Bible in 90 Days: Day 3

Filed Under (Bible in 90 Days, Christianity) by rgreen on 05-01-2010

Todays reading was Genesis 28-40.  Four things caught my eye in this section of scripture

  1. Esau rejoins Ishmael’s line in 28.9
  2. In 28.22 Jacob promises a tenth (tithe) of all he has to God
  3. In 30.1-24 Jacob’s wives (Rachel and Leah) battle it out for his affections. Even more than that, they battle for time spent between the sheets as they both want to have more children than the other.
  4. In 32.22-32 Jacob wrestles with God. This is one of my favorite passages of scripture for two reasons: God comes down to see Jacob and Jacob refuses to let God leave without a blessing. Man may be nothing but dust, but God listens to his intentions and his hearts desires.

    Glad to see you’re reading through the Bible…guessing it isn’t really the whole Bible in 90 days…that would be about 2/3’s of a book each day….I enjoyed reading your comments…hope you make it through to day 90…
