Today we are reading Genesis 25. In this chapter we read about the birth of Jacob and Esau. “These are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham fathered Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife. And Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife, because she was barren. And the Lord granted his prayer, and Rebekah his wife conceived. The children struggled together within her, and she said, “If it is thus, why is this happening to me?” So she went to inquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her, “Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.” When her days to give birth were completed, behold, there were twins in her womb. The first came out red, all his body like a hairy cloak, so they called his name Esau. Afterward his brother came out with his hand holding Esau’s heel, so his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.” Genesis 25:19-26 ESV Isaac and Rebekah were married 20 years before God gave them twin boys. This is a very unusual family. Nothing like what we are familiar with. Odd as it seems, God still does amazing things through them that benefit all people. What about your family? Is it picture perfect? Not by a long shot! No matter what our situation may look like, God is still God and He can make amazing things happen in and through us. Watch for the amazing! Pastor Tim
