"And it came to pass a long time after that the Lord had given rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed old and stricken in age. And Joshua called for all Israel, and for their elders, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers, and said unto them, I am old and stricken in age: And ye have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the Lord your God is he that hath fought for you. Behold, I have divided unto you by lot these nations that remain, to be an inheritance for your tribes, from Jordan, with all the nations that I have cut off, even unto the great sea westward. And the Lord your God, he shall expel them from before you, and drive them from out of your sight; and ye shall possess their land, as the Lordyour God hath promised unto you. Be ye therefore very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left; That ye come not among these nations, these that remain among you; neither make mention of the name of their gods, nor cause to swear by them, neither serve them, nor bow yourselves unto them: But cleave unto the Lord your God, as ye have done unto this day. For the Lord hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day. One man of you shall chase a thousand: for the Lord your God, he it is that fighteth for you, as he hath promised you. Take good heed therefore unto yourselves, that ye love the Lord your God. Else if ye do in any wise go back, and cleave unto the remnant of these nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them, and they to you: Know for a certainty that the Lord your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. And, behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth: and ye know in all your hearts and in all your souls, that not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the Lord your God spake concerning you; all are come to pass unto you, and not one thing hath failed thereof.Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all good things are come upon you, which the Lord your God promised you; so shall the Lord bring upon you all evil things, until he have destroyed you from off this good land which the Lord your God hath given you. When ye have transgressed the covenant of the Lord your God, which he commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them; then shall the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and ye shall perish quickly from off the good land which he hath given unto you.24 And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, and called for the elders of Israel, and for their heads, and for their judges, and for their officers; and they presented themselves before God. And Joshua said unto all the people, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Your fathers dwelt on the other side of the flood in old time, even Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor: and they served other gods. And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the flood, and led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed, and gave him Isaac.And I gave unto Isaac Jacob and Esau: and I gave unto Esau mount Seir, to possess it; but Jacob and his children went down into Egypt. I sent Moses also and Aaron, and I plagued Egypt, according to that which I did among them: and afterward I brought you out.And I brought your fathers out of Egypt: and ye came unto the sea; and the Egyptians pursued after your fathers with chariots and horsemen unto the Red sea." Joshua 23-24:6

This powerful message takes us deep into the story of Esau and Jacob from Genesis 25, revealing a sobering truth about how our uncontrolled appetites can cost us everything we hold dear. We discover that Esau traded his birthright—his inheritance, leadership, and God's best plan for his life—for a simple bowl of stew in a moment of hunger. This ancient story becomes a mirror for our modern struggles, whether with pornography, alcohol, financial decisions, or emotional affairs. The sermon brilliantly connects the concept of the seven deadly sins to our God-given desires that, when left unchecked, become destructive forces. We learn that appetites for significance, provision, intimacy, and rest are all gifts from God, but without proper boundaries, they morph into pride, greed, lust, and sloth. The message doesn't leave us without hope, though. We're reminded that while sin always carries consequences and we may lose something we can never fully regain, God is still the God of second chances. Through the power of the Holy Spirit living within us, we can resist the temporary satisfaction of our 'bowl of stew' and hold onto the birthright God has planned for our lives.

Esau hates Jacob because of the stolen blessing, and Esau resolves to kill his brother after his father has died. Rebekah recognizes that sending Jacob to her brother Laban can solve two problems at once. Jacob will be shielded from Esau's hatred, and Jacob will be able to find a godly wife. Jacob departs with his father's blessing, while Esau remains and marries an Ishmaelite in an effort to mollify Isaac and Rebecca.  Rev.

Scripture: Obadiah 1-4Title: Rise Up! SHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, please visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.God's desire is for His followers to trust Him and live humbly with others. Love God. Love others. Today's Bible lesson focuses on pride, including personal pride and the arrogant pride of a nation that believes it is invincible.Obadiah is the shortest book (a single chapter) in the Hebrew Bible, located between Amos and Jonah. This book is a powerful oracle that highlights God's judgment against Edom (the descendants of Esau) for their pride and betrayal of Judah.Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom:We have heard a report from the LORD,and a messenger has been sent among the nations:“Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!”Obadiah 1A struggle that started in the womb between twin brothers, Esau and Jacob, leads to a conflict between their descendants, the Edomites and the Israelites. Because the Edomites stubbornly refuse to help Israel, first during their wilderness wanderings (Nm 20:14-21) and later during an invasion, they are strongly condemned by Obadiah. This little-known prophet describes their crimes, reviews their case, and declares their judgment: TOTAL DESTRUCTION.After her enemies invaded Judah, the Edomites celebrated and mocked her suffering. Because they lived in seemingly undefeatable cities carved out of rock cliffs—like those seen today in Petra—they confidently believed nothing could harm them. However, as Obadiah would reveal, they were wrong.Head to Heart: The Almighty Lord is sovereign and rules over all nations, not just Israel. He is the Righteous Judge and will deliver judgment on all people with equity and fairness.Song: Rise Up - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPkWeyUatq4&list=RDXPkWeyUatq4&start_radio=1

(46:55) - Question about Jacob, Esau and the 'blessing'?

The ploy of Rebekah and Jacob works to fool Isaac, who is convinced that his son Esau has come near by the smell of the garments. The blessing that Isaac gives is more than a wish, but the effective Word of God that accomplishes what He says. The line of the promised Christ will truly go through Jacob. When Esau returns, both he and his father realize the deception, but the blessing given to Jacob cannot be taken away. Although Isaac's words declare that Esau will serve his younger brother, the goodness of God remains for Esau if he will only believe the LORD's promise of the Christ. Rev.

“Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.” — Genesis 32:28 Jacob was a schemer. It came naturally. His mother was a schemer, and so was his father (see Genesis 26-27). Scheming was part of the family DNA.Jacob was returning home and wondering what kind of reception he would have from his brother, Esau, whom he had schemed against many years earlier (Genesis 27).But then one night when Jacob was all alone, he faced the one who could not be outwitted. Jacob wrestled that night with God.We might think of this wrestling with God as being for one night, but wasn't it more like for a lifetime? Jacob had wrestled through lots of situations in his life, all of which were in the hands of God. For example, Esau, his elder brother, was the favored son of his father, and Jacob dealt with that by scheming. Jacob also wrestled with finding love and wondering if he could ever return home.We might think of wrestling with God as the opposite of seeking to know and learn from God, but in this case the wrestling became a pathway to a new life signified by a new name. Jacob, now known as Israel, would go through life limping because of that night, but he would have in that limp a sign that God had come to him and blessed him as he faced an uncertain future.God showed up even for a schemer like Jacob. Lord, thank you for being willing to wrestle with Jacob. We can see you are willing to wrestle with us too. Give us what we need in order to follow you. Amen.

Who Was Jacob? #1 A Mess of PotageGenesis 25:19-34Let's learn about Jacob. Jacob is the third of the three great Old Testament Patriarchs. - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - and the story of his life takes up a vast amount of ink on the pages of Genesis. We shall look at his life over two episodes, but even then we will only skim the surface of the narrative. In this lesson, we'll briefly see the circumstances of his birth, his relationship with Esau and the ‘mess of potage.'

When Isaac's age had led to near blindness, he desired to give his blessing to his favorite son, Esau, despite what the LORD had said when the twins were in the womb. Rebekah overheard her husband's plan and worked with her favorite son, Jacob, to secure the blessing for him instead. Rebekah prepared food like Esau would have and clothed Jacob with Esau's clothing. Isaac's poor eyesight prevented him from seeing the truth, and he prepared to give the blessing to the son dressed as Esau. Though deception was involved in Genesis 27, the story provides a picture of what God does for us with no deception as He clothes us with the righteousness of Christ in Holy Baptism so that we receive His blessing.  Rev.

Text:  Genesis 28:1-22   God's Covenant Blessing is Confirmed (Gen. 28:1-9) Isaac pronounces God's covenant blessing on Jacob, proving his trust in God's Word has been restored. Esau attempts to gain God's covenant blessing in the wrong way.   God's Gracious Presence is Revealed (Gen. 28:10-15) God reveals Himself to Jacob in a dream of a stairway to heaven, where He condescends in grace. God is laying the foundation for Jacob's faith in the future.   Jacob's Response to God is Expressed (Gen. 28:16-22) Jacob responds in fear and awe before God's presence. Jacob names the place Bethel, or "house of God." Jacob makes a conditional vow before God and asks Him to be faithful to him.

Genesis 33 recounts Jacob's tense reunion with Esau—once a brother, now presumed enemy. Expecting hostility, Jacob approaches with humility, caution, and a heart ready for reconciliation. Instead of conflict, Esau greets him with unexpected grace. The chapter becomes a powerful reminder that when facing those we fear or have wronged, courage, humility, and openness can transform enemies into restored relationships. -Do you want to be an active member of 21c Moses?

The ancient Israelites experienced spiritual apathy after returning from exile, feeling like God had gone silent despite their expectations of blessing. When they demanded proof of His love, God reminded them through the prophet Malachi that His love is unaltered and continuous, demonstrated through His sovereign choice of Jacob over Esau. This choice wasn't based on merit but on grace, showing that none of us deserve God's love apart from His choosing. To combat spiritual indifference, we must keep God's love central, avoid self-absorption, resist using comfort as a measure of God's presence, and let His sovereign election motivate rather than paralyze us.

Daily Word Malachi delivers God's message to Israel during a time when the people had returned from exile, the temple had been rebuilt, but they were still living under foreign rule and had grown spiritually skeptical. Through a dialogue, God declares His love for Israel, yet the people question how He has shown it. God points to His choice of Jacob over Esau as evidence of His covenant love and faithfulness, demonstrating that He raised Israel while bringing down Edom. Even if Edom attempts to rebuild, God declares their efforts will not stand, showing His sovereign authority and enduring commitment to His people. The passage challenges believers to reflect on whether they, like Israel, sometimes doubt or question God's love despite the evidence of His faithfulness. __________ Malachi 1:1-5 __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Rebekah had received a revelation that the older would serve the younger, and she took matters into her own hands to make that happen. It worked, and Jacob was blessed. Unfortunately, Jacob also had to run for his life from Esau. He was sent to his uncle's house far away to keep him safe. It had been prophesied that the younger would rule over the older, but there was also some favoritism going on. The bible literally tells us that Isaac loved Esau and Rebekah loved Jacob. Rebekah went above and beyond to make sure Jacob came out on top. Unfortunately, the opposite seemed to occur. Rather than ruling over his father's house, Jacob ended up exiled. He was anything but a ruler for a very long time. Jacob's uncle tricked him, and Jacob had very little power to protect himself. His wages were unfairly changed up on him. He was separated from his family, not a ruler of his family. When Rebekah sent Jacob away to live with her brother, I wonder if she regretted what she did. When she was separated from Jacob, did she wish she could do things differently? I wonder if she asked herself whether she had made a mistake and ruined everything. I don't know about Rebekah, but I think I would have had those feelings. I wonder if Jacob ever felt a little bitter. I wonder if he was angry that the ruse had upended his life so thoroughly and ironically did the opposite of what it was supposed to be. Did he regret listening to his mother and tricking his father? Did he feel that everything was ruined? Have you ever wondered if you ruined things too much? I'm not just talking about sinning so deeply that the atonement of Jesus Christ can't reach you. I'm also talking about mistakes or sins that seemingly messed up what we believed we were supposed to become. Maybe there was a promise in your patriarchal blessing, a revelation that you felt strongly about that seems to have fallen flat, or a direction you never anticipated your life taking that led to heartache rather than increased ability to go out and serve. One of the beautiful things about this story is the fact that the Lord can lead you there and make things come together even after mistakes and pitfalls and detours and even sin. Rebekah and Jacob tricked Isaac. They deceived him, and they did so in the name of a revelation given to Rebekah by the Lord. And honestly, I don't know if that makes it better or worse. I guess she was trying really hard to follow the revelation, but we also need to be supremely careful about doing wrong things in the name of getting to the “right” destination. As in, we shouldn't need to do wrong things in the name of getting to the right destination. I digress. They sinned. They weren't evil people, but they did sin. And yet, despite this sin and interference, the Lord still helped them get where they needed to be. Jacob prospered and returned home and reconciled with his family. Esau likewise prospered independently. Esau's descendants ended up serving Jacob's descendants (Edom and Israel). Things turned out how they were supposed to, and no damage was permanent. When I was dating Conner, I was very confused. We were really struggling. That era of our lives was very dark for both of us. I really don't understand how we ended up together, but we did. In the middle of all that difficulty, I had people telling me that I could miss out on the man God had prepared for me if I kept wasting time with Conner. This became a legitimate fear of mine. I was so afraid God would be angry with me for being confused and not being able to find my way. I would break up with him, and I felt led back to him but then things were so hard and very few people (I think 4 people total and even that was iffy) supported us being together. I was afraid that I would miss out on what was supposed to be mine because I wasn't good enough to figure out what I was supposed to be doing. In the midst of all this, I had a dear friend who was so faithful and trusting. She had dated her boyfriend on and off for years. It had stretched on and on, and they finally reached a point where they truly broke up. I remember asking her the questions that were pressing on me. I asked her if she was afraid that she had missed out on someone she could have married because she was so distracted with this other guy. Her response was simple and profound. She wasn't worried at all. She didn't believe in a God like that, a God who would punish her for not knowing immediately. She was trying the best she could with what she had, even if it wasn't perfect, and she believed that God would honor that and help her along. If your heart is turned towards God and trying to follow Him, you don't need to fear. He can lead you along. Even if you make mistakes along the way, even if you end up on roads you never pictured yourself on, He can lead you back to where you need to be. I remember another time in college. They had just changed the missionary age, and I was suddenly able to serve. I had wanted to serve a mission my whole life, but in that moment, I shied away from it. I found myself in a bit of trouble. I was very mentally sick. I had taken a break from classes to pursue a music career. I had a couple of friends who didn't let me totally lose myself, but I wasn't headed in the direction I needed to be going. I was pretty adrift and lost, and though not all of it was my fault, some of it was a direct result of my own naive or selfish choices. I remember sitting on my bed one night, knowing that I wasn't where I needed to be. I didn't kneel down or fold my arms. I didn't open or close the prayer. I just quietly whispered, “If You could get me out of this, I would appreciate it.” And He did. Very shortly after, I found myself on a plane home to Texas where I had grown up. One thing led to another and I found myself serving in Indiana, right where I needed to be. It didn't matter to Him that I had taken myself all over the map. The detours and “lost” time ultimately meant nothing. I ended up right where I needed to be. I didn't truly lose anything. There was difficulty and regrets, but there wasn't anything that couldn't be salvaged through the power of the atonement of Jesus Christ. I have a feeling that if Rebekah and Jacob could have seen the exile they were setting into motion, they wouldn't have done what they did. I have a feeling that there was some real introspection going on after everything went down. There were detours and difficulties on account of their own choices, but the Lord never lost sight of them. I testify that He never loses sight of you. He is leading you along even if you don't know it. I testify that He can take the worst parts and mistakes and turn them into good. I testify that all roads can lead home if we apply the atonement of Jesus Christ. Autumn Dickson was born and raised in a small town in Texas.

When a famine arose in the days of Isaac, the LORD specifically told Isaac not to go to Egypt. The LORD strengthened Isaac's faith by repeating the promise first given to Abraham. Nonetheless, as Isaac sojourned in the land of Abimelech, he repeated his father's deception of saying his wife was only his sister. Still, the LORD kept His promise to bless Isaac as he went in and out among the Philistines and felt their enmity toward him. Even as Isaac experienced the LORD's goodness temporally and spiritually, Isaac also experienced grief from his oldest son Esau, who married two pagan wives.  Rev.

Is your family tree a bit... messy? If you feel like your life is full of sibling rivalry, deception, or "unanswered" prayers, you are in good company. From the tents of Isaac and Rebekah to the wrestling match at Peniel, the story of Jacob proves that God doesn't call perfect people—He transforms people who are willing to hold on until they receive a blessing. Summary: In this massive study of Genesis 24–36, we follow the Covenant through three generations of trials, travels, and transformations. We look past the "Sunday School" versions of these stories to see the grit and grace required to stay on the Covenant Path. Finding Rebekah: We analyze the decisiveness of Rebekah in Genesis 24—a woman who was willing to leave everything she knew for a promise she hadn't seen yet. The Birthright Conflict: We dive into the controversial "deception" of Isaac. Was it a trick, or was Rebekah ensuring God's will was done? We explore the heavy price of prioritizing the temporal over the eternal. Jacob's Ladder: We break down the symbolism of the "stairway to heaven" at Bethel and how Jacob turned a cold stone pillow into a temple-like encounter with the Divine. Leah and Rachel: We discuss the years of labor and the "comparative" heartbreak of Leah and Rachel, seeing how God remembers those who feel unloved. Wrestling with God: We finish with the most pivotal moment in Jacob's life—his night-long wrestle. We learn that "Israel" means "Let God Prevail" and discover how we can also prevail through our trials. Call-to-Action: Jacob had to return to "Bethel" to find his way again. Where is your "Bethel"? Where do you go when you need to remember your covenants? Let's discuss in the comments!

Rebekah's barrenness proved to be as small an obstacle to the power of God's promise as Sarah's barrenness had been. The LORD answered Isaac's prayer and granted twins. When Rebekah inquired of the LORD as to their struggle inside her womb, the LORD revealed that the two brothers and their descendants would struggle against each other throughout their lives, with the older serving the younger. Their names, Esau and Jacob, reveal something about their character. When they were older, Esau's despising of his birthright led him to sell it for nothing more than a pot of stew.  Rev.

Scripture: Genesis 17:3-16 / ObadiahTitle: God's Everlasting CovenantSHOW NOTES: For encouragement on your spiritual journey, we invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth, where you can access additional resources to enrich your Walk with God.Today, we begin a new series on the podcast, Season #21 – Hope & Promise: The book of Obadiah. It's a short prophetic book in the Old Testament, located between Amos and Jonah.What is the message, and how does it relate to us today? To understand the book of Obadiah, let's go back in history… all the way to Genesis.God called Abram out of the distant land of Haran and promised that he would become a great nation. This was an everlasting covenant between God and Abraham and his future descendants.“I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.”Genesis 17:7-8Abram's name was changed to Abraham, and his wife Sarai's name was changed to Sarah. Isaac was born when they were both old. Isaac married Rebekah and was 60 years old when they welcomed twin boys.The rivalry between these two brothers—Jacob and Esau—began in their mother's womb and lasted for many generations. Jacob's name was changed to Israel, and Esau's name was changed to Edom. Song: The Everlasting Love of God - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KaTKSQ1-fh8&list=RDKaTKSQ1-fh8&start_radio=1

Feeling Alone? Trust Him. by Autumn Dickson The Old Testament is full of imperfect people. There is strife and difficulty. Families struggle together. We see people who are trying to follow God, sometimes in desperation, and they make mistakes along the way. We see a whole spectrum of human emotion. It makes me wonder how much we're missing in the New Testament. We often tease about how the Old Testament and New Testament are so different, but are they truly? Or were they just written differently? Perhaps the curtain just gets peeled back a tad bit more with the Old Testament and we get to see the bad along with the good. This week, we read about some of those imperfect people, and there is much to learn from them. We can learn from their mistakes in our own quest to follow after God. We can learn to watch our own predilections and flaws and hopefully avoid some of their same obstacles. I want to look at Jacob and Rebekah specifically. It took a while for Rebekah to get pregnant, but when she did, she got pregnant with twins. They wrestled within her and caused her to ask the Lord what was going on. He spoke to Rebekah (likely through the Spirit) and told her that from the two brothers, two nations would be formed. It was also prophesied that the older would serve the younger. Esau was born first and was Isaac's favorite, and Jacob was born second and was Rebekah's favorite. Rebekah had received a revelation that Esau would serve Jacob, but she took matters into her own hands. Isaac spoke to Esau and told him to prepare a dinner so that Esau could be blessed. Rebekah pushes and convinces Jacob to trick his father. This is what she tells Jacob. Genesis 27:8-10 8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee. 9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth: 10 And thou shalt bring it to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death. She convinces Jacob to pretend to be Esau. Isaac is blind, and so the idea is that Isaac will give Esau's blessing to Jacob. She takes the ruse even further by placing the hairy skins upon Jacob to further trick Isaac into thinking that Jacob is Esau (since Esau is hairy and Jacob isn't). Her ruse works. Isaac is tricked and gives the birthright blessing to Jacob rather than Esau. Esau comes home and is bitter and upset about what happened. He mourns his father but promises to kill Jacob when the mourning is over. Rebekah sends Jacob far away to her brother, Laban. Jacob's life isn't made easier after this. He has been separated from his family. He starts working for his uncle and is tricked more than once. His uncle likewise changes his wages unjustly multiple times. The Lord calls upon Jacob to take his large family back home to where Esau is and Jacob fears his uncle and cousins enough that he tries to do it secretly. It's a long story, but I told the whole thing because the context is key in order to understand the principle I want to teach. I'll shorten it to these four details. God whispers to Rebekah. Rebekah takes matters into her own hands, and Jacob listens. Jacob finds himself exiled. Now the fraud and sin are not upon the head of Jacob alone. Rebekah pushed for this pretty hard; Jacob gave in and listened and did as his mother bade him. Both of them found themselves with poignant parallels. When we don't trust the Lord, we can find ourselves separated from family. Let me explain what I mean. I don't necessarily mean that the Lord is going to exile you. I'm not prophesying that your children are going to be taken away. What I am teaching is this: not trusting the Lord can keep you separated from the family of God, spiritually and emotionally. It can make you feel like you're all alone in the world. Jacob had to go off on his own and try to make his own way. He didn't have anyone to lean on. Do you feel that way? Do you feel that you have no one to lean on? If you've been baptized and made covenants and kept those covenants and love the Lord but still don't trust in His power to handle things (including your sins), you're going to find yourself separated from Him. Not because He rejects you for not trusting Him, but because you are putting up a wall and keeping yourself from enjoying the relationship that's possible. Trust in the Lord is an irreplaceable part of the gospel of Jesus Christ. You can do all of the things, but it won't matter without the trust. Rebekah was trying to help the prophecy along, and all it did was take her son away from her. She didn't trust the Lord to handle it. It separated her from her loved one. Jacob listened and found himself separated from everyone. I sat down with a loved one a couple of years ago, and she confided in me that she didn't think she would make it to the Celestial Kingdom. She insisted that she had made many mistakes and didn't know whether God would count her worthy. It made me so thoroughly sad. Sure, there had been mistakes, but there wasn't a drop of rebellion in her. She loved the Lord and wanted to do what He wanted her to do. And yet despite her goodness, she didn't believe she could make it. Her lack of trust kept her from enjoying so many aspects of salvation right here and now. It kept her exiled and alone without anyone to lean on. Do you know how good it feels to be a child of God? To feel close to Him even when you can't see Him? It feels good. It feels tangible. I do not feel alone. I do not feel like I have to do this life on my own or figure out how to be okay all by myself without anyone to back me up. Trust in the Lord (whether that's timing or unwanted answers or His ability to save) gave that to me. If you feel that you're supposed to be somewhere and it's not coming together, don't force it. Work appropriately, and trust Him. Trusting Him will keep you close rather than alone. I testify that the Lord loves us. I testify that He wants to be close to us. I testify that His command for us to trust Him is a command because He knows it's one of the most powerful tools for joy and peace. We are not alone. We do not have to take things into our own hands. We have an all-powerful Lord to guide us and lead us and open doors at the right times. We can rest, knowing He has our best interest in His capable hands.

In this episode, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the rich Old Testament narratives surrounding the matriarchs of Israel, highlighting the faith, courage, and covenant loyalty of women in the Jacob cycle. Beginning with the well-known scene of Rebekah's generosity in Book of Genesis—where she offers water not only to Abraham's servant but to his camels—Dr. Wilson connects this act of selfless service to the covenant marriages that shape the house of Israel. The story then moves to Rachel and Leah, daughters of Laban, whose lives intertwine with Jacob's through love, deception, longing, and divine promise. Through their marriages, and through the faithful contributions of Zilpah and Bilhah, the foundations of the twelve tribes are laid. Dr. Wilson carefully examines the births of Gad and Asher through Zilpah, Leah's handmaid, and reflects on the complex family dynamics that shaped Jacob's household. She also addresses the wives of Esau and the contrasting covenant paths chosen by Jacob and his brother. With insight drawn from ancient context and Latter-day Saint theology, this episode brings forward the voices of these often-overlooked women—Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, Bilhah, Rebekah, and Esau's wives—showing how their choices, sacrifices, and faith played a central role in God's covenant story.

In this episode of Don't Miss This, Dave Butler and Grace Freeman walk through Genesis 24–33 and step into one of the greatest story arcs in all of scripture. From Isaac and Rebekah's love story to Jacob's rivalry with Esau, these chapters remind us that God writes beautiful stories through very imperfect people. What begins as a rom-com at a well slowly unfolds into betrayal, broken relationships, wilderness nights, and wrestling prayers. Yet in the middle of deception, fear, and family mess, God shows up. He meets Jacob in a no-name place, speaks promises over him at rock bottom, and reveals Himself as the God who brings ladders, angels, and grace into the most undeserving moments. This episode is a reminder that the scriptures do not hide the complicated parts of our humanity. Instead, they reveal a God who meets us there, who turns shame into altars, who gives new names, and who helps us prevail. If you have ever wondered whether your story is too messy for God to redeem, this lesson is for you.
