June 14, 2023 June 14 – Genesis 29:1-14
This is such a sweet encounter. Jacob was in a
foreign land, looking for relatives that he did not know. Again, God directed
his path and Jacob was pleased to meet his uncle and cousin.
He would soon learn that the manipulations of
his mother would pale in comparison to those of his uncle. Jacob was not
without blame. He had been deceptive with his brother, greedy in receiving his
brother’s blessing and because of these actions, there was discord in his
family.
Jacob had yet to learn that relying on God, instead
of manipulating situations, would allow him a much more peaceful existence.
What kind of seeds are we sowing as we walk in
this world?
How about if we all stopped trying to
manipulate situations and simply waited on God?

Wow! God appears to Jacob in a dream. This
encounter allows Jacob to gain a personal knowledge of God and gives us the
famous “Jacobs ladder”.
Notice the condition Jacob places on his
relationship with God. “If God…”, which appears in verse 20, says so much about
the spiritual maturity of Jacob. IF God met these conditions, Jacob would
follow God.
Do you find ourselves in a similar situation?
Is it all about what God can do for you rather than you can do for God or what
God wants from you?
Spend some time pondering your relationship
with God and ask Him to help you search your heart and whether you are seeking
the kind of relationship with God that allows you to increase your spiritual
maturity and walk closer with Him daily.

Once again, we see that Rebekah manipulated the
situation by insisting that Jacob leave the country and go find a bride in
Haran. She did not come clean with her husband about the difficulties of their sons’
relationship and Jacob’s lies.
Jacob did not realize that God was with him,
but God continued to protect Jacob regardless of his faults.
This is such good news as God is with us daily
as well.
Think about your daily walk with the Lord. Have
there been times that you struggled, fell short or felt ashamed by your own
behavior?
How has God brought you comfort?
How has our God gotten your attention? Through
His word, through a song, or maybe a preacher’s sermon?
Rest assured God loves you and is waiting for
you to run into His open arms.

June 11, 2023 June 11 – Genesis 27:41-46
This scripture really shows us the sin-filled
hearts of humans. Rebekah used her own flesh and blood to get her way.
Think about families and the anger, resentment,
hurt and perhaps withdrawal that can occur in our families today.
If you feel you have been wronged by a family
member, is God calling you to forgive and reach out to this person so that the
family unit can be made whole once again?
Perhaps this can become a prayer concern for
you.

Isaac’s blessing had been given away to an
imposture. As you read, think about the
heartbreak that occurred.
Describe the happenings that occurred in these
scriptures.
What were Isaac’s reactions when he learned he
had been tricked by his own son?
What did Esau ask of his father? What was
Isaac’s response and how did he describe Esau’s future?
Does this leave you pondering how Rebekah felt
after this occurrence. One son’s victory
defeated her firstborn son. It’s
difficult to understand yet selfishness and greed causes us to do things we
often regret.
Dear Lord, please help us to be ever diligent
as we live out our temporary lives here on earth. Help us to call upon you and rebuke the devil
as he seeks to destroy our families and us.
We look at the world around us and realize that we are in the midst of a
world that sees the decline of the present family and its values. Now more than ever, help us to be steadfast,
faithful, bold and stand strong for You as we share Your Word and witness to a
broken world around us. Bless us, O God!

The deception continues in these verses. As you read and study today’s verses, pray
that wrongs or deceptions in your life may be resolved through truth.
When presented the dish requested, what were
Isaac’s concerns?
How were Isaac’s reservations fulfilled
regarding whether this was Esau that granted his wish?
Isaac did end up giving his blessing to the
imposture Jacob. What did the blessing
involve?
God’s love and blessings are bountiful. He shows no favoritism but loves us all. He died for you and me that we may have
eternal life once we accept Him as our Lord and Savior. He did this for all but would have done it
for only you or me. Thank You, Lord,
that we are enough and worthy in your amazing eyes.

This passage of scripture reminds
us of the servant praying specifically and urgently. He recognized his prayer was answered before
he even finished praying. He then takes
time to give thanks to the Lord God. How
often do we pray with great anticipation, laying our specific requests at the
feet of our Heavenly Father? When the
prayer is answered, some might think it’s a coincidence, while in fact it is a
direct and immediate answer to our prayer.
Thank You Lord for answering prayer.
What did Rebekah’s
brother, Laban, immediately notice upon seeing Abraham’s servant and Rebekah?
What was indicated by his
observation?
What was the servant’s
prayer?
Why was the servant
treated with such hospitality?
Abraham had given specific
instructions that Isaac’s wife not be a Canaanite, but the from Abraham’s
father’s land and his clan. Why was this
so important?
How did Abraham reassure
the servant’s uncertainties regarding the success of his task?
6 min
June 08, 2023 June 2 – Genesis 24:50-61
Abraham’s servant shows
faithfulness and gratitude as we find him once again giving thanks to God in
these scriptures.
Why did Rebekah’s family
trust the servant?
Why do you think Rebekah’s
family asked that she be allowed to stay 10 days before leaving with Abraham’s
servant?
During a period of time
when women’s opinions were not taken into consideration, what do you find
interesting about them asking Rebekah her thoughts of staying or leaving
immediately?
Why do you think she went
willingly with the servant?
What is revealed about
Rebekah’s character in these scriptures?
5 min
June 08, 2023 June 3 – Genesis 24:62-67
These scriptures certainly reassure us of a
love story unfolding. Reread this short
passage again before answering these questions.
Verse 63 mentions that Isaac went into the
fields to meditate in the early evening.
What do you think his meditations included?
Why do you think Rebekah covered herself when
she learned it was her husband to be coming to meet them?
The scripture mentions that Isaac was comforted
by Rebekah and loved her. What
explanation do you have for this love and bond when Rebekah and Isaac had just
met?

Even thousands of years ago sibling rivalry,
birthrights, favoritism, and deception was present. We see it in these scriptures once
again.
What did Isaac request of Esau in these
scriptures and why?
Is there anything in these scriptures that
might change your first impressions of Rebekah’s character?
Favoritism can exist in families between
siblings and parents. We see an example
in these scriptures. What was Rebekah’s fear
in these scriptures and why?
Why was Isaac’s blessing so important to Esau
and Jacob?
These parents were looking at their “favorite”
to receive the birthright which rightfully belonged to Esau, although he sold
it to Jacob for a bowl of stew.
What does God look at when He gives us our
inheritance?
What is our inheritance?
