Day 2 Genesis 17-28:19 (I read through 28)

What a group! Sodom and Gomorrah. Then there's Lot and his lack of faith which leads to a decision to isolate in a cave even after God saved Zoar as a safe city for him. That contributes to his daughters "stinking thinking" and their incestuous acts because they didn't trust God to bring them husbands and children. (Even after he brought them out of Sodom and Gomorrah, how limited we become when we don't look to the Lord!)

Yet there are stories of great blessing with faith. The richness of Abraham when he trusted in the Lord. The birth of Issac! The near death of Issac! The promise of more blessings as Abraham obeys his FATHER and becomes the father of a great nation. Wow!

The story of Isaac and Rebekah sounds like a Disney fairy tale. Complete with love at first sight and the birth of twins. But there is the twist of one twin plotting with his mother against the other...

Can't wait to read more!
