau out of not only his birthright, but his father Isaac’s blessing as well! But it all went according to God’s plan, despite the sinful nature of men! We begin Season 3 with Isaac blessing Jacob once again with the blessing of Abraham, and we learn how this blessing shapes the rest of Jacob's life.

We have finished Season 2 on Donuts and Devos, the best kid's devotional podcast (we pray!). We look back over our time spent studying Abraham, God's promises to him, and the beginning of his family.

Our devotion will have a quick recap over our devotional stories, followed by our musical segment, the "Donut Mixer", where we will review all our Memory Verses this season. We will then put our listeners Bible knowledge to the test with our "Roasting Seat" game to help them remember what we've learned. Make sure you grab all the coloring pages, Bible Memory Verse sheets, and "Roasting Seat" game questions: http://donutsanddevos.com/season-2-recap-the-time-of-abraham-coloring-pages-activity-sheets-ep-023/ .

The blessing Isaac was to give his eldest son, Esau, was very much desired by all members of the family - for very different reasons! We explore why Rebekah and Jacob resorted to trickery and deception to receive this blessing...and how God is able to work through sinners for His glory!

Fighting from even before they were born, Jacob and Esau are described as complete opposites and neither was worthy of God's grace and favor. In our devotion this week, we look at how God's prophetic words to Rebekah was a foreshadowing of our own "right" to our inheritance into God's family. His gift of salvation is given to us freely by His grace and mercy and NOT by anything we sinners have done!

Abraham's servant traveled about 600 miles to find a wife from Abraham's homeland and family. The servant prayed and trusted God to show him who God had chosen as Isaac's wife - and God gave him success! This unique marriage demonstrates the faithfulness of God's people and more importantly, God's faithfulness and love!
