S1:E17 The Revivalists - Genesis Chapters 26 & 27

This week Eva and Darrell cover Genesis Chapters 26 & 27. The Cycle repeats. One would think that Abraham would have told his son Isaac the errors of his ways and telling lies. Perhaps that's where Isaac heard the lie and decided to convey the same lie to Abimelech about his wife being his sister. But Abimelech knew better and sent Isaac on his merry way with blessings. Isaac's blessings grow in abundance which make the locals mad and they start filling in his water wells. Abimelech proposes a contract with Isaac, they agree the next day. The third well that Isaac's servants dig is full of water and they are back in business.  Born as twins, Esau and Jacob race to bring dinner to dear Dad who is blind and near death. However, this happens but not without some deceitful acts of Mommy dearest Rebekah who prods Jacob to act like Esau and get the blessings first. Esau's first response was to Isaac and where were his blessings? Life is not fair! Esau vows to kill Jacob. (Isn't this a familiar story between Cain and Abel?)  Our moral injury takeaway is that when we tell lies and facilitate lies, there will be consequences. It does not help with disability claims when we embellish stories to inflate our injuries. What sets us free is the truth of whatever it is that happened. It may take us awhile (could be twenty years) to get our disabilities just tell the truth.
