Today is Wednesday, November 14, 2018, and here is your daily devote. Throughout the story of Jacob and Esau, we encounter a dysfunctional family full of deceptive self-serving men and women. This is hardly a family we would expect God to use to bring about his redemptive plan, and yet he does. In doing so, God reminds us of the vital role mercy will play in blessing all the families of the world.
As we go about our daily lives this week, let's keep that thought in mind. We are a people through whom God communicates his salvation, and yet we are the ones for whom God provides salvation. In the beauty of God's redemptive act, he positions us to show others his mercy through the struggles of our own flawed and dysfunctional lives. If you have been waiting to share the splendor of God's love with others until you get your life right, let the story of Isaac, Esau, and Jacob be an encouragement to you.
Let God work in you and through you even now. Think about this. What are some common dysfunctions and families? How can God's grace through the gospel overcome these?
How does it give you hope to know God can work even through our lives and sinfulness to accomplish his plan? Thanks for listening to the Daily Depot. I would love to connect with you either on social media or you can send me an email at adamberton.net. Also, please share this, like it, send it to somebody who it might be a benefit to.
God bless.
