Genesis 38

God takes a morass of selfishness and immorality and uses it to further His redemptive ends.

Genesis 37

God’s ways are truly unfathomable.

Life is messy. We are messy. God is faithful.

Jacob is a changed man, but his earlier life continues to haunt him through his sons.

We all have Esaus we have to face.

God doesn’t allow His children to lead unchanging lives.

Unjust circumstances and difficult people are no match for God’s faithfulness.

What we see isn’t as important as what we know.

Even in the midst of rampant selfishness and dysfunction, God remains loving and kind.

Whatever a man sows, this will he also reap.
