God meets us beyond the wilderness even before we're there.

Even though your blessing might seem like a curse, it's still a blessing.

God uses all things for our good.

God's promises lead the last to be first which society frowns upon but God's dreams never die.

Jacob's new name, Israel, shows God's goodness as he is propelled into a future of promise.

The story of Jacob shows the importance of persistence in moving forward towards God's promise.

God works in ways we may not expect.

God makes promises and offers provisions for those promises to come true, but sometimes, like Rebekah, we have to participate in God's plan.

Although Sarah's voice is absent in Genesis 22, her presence is felt.

God not only keeps promises but offers provisions to make them a reality.
