TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - FEBRUARY 8, 2023
Wednesday, February 8, 2023 at 9:04AM The Faith of Isaac and Jacob
Today is February 8, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Both Isaac and Jacob are not husband of the year or father of the year worthy. In fact, we don't see any huge miracles or extraordinary accomplishments in their lives. No battles fought or wars won or acts of bravery or, even, great wisdom shared.
I mean, Isaac is best know for not being sacrificed and having his blessing stolen.
Jacob is best known for tricking his dad, not knowing Leah from Rachel, and switching his hands when giving the blessing to his grandsons.
These are not the most pious, obedient, and faithful individuals.
However, they both trusted in the future promises of God. Promises given to Abraham. Promises that they could not deliver to their families.
Isaac and Jacob were totally dependent upon God to fulfill the promised blessings, and, despite family drama and circumstances, they both showed their trust in those promises by passing them on to the next generation.
That is what they are commended for. And that act of faith is why, not only are they in the 'Halls of Faith' in Hebrews 11, but are associated with the Lord forever.
God's blessing upon you as you meditate on the faith of Isaac and Jacob, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
