  Entrusted

  Ministries,

  I'm

  Cock.

  Today
• 0:04
  we're
• 0:04
  looking
• 0:04
  at
• 0:04
  Genesis
• 0:05
  chapter
• 0:05
  24
• 0:06
  through
• 0:06
  27.
• 0:07
  Already
• 0:07
  we'll
• 0:08
  see
• 0:08
  the
• 0:08
  end
• 0:08
  of
• 0:08
  the
• 0:08
  life
• 0:09
  of
• 0:09
  Abraham,
• 0:09
  and
• 0:09
  we'll
• 0:10
  learn
• 0:10
  more
• 0:10
  about
• 0:10
  his
• 0:10
  son,
• 0:10
  Isaac,
• 0:11
  and
• 0:11
  his
• 0:11
  grandsons,
• 0:12
  Jacob
• 0:12
  and
• 0:13
  Esau.
• 0:13
  While
• 0:13
  I
• 0:13
  believe
• 0:14
  there
• 0:14
  is
• 0:14
  so
• 0:14
  much
• 0:14
  purpose
• 0:15
  and
• 0:15
  power
• 0:15
  in
• 0:16
  going
• 0:16
  through
• 0:16
  scripture
• 0:16
  slowly,
• 0:17
  there's
• 0:17
  also
• 0:18
  something
• 0:18
  really
• 0:18
  beautiful
• 0:19
  about
• 0:19
  going
• 0:19
  through
• 0:19
  it
• 0:19
  quickly
• 0:20
  because
• 0:20
  you
• 0:20
  can
• 0:21
  see
• 0:21
  the
• 0:21
  overarching
• 0:22
  redemptive
• 0:22
  story
• 0:23
  of
• 0:23
  how
• 0:23
  God
• 0:23
  was
• 0:23
  at
• 0:24
  work,
• 0:24
  in
• 0:24
  chapter
• 0:25
  24,
• 0:25
  Abraham
• 0:26
  says
• 0:26
  he's
• 0:26
  getting
• 0:27
  older
• 0:27
  and
• 0:27
  he
• 0:27
  commissioned
• 0:28
  his
• 0:28
  servant
• 0:28
  to
• 0:29
  make
• 0:29
  a
• 0:29
  450
• 0:30
  mile
• 0:30
  journey
• 0:31
  back
• 0:31
  to
• 0:31
  where
• 0:31
  he
• 0:31
  was
• 0:31
  from
• 0:32
  to
• 0:32
  get
• 0:32
  a
• 0:32
  wife
• 0:33
  for
• 0:33
  his
• 0:33
  son,
• 0:33
  Isaac.
• 0:34
  This
• 0:34
  is
• 0:34
  an
• 0:34
  honorable
• 0:35
  task
• 0:36
  and
• 0:36
  it's
• 0:36
  assumed
• 0:36
  that
• 0:36
  the
• 0:36
  servant
• 0:37
  he's
• 0:37
  asking
• 0:37
  to
• 0:37
  help
• 0:38
  him
• 0:38
  is
• 0:38
  Azar,
• 0:39
  and
• 0:39
  I'm
• 0:39
  gonna
• 0:40
  give
• 0:40
  mad
• 0:40
  props
• 0:40
  to
• 0:40
  Azar
• 0:41
  because
• 0:41
  he
• 0:42
  is
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  servant
• 0:42
  that
• 0:42
  would've
• 0:43
  received
• 0:43
  all
• 0:44
  of
• 0:44
  Abraham's
• 0:44
  fortune
• 0:45
  if
• 0:45
  Isaac
• 0:45
  had
• 0:46
  not
• 0:46
  been
• 0:46
  born
• 0:46
  yet.
• 0:47
  He
• 0:47
  can
• 0:47
  continues
• 0:47
  to
• 0:48
  faithfully
• 0:48
  serve.
• 0:49
  Though
• 0:49
  he's
• 0:49
  been
• 0:49
  displaced
• 0:50
  his
• 0:50
  humility
• 0:51
  and
• 0:51
  his
• 0:51
  diligence
• 0:51
  in
• 0:51
  the
• 0:51
  search
• 0:52
  is
• 0:52
  truly
• 0:52
  impressive,
• 0:53
  and
• 0:53
  Abraham
• 0:54
  tells
• 0:54
  him,
• 0:54
  the
• 0:54
  Lord
• 0:55
  will
• 0:55
  send
• 0:55
  his
• 0:55
  angel
• 0:55
  before
• 0:56
  you
• 0:56
  I'll
• 0:56
  begin
• 0:57
  in
• 0:57
  chapter
• 0:57
  24,
• 0:57
  verse
• 0:58
  10.
• 0:58
  Then
• 0:59
  the
• 0:59
  servant
• 0:59
  took
• 0:59
  10
• 1:00
  of
• 1:00
  his
• 1:00
  master's,
• 1:00
  camels,
• 1:01
  and
• 1:01
  departed
• 1:01
  taking
• 1:02
  all
• 1:02
  sorts
• 1:02
  of
• 1:03
  choice
• 1:03
  gifts
• 1:03
  from
• 1:03
  his
• 1:03
  master.
• 1:04
  Ani
• 1:05
  arose
• 1:05
  and
• 1:05
  went
• 1:06
  to
• 1:06
  Mesopotamia
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  the
• 1:07
  city
• 1:07
  of
• 1:07
  Naor,
• 1:08
  and
• 1:08
  he
• 1:08
  made
• 1:08
  the
• 1:08
  camels
• 1:09
  kneel
• 1:09
  down
• 1:09
  outside
• 1:10
  the
• 1:10
  city
• 1:10
  by
• 1:10
  the
• 1:11
  well
• 1:11
  of
• 1:11
  water
• 1:11
  at
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  time
• 1:12
  of
• 1:12
  evening,
• 1:13
  the
• 1:13
  time
• 1:13
  when
• 1:13
  women
• 1:13
  go
• 1:13
  out
• 1:14
  to
• 1:14
  draw
• 1:14
  water.
• 1:15
  And
• 1:15
  he
• 1:15
  said,
• 1:15
  oh
• 1:16
  Lord
• 1:16
  God
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  my
• 1:16
  master
• 1:17
  Abraham,
• 1:17
  please
• 1:18
  grant
• 1:18
  me
• 1:18
  success
• 1:19
  today
• 1:19
  and
• 1:20
  show
• 1:20
  steadfast
• 1:20
  love
• 1:21
  to
• 1:21
  my
• 1:21
  master
• 1:21
  Abraham.
• 1:22
  Behold,
• 1:22
  I
• 1:23
  am
• 1:23
  standing
• 1:23
  by
• 1:23
  the
• 1:23
  spring
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  water
• 1:24
  and
• 1:24
  the
• 1:25
  daughters
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  the
• 1:25
  men
• 1:25
  of
• 1:25
  the
• 1:26
  city
• 1:26
  are
• 1:26
  coming
• 1:26
  out
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  draw
• 1:27
  water.
• 1:27
  Let
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  young
• 1:28
  woman,
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  whom
• 1:29
  I
• 1:29
  shall
• 1:29
  say.
• 1:29
  Please
• 1:30
  let
• 1:30
  down
• 1:30
  your
• 1:30
  jar
• 1:30
  that

  I

  may

  and

  who
• 1:32
  shall
• 1:32
  say
• 1:33
  drink
• 1:33
  and
• 1:33
  I

  will

  water
• 1:34
  your

  camels.
• 1:35
  Let
• 1:35
  her
• 1:35
  be
• 1:35
  the
• 1:36
  one
• 1:36
  whom
• 1:36
  you
• 1:36
  have
• 1:36
  appointed
• 1:37
  for
• 1:37
  your
• 1:37
  servant,
• 1:37
  Isaac.
• 1:38
  By
• 1:38
  this,
• 1:39
  I
• 1:39
  shall
• 1:39
  know
• 1:40
  that
• 1:40
  you
• 1:40
  have
• 1:40
  shown
• 1:40
  steadfast

  love
• 1:41
  to
• 1:41
  my

  master
• 1:42
  to
• 1:42
  before
• 1:43
  he
• 1:43
  had

  finished
• 1:43
  speaking.
• 1:44
  Behold
• 1:45
  Rebecca,
• 1:45
  who
• 1:45
  was
• 1:46
  born
• 1:46
  to
• 1:46
  BeWell,
• 1:47
  the
• 1:47
  son
• 1:47
  of
• 1:47
  Milah,
• 1:48
  the
• 1:48
  wife
• 1:48
  of
• 1:48
  Nho,
• 1:49
  Abraham's
• 1:49
  brother.
• 1:50
  Came
• 1:50
  out
• 1:50
  with
• 1:51
  her
• 1:51
  water
• 1:51
  jar
• 1:51
  on
• 1:51
  her
• 1:52
  shoulder.
• 1:52
  The
• 1:52
  young
• 1:53
  woman
• 1:53
  was
• 1:53
  very
• 1:53
  attractive
• 1:54
  in
• 1:54
  appearance.
• 1:55
  A
• 1:55
  maiden
• 1:55
  whom
• 1:55
  no
• 1:56
  man
• 1:56
  had
• 1:56
  known.
• 1:57
  She
• 1:57
  went
• 1:57
  down
• 1:57
  to
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  spring
• 1:58
  and
• 1:58
  filled
• 1:58
  her
• 1:58
  jar
• 1:59
  and
• 1:59
  came
• 1:59
  up.
• 2:00
  Then
• 2:00
  the
• 2:00
  servant
• 2:00
  ran
• 2:01
  to
• 2:01
  meet
• 2:01
  her
• 2:01
  and
• 2:01
  said,
• 2:02
  please
• 2:02
  give
• 2:02
  me
• 2:02
  a
• 2:02
  little
• 2:03
  water
• 2:03
  to
• 2:03
  drink
• 2:03
  from
• 2:03
  your
• 2:03
  jar.
• 2:04
  She
• 2:04
  said,
• 2:05
  drink
• 2:05
  my
• 2:05
  Lord.
• 2:06
  When
• 2:06
  she
• 2:06
  had
• 2:06
  finished
• 2:07
  giving
• 2:07
  him
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  drink,
• 2:07
  she
• 2:08
  said,
• 2:08
  I
• 2:08
  will
• 2:08
  draw
• 2:09
  water
• 2:09
  for
• 2:09
  your
• 2:09
  camels
• 2:09
  also
• 2:10
  until
• 2:10
  they
• 2:10
  have
• 2:10
  finished
• 2:11
  drinking.
• 2:12
  So
• 2:12
  she
• 2:12
  quickly
• 2:12
  emptied
• 2:13
  her
• 2:13
  jar
• 2:13
  into
• 2:13
  the
• 2:13
  trough
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  ran
• 2:15
  again
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  the
• 2:15
  well
• 2:15
  to
• 2:15
  draw
• 2:16
  water,
• 2:16
  and
• 2:16
  she
• 2:16
  drew
• 2:17
  for
• 2:17
  all
• 2:17
  his
• 2:18
  camels.
• 2:18
  The
• 2:18
  man
• 2:19
  gazed
• 2:19
  at
• 2:19
  her
• 2:19
  in
• 2:19
  silence
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  learn
• 2:20
  whether
• 2:20
  the
• 2:21
  Lord
• 2:21
  had
• 2:21
  prospered
• 2:22
  his
• 2:22
  journey
• 2:22
  or
• 2:22
  not.
• 2:23
  Continuing.
• 2:24
  In
• 2:24
  verse
• 2:24
  26,
• 2:25
  the
• 2:25
  man
• 2:25
  bowed
• 2:26
  his
• 2:26
  head
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  worshiped
• 2:27
  the
• 2:27
  Lord
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  said,
• 2:28
  blessed
• 2:28
  be
• 2:28
  the
• 2:28
  Lord,
• 2:29
  the
• 2:29
  God
• 2:30
  of
• 2:30
  my
• 2:30
  master
• 2:30
  Abraham,
• 2:31
  who
• 2:31
  has
• 2:31
  not
• 2:32
  forsaken
• 2:32
  his
• 2:32
  steadfast
• 2:33
  love
• 2:33
  and
• 2:33
  his
• 2:34
  faithfulness
• 2:34
  toward
• 2:34
  my
• 2:35
  master.
• 2:35
  As
• 2:36
  for
• 2:36
  me,
• 2:36
  the
• 2:36
  Lord
• 2:37
  has
• 2:37
  led
• 2:37
  me
• 2:37
  in
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  way
• 2:38
  to
• 2:38
  the
• 2:38
  house
• 2:38
  of
• 2:38
  my
• 2:38
  master's
• 2:39
  kinsman.
• 2:40
  Then
• 2:40
  the
• 2:40
  young
• 2:40
  woman
• 2:40
  ran
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  told
• 2:41
  her
• 2:41
  mother's
• 2:41
  household
• 2:42
  about
• 2:42
  these
• 2:42
  things.
• 2:43
  It
• 2:43
  is
• 2:43
  so
• 2:43
  endearing
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  me
• 2:44
  that
• 2:44
  he
• 2:44
  tells
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  Lord,
• 2:45
  behold,
• 2:46
  I
• 2:46
  am
• 2:46
  standing
• 2:47
  by
• 2:47
  the
• 2:47
  spring
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  water.
• 2:48
  You
• 2:48
  can
• 2:48
  tell
• 2:48
  his
• 2:48
  theology
• 2:49
  is
• 2:49
  still
• 2:49
  being
• 2:49
  formed
• 2:50
  by
• 2:50
  the
• 2:50
  way
• 2:50
  he
• 2:50
  prays,
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  fact
• 2:51
  that
• 2:51
  he
• 2:51
  doesn't
• 2:52
  understand
• 2:52
  it's
• 2:52
  the
• 2:53
  God
• 2:53
  who
• 2:53
  sees,
• 2:53
  he
• 2:54
  believes
• 2:54
  in
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  Lord,
• 2:55
  but
• 2:55
  is
• 2:55
  it
• 2:55
  his
• 2:56
  God
• 2:56
  or
• 2:56
  is
• 2:56
  it
• 2:56
  just
• 2:57
  his
• 2:57
  master's?
• 2:57
  God?
• 2:58
  In
• 2:58
  any
• 2:58
  case,
• 2:59
  he
• 2:59
  praised
• 2:59
  a
• 2:59
  specific
• 3:00
  prayer
• 3:00
  of
• 3:00
  faith,
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  before
• 3:01
  he
• 3:02
  had
• 3:02
  finished
• 3:02
  speaking,
• 3:03
  Rebecca
• 3:03
  shows
• 3:03
  up.
• 3:04
  The
• 3:04
  cultural
• 3:04
  standard
• 3:05
  of
• 3:05
  that
• 3:05
  time
• 3:05
  would've
• 3:06
  been
• 3:06
  for
• 3:06
  Rebecca
• 3:06
  to
• 3:06
  offer
• 3:07
  a
• 3:07
  stranger
• 3:07
  something
• 3:08
  to
• 3:08
  drink,
• 3:08
  but
• 3:08
  to
• 3:09
  offer
• 3:09
  something
• 3:09
  to
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  animals
• 3:10
  was
• 3:10
  going
• 3:10
  above
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  beyond.
• 3:11
  But
• 3:11
  do
• 3:12
  you
• 3:12
  know
• 3:12
  how
• 3:12
  above
• 3:13
  and
• 3:13
  beyond
• 3:13
  she
• 3:13
  was
• 3:13
  going,
• 3:14
  this
• 3:14
  might
• 3:15
  have
• 3:15
  been
• 3:15
  250
• 3:17
  gallons
• 3:17
  worth
• 3:17
  of
• 3:18
  water.
• 3:18
  So
• 3:18
  if
• 3:18
  you're
• 3:19
  thinking
• 3:19
  just
• 3:20
  because
• 3:20
  a
• 3:20
  girl
• 3:20
  offers
• 3:20
  you
• 3:21
  some
• 3:21
  water,
• 3:21
  how
• 3:22
  do
• 3:22
  you
• 3:22
  know
• 3:22
  she's
• 3:22
  marriage
• 3:23
  material?
• 3:23
  But
• 3:23
  if
• 3:23
  she's
• 3:24
  willing
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  draw
• 3:24
  250
• 3:25
  gallons
• 3:25
  of
• 3:25
  water
• 3:26
  for
• 3:26
  some
• 3:26
  candles
• 3:26
  and
• 3:26
  a
• 3:26
  stranger
• 3:27
  she's
• 3:27
  never
• 3:27
  met,
• 3:28
  I'm
• 3:28
  pretty
• 3:28
  impressed
• 3:29
  with
• 3:29
  her
• 3:29
  too.
• 3:29
  They
• 3:29
  go
• 3:30
  home
• 3:30
  and
• 3:30
  explain
• 3:30
  the
• 3:30
  story
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  her
• 3:31
  family,
• 3:31
  and
• 3:31
  she's
• 3:32
  willing
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  make
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  journey
• 3:33
  back
• 3:33
  to
• 3:33
  Abraham
• 3:33
  and
• 3:34
  Isaac.
• 3:34
  Her
• 3:34
  family
• 3:35
  blesses
• 3:35
  her.
• 3:36
  We
• 3:36
  read
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  she
• 3:36
  notices
• 3:37
  Isaac
• 3:37
  meditating
• 3:38
  in
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  field.
• 3:38
  And
• 3:39
  it's
• 3:39
  probably
• 3:39
  because
• 3:40
  he
• 3:40
  was
• 3:40
  mourning
• 3:40
  and
• 3:40
  grieving
• 3:41
  his
• 3:41
  mom's
• 3:41
  death.
• 3:41
  As
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  last
• 3:42
  verse
• 3:42
  in
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  chapter
• 3:43
  will
• 3:43
  tell
• 3:43
  us,
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  servant
• 3:44
  fills
• 3:44
  Isaac
• 3:45
  in
• 3:45
  on
• 3:45
  all
• 3:45
  that's
• 3:45
  happened,
• 3:46
  and
• 3:46
  God's
• 3:46
  word
• 3:47
  tells
• 3:47
  us.
• 3:47
  Then
• 3:48
  Isaac
• 3:48
  brought
• 3:48
  her
• 3:49
  into
• 3:49
  the
• 3:49
  tent
• 3:49
  of
• 3:49
  Sarah,
• 3:50
  his
• 3:50
  mother,
• 3:50
  and
• 3:51
  took
• 3:51
  Rebecca
• 3:51
  and
• 3:51
  she
• 3:52
  became
• 3:52
  his
• 3:52
  wife
• 3:52
  and
• 3:52
  he
• 3:53
  loved
• 3:53
  her.
• 3:53
  There's
• 3:54
  a
• 3:54
  lot
• 3:54
  to
• 3:54
  admire
• 3:54
  about
• 3:55
  Rebecca
• 3:55
  and
• 3:55
  Isaac's
• 3:55
  Union.
• 3:56
  Well,
• 3:57
  until
• 3:57
  you
• 3:57
  get
• 3:57
  to
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  way
• 3:57
  they
• 3:58
  parent
• 3:58
  together,
• 3:59
  That
• 3:59
  song
• 3:59
  Father
• 4:00
  Abraham
• 4:00
  had
• 4:00
  many
• 4:01
  sons.
• 4:01
  In
• 4:01
  chapter
• 4:01
  25,
• 4:02
  we
• 4:02
  realized,
• 4:03
  oh,
• 4:03
  he
• 4:03
  had
• 4:04
  another
• 4:04
  wife
• 4:04
  and
• 4:04
  he
• 4:04
  did
• 4:05
  have
• 4:05
  some
• 4:05
  more
• 4:05
  sons.
• 4:06
  And
• 4:06
  at
• 4:06
  175
• 4:07
  years,
• 4:08
  Abraham
• 4:08
  breathes
• 4:09
  his
• 4:09
  last.
• 4:10
  He's
• 4:10
  buried
• 4:10
  with
• 4:10
  Sarah,
• 4:11
  and
• 4:11
  God
• 4:12
  now
• 4:12
  passes
• 4:12
  the
• 4:12
  blessing
• 4:13
  onto
• 4:13
  Isaac,
• 4:13
  his
• 4:13
  son.
• 4:14
  Then
• 4:14
  we
• 4:14
  read
• 4:15
  that
• 4:15
  Isaac
• 4:15
  prayed
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  the
• 4:16
  Lord
• 4:16
  because
• 4:16
  Rebecca,
• 4:17
  his
• 4:17
  wife,
• 4:17
  was
• 4:17
  barren.
• 4:18
  They've
• 4:18
  been
• 4:18
  married
• 4:18
  for
• 4:18
  20
• 4:19
  years
• 4:19
  at
• 4:19
  this
• 4:19
  point
• 4:20
  and
• 4:20
  still
• 4:20
  don't
• 4:20
  have
• 4:20
  a
• 4:20
  child.
• 4:21
  Here
• 4:21
  are
• 4:21
  more
• 4:22
  people
• 4:22
  who
• 4:22
  love
• 4:22
  the
• 4:22
  Lord
• 4:23
  struggling
• 4:24
  with
• 4:24
  infertility
• 4:24
  and
• 4:25
  incredibly
• 4:25
  painful
• 4:25
  circumstance.
• 4:26
  But
• 4:27
  God
• 4:27
  hears
• 4:27
  Isaac's
• 4:28
  prayer
• 4:28
  and
• 4:28
  he
• 4:28
  opens
• 4:29
  Rebecca's
• 4:29
  womb
• 4:29
  and
• 4:30
  blesses
• 4:30
  her
• 4:30
  with
• 4:30
  not
• 4:31
  one
• 4:31
  but
• 4:31
  two
• 4:31
  babies.
• 4:32
  And
• 4:32
  this
• 4:32
  prophecy
• 4:33
  is
• 4:33
  not
• 4:33
  to
• 4:34
  be
• 4:34
  missed.
• 4:34
  When
• 4:34
  Rebecca
• 4:35
  inquires
• 4:35
  of
• 4:35
  the
• 4:36
  Lord
• 4:36
  about
• 4:36
  why
• 4:36
  her
• 4:36
  pregnancy
• 4:37
  is
• 4:37
  so
• 4:37
  difficult,
• 4:38
  the
• 4:38
  Lord
• 4:38
  said
• 4:39
  to
• 4:39
  her,
• 4:39
  two
• 4:39
  nations
• 4:40
  are
• 4:40
  in
• 4:40
  your
• 4:40
  womb
• 4:41
  and
• 4:41
  two
• 4:41
  peoples
• 4:42
  from
• 4:42
  within
• 4:42
  you
• 4:42
  shall
• 4:43
  be
• 4:43
  divided.
• 4:43
  The
• 4:44
  one
• 4:44
  shall
• 4:44
  be
• 4:44
  stronger
• 4:45
  than
• 4:45
  the
• 4:45
  other.
• 4:45
  The
• 4:45
  older
• 4:46
  shall
• 4:46
  serve
• 4:46
  the
• 4:47
  younger.
• 4:47
  They
• 4:48
  have
• 4:48
  a
• 4:48
  fascinating
• 4:48
  birth
• 4:49
  story
• 4:49
  and
• 4:49
  then
• 4:50
  we're
• 4:50
  told
• 4:50
  something
• 4:51
  disappointing
• 4:51
  that
• 4:52
  Isaac
• 4:52
  loved
• 4:52
  Esau
• 4:53
  because
• 4:53
  he
• 4:53
  ate
• 4:54
  of
• 4:54
  his
• 4:54
  game.
• 4:54
  But
• 4:54
  Rebecca
• 4:55
  loved
• 4:55
  Jacob.
• 4:56
  Surely
• 4:56
  they
• 4:57
  loved
• 4:57
  both
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  their
• 4:57
  children,
• 4:58
  but
• 4:58
  there's
• 4:58
  clearly
• 4:58
  favoritism
• 4:59
  and
• 4:59
  this
• 4:59
  is
• 5:00
  certainly
• 5:00
  a
• 5:00
  warning
• 5:00
  sign.
• 5:01
  Next
• 5:01
  in
• 5:02
  the
• 5:02
  infamous
• 5:02
  story,
• 5:03
  Jacob
• 5:03
  tricks
• 5:04
  Esau
• 5:04
  out
• 5:04
  of
• 5:04
  his
• 5:04
  birthright.
• 5:05
  But
• 5:05
  Issa
• 5:06
  also
• 5:06
  is
• 5:06
  frequently
• 5:07
  willing
• 5:07
  to
• 5:07
  forego
• 5:08
  long-term
• 5:08
  blessing
• 5:09
  for
• 5:09
  instant
• 5:09
  gratification,
• 5:10
  and
• 5:10
  that
• 5:11
  is
• 5:11
  not
• 5:11
  a
• 5:11
  trait
• 5:11
  that
• 5:12
  the
• 5:12
  Lord
• 5:12
  will
• 5:12
  honor
• 5:13
  or
• 5:13
  elevate.
• 5:14
  And
• 5:14
  chapter
• 5:14
  26,
• 5:15
  we'll
• 5:15
  read
• 5:15
  about
• 5:15
  another
• 5:16
  famine
• 5:16
  in
• 5:16
  the
• 5:16
  land
• 5:17
  and
• 5:17
  you're
• 5:17
  gonna
• 5:17
  think,
• 5:18
  oh
• 5:18
  my
• 5:18
  goodness,
• 5:18
  is
• 5:19
  this
• 5:19
  happening
• 5:19
  again?
• 5:20
  Isaac
• 5:20
  lies
• 5:21
  and
• 5:21
  says
• 5:21
  that
• 5:21
  Rebecca
• 5:21
  is
• 5:21
  his
• 5:22
  sister
• 5:22
  because
• 5:22
  she's
• 5:22
  so
• 5:23
  beautiful
• 5:23
  and
• 5:23
  he's
• 5:23
  trying
• 5:23
  to
• 5:24
  protect
• 5:24
  himself.
• 5:25
  And
• 5:25
  I've
• 5:25
  decided
• 5:26
  that
• 5:26
  when
• 5:26
  I
• 5:26
  look
• 5:26
  haggard
• 5:27
  and
• 5:27
  tired
• 5:28
  and
• 5:28
  I
• 5:28
  look
• 5:28
  at
• 5:28
  myself
• 5:29
  in
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  mirror,
• 5:29
  I'm
• 5:29
  gonna
• 5:30
  start
• 5:30
  thinking,
• 5:31
  well,
• 5:31
  at
• 5:31
  least
• 5:31
  I'm
• 5:31
  not
• 5:32
  making
• 5:32
  anyone
• 5:32
  fear
• 5:32
  for
• 5:33
  their
• 5:33
  life
• 5:33
  today.
• 5:33
  Because
• 5:34
  man,
• 5:34
  are
• 5:34
  these
• 5:35
  beautiful
• 5:35
  women
• 5:35
  causing
• 5:36
  their
• 5:36
  husband
• 5:36
  problems
• 5:37
  how
• 5:37
  fabulous
• 5:37
  they
• 5:37
  are.
• 5:38
  I
• 5:38
  can't
• 5:38
  help
• 5:38
  but
• 5:39
  wonder,
• 5:39
  did
• 5:39
  Abraham
• 5:40
  tell
• 5:40
  his
• 5:40
  son,
• 5:40
  Isaac,
• 5:41
  whoa,
• 5:41
  buddy,
• 5:42
  when
• 5:42
  you
• 5:42
  get
• 5:42
  married,
• 5:43
  whatever
• 5:43
  you
• 5:44
  do
• 5:44
  never
• 5:44
  lie
• 5:45
  to
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  ruler
• 5:45
  and
• 5:46
  say
• 5:46
  Rebecca
• 5:47
  is
• 5:47
  your
• 5:47
  sister,
• 5:48
  or
• 5:48
  did
• 5:48
  Abraham
• 5:48
  fail
• 5:48
  to
• 5:49
  teach
• 5:49
  him?
• 5:49
  If
• 5:50
  you've
• 5:50
  been
• 5:50
  parenting
• 5:50
  very
• 5:51
  long,
• 5:51
  you've
• 5:51
  probably
• 5:52
  realized
• 5:52
  there
• 5:52
  are
• 5:52
  mistakes
• 5:53
  that
• 5:53
  you've
• 5:54
  already
• 5:54
  made
• 5:54
  and
• 5:54
  you
• 5:54
  don't
• 5:54
  want
• 5:55
  your
• 5:55
  children
• 5:55
  repeating.
• 5:56
  You
• 5:56
  think
• 5:56
  i've
• 5:57
  already
• 5:57
  made
• 5:57
  those
• 5:57
  mistakes.
• 5:58
  You
• 5:58
  don't
• 5:58
  need
• 5:58
  to.
• 5:59
  But
• 5:59
  sometimes
• 6:00
  kids
• 6:00
  have
• 6:00
  to
• 6:00
  learn
• 6:00
  for
• 6:01
  themselves
• 6:01
  and
• 6:02
  it's
• 6:02
  painful,
• 6:02
  but
• 6:02
  we've
• 6:03
  gotta
• 6:03
  say
• 6:04
  whatever
• 6:04
  it
• 6:04
  takes,
• 6:05
  Lord,
• 6:05
  to
• 6:05
  bring
• 6:05
  them
• 6:05
  to
• 6:06
  their
• 6:06
  niece
• 6:06
  and
• 6:06
  surrender
• 6:07
  their
• 6:07
  lives
• 6:07
  to
• 6:07
  you.
• 6:08
  And
• 6:08
  once
• 6:08
  again,
• 6:09
  I
• 6:09
  can't
• 6:09
  help
• 6:09
  but
• 6:09
  be
• 6:10
  impressed
• 6:10
  that
• 6:10
  these
• 6:11
  outsiders
• 6:11
  that
• 6:11
  are
• 6:11
  not

  At
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  beginning
• 6:17
  of
• 6:18
  chapter
• 6:18
  26,
• 6:18
  God
• 6:19
  appeared
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  Isaac
• 6:19
  for
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  first
• 6:20
  time
• 6:20
  recorded
• 6:21
  in
• 6:21
  scripture,
• 6:21
  and
• 6:21
  he
• 6:22
  repeats
• 6:22
  the
• 6:22
  covenant
• 6:22
  to
• 6:23
  him.
• 6:23
  Isaac
• 6:24
  settles
• 6:24
  in
• 6:24
  the
• 6:24
  land
• 6:25
  and
• 6:25
  it
• 6:25
  tells
• 6:25
  us
• 6:25
  that
• 6:25
  the
• 6:25
  Lord
• 6:26
  blessed
• 6:26
  him
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  he
• 6:26
  became
• 6:27
  very
• 6:27
  wealthy,
• 6:27
  which
• 6:28
  instead
• 6:28
  of
• 6:28
  kaching
• 6:29
  means
• 6:30
  ba,
• 6:30
  ba
• 6:31
  as
• 6:31
  their
• 6:31
  wealth
• 6:31
  was
• 6:32
  often
• 6:32
  measured
• 6:32
  in
• 6:32
  flocks
• 6:33
  and
• 6:33
  herds.
• 6:34
  The
• 6:34
  Lord
• 6:34
  appears
• 6:34
  to
• 6:34
  him
• 6:35
  again
• 6:35
  at
• 6:35
  Be
• 6:35
  Sheba,
• 6:36
  and
• 6:36
  there
• 6:36
  are
• 6:36
  some
• 6:36
  issues
• 6:37
  with
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  wells
• 6:37
  that
• 6:37
  are
• 6:37
  being
• 6:37
  dug,
• 6:38
  and
• 6:38
  I
• 6:38
  would
• 6:38
  hope
• 6:39
  that
• 6:39
  Isaac
• 6:39
  and
• 6:39
  Rebecca
• 6:40
  taught
• 6:40
  their
• 6:40
  children
• 6:40
  about
• 6:41
  how
• 6:41
  beautifully
• 6:41
  the
• 6:41
  Lord
• 6:42
  arranged
• 6:42
  their
• 6:42
  love
• 6:42
  story.
• 6:43
  But
• 6:43
  at
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  end
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  chapter
• 6:44
  26,
• 6:44
  it
• 6:44
  seems
• 6:45
  the
• 6:45
  message
• 6:45
  just
• 6:46
  didn't
• 6:46
  sink
• 6:46
  in
• 6:46
  with
• 6:47
  Esau
• 6:47
  because
• 6:47
  at
• 6:48
  40
• 6:48
  years
• 6:48
  old,
• 6:48
  he
• 6:48
  took
• 6:49
  two
• 6:49
  hit
• 6:49
  tight
• 6:49
  wives
• 6:50
  and
• 6:50
  they
• 6:50
  made
• 6:50
  life
• 6:51
  bitter
• 6:51
  for
• 6:51
  Isaac
• 6:51
  and
• 6:52
  Rebecca.
• 6:52
  Rebecca
• 6:53
  will
• 6:53
  even
• 6:53
  later
• 6:53
  say
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  she
• 6:54
  loathes
• 6:54
  her
• 6:55
  life
• 6:55
  because
• 6:55
  of
• 6:55
  these
• 6:56
  daughter-in-laws.
• 6:57
  And
• 6:57
  chapter
• 6:57
  27
• 6:58
  is
• 6:58
  taught
• 6:58
  in
• 6:58
  every
• 6:59
  Sunday
• 6:59
  school
• 6:59
  classroom
• 7:00
  across
• 7:00
  the
• 7:00
  globe.
• 7:01
  I'm
• 7:01
  sure
• 7:01
  you
• 7:01
  know
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  story
• 7:02
  of
• 7:02
  Jacob
• 7:02
  and
• 7:02
  Esau
• 7:02
  well
• 7:03
  and
• 7:03
  that
• 7:03
  Jacob
• 7:03
  deceived
• 7:04
  his
• 7:04
  brother.
• 7:04
  So
• 7:05
  I'll
• 7:05
  just
• 7:05
  quickly
• 7:05
  mention
• 7:05
  a
• 7:06
  couple
• 7:06
  things
• 7:06
  that
• 7:07
  I
• 7:07
  think
• 7:07
  can
• 7:07
  convict
• 7:08
  and
• 7:08
  guide
• 7:08
  us
• 7:08
  as
• 7:08
  parents.
• 7:09
  Interestingly,
• 7:10
  Isaac
• 7:10
  lives
• 7:10
  another
• 7:11
  43
• 7:11
  years
• 7:12
  after
• 7:12
  this,
• 7:12
  and
• 7:13
  Jacob
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  Esau
• 7:13
  would've
• 7:14
  been
• 7:14
  77
• 7:15
  at
• 7:15
  this
• 7:15
  point.
• 7:15
  These
• 7:16
  are
• 7:16
  not
• 7:16
  teens
• 7:16
  battling
• 7:17
  for
• 7:17
  blessing.
• 7:18
  Isaac.
• 7:18
  Tells
• 7:18
  Esau
• 7:19
  to
• 7:19
  hunt
• 7:19
  and
• 7:19
  prepare
• 7:20
  some
• 7:20
  food
• 7:20
  that
• 7:20
  he
• 7:20
  can
• 7:21
  eat
• 7:21
  it,
• 7:21
  and
• 7:21
  that
• 7:21
  he
• 7:21
  can
• 7:21
  bless
• 7:22
  him
• 7:22
  before
• 7:22
  he
• 7:22
  dies.
• 7:23
  Rebecca
• 7:23
  overhears
• 7:24
  and
• 7:24
  says,
• 7:24
  Jacob,
• 7:25
  go
• 7:25
  grab
• 7:25
  me
• 7:25
  some
• 7:25
  food
• 7:26
  from
• 7:26
  the
• 7:26
  yard
• 7:26
  and
• 7:26
  I'm
• 7:27
  gonna
• 7:27
  cook
• 7:27
  it
• 7:27
  in
• 7:27
  a
• 7:27
  way
• 7:27
  I
• 7:27
  know
• 7:27
  your
• 7:28
  dad
• 7:28
  will
• 7:28
  love,
• 7:28
  and
• 7:29
  then
• 7:29
  you
• 7:29
  can
• 7:29
  sneak
• 7:29
  in
• 7:30
  and
• 7:30
  get
• 7:30
  the
• 7:30
  blessing.
• 7:30
  Jacob
• 7:31
  goes
• 7:31
  into
• 7:31
  his
• 7:31
  father
• 7:32
  having
• 7:32
  several
• 7:33
  chances
• 7:33
  to
• 7:33
  come
• 7:33
  clean
• 7:34
  as
• 7:34
  his
• 7:34
  dad
• 7:35
  was
• 7:35
  like,
• 7:35
  really?
• 7:36
  You
• 7:36
  sound
• 7:36
  like
• 7:36
  Jacob.
• 7:37
  But
• 7:37
  he
• 7:37
  still
• 7:37
  deceives
• 7:38
  his
• 7:38
  father
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  Isaac
• 7:39
  blesses
• 7:39
  him.
• 7:39
  Then
• 7:40
  Esau
• 7:40
  comes
• 7:40
  in
• 7:40
  and
• 7:41
  is
• 7:41
  irate,
• 7:41
  and
• 7:41
  Isaac
• 7:41
  says,
• 7:43
  I
• 7:43
  really
• 7:43
  have
• 7:43
  no
• 7:43
  blessing
• 7:44
  left
• 7:44
  to
• 7:44
  give
• 7:44
  you,
• 7:45
  birth
• 7:45
  order
• 7:45
  mattered
• 7:46
  so
• 7:46
  much
• 7:46
  in
• 7:46
  this
• 7:46
  culture,
• 7:47
  but
• 7:47
  still,
• 7:48
  it's
• 7:48
  hard
• 7:48
  to
• 7:48
  understand
• 7:48
  why
• 7:48
  he
• 7:49
  wouldn't
• 7:49
  save
• 7:49
  part
• 7:49
  of
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  blessing.
• 7:50
  The
• 7:50
  last
• 7:51
  time
• 7:51
  I
• 7:51
  studied
• 7:51
  it,
• 7:52
  another
• 7:52
  thing
• 7:52
  really
• 7:52
  stood
• 7:53
  out
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  me.
• 7:53
  I
• 7:53
  shared
• 7:54
  with
• 7:54
  you
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  prophecy
• 7:55
  that
• 7:55
  God
• 7:55
  said
• 7:55
  about
• 7:56
  the
• 7:56
  younger
• 7:56
  serving,
• 7:57
  the
• 7:57
  older,
• 7:57
  and
• 7:57
  he
• 7:58
  gave
• 7:58
  that
• 7:58
  to
• 7:58
  Rebecca.
• 7:59
  It
• 7:59
  made
• 7:59
  me
• 7:59
  wonder,
• 8:00
  did
• 8:00
  Rebecca
• 8:01
  think
• 8:01
  she
• 8:01
  was
• 8:01
  helping
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  Lord
• 8:02
  by
• 8:02
  making
• 8:03
  sure
• 8:03
  that
• 8:03
  Jacob
• 8:03
  got
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  blessing
• 8:04
  instead?
• 8:05
  And
• 8:05
  I
• 8:05
  wonder,
• 8:06
  do
• 8:06
  I
• 8:06
  ever
• 8:06
  do
• 8:06
  that?
• 8:07
  There
• 8:07
  are
• 8:07
  so
• 8:07
  many
• 8:07
  ways
• 8:08
  as
• 8:08
  moms
• 8:08
  that
• 8:08
  we
• 8:08
  might
• 8:08
  be
• 8:09
  thinking,
• 8:09
  we're
• 8:09
  helping
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  Lord
• 8:10
  accomplish
• 8:10
  his
• 8:10
  purposes
• 8:11
  in
• 8:11
  our
• 8:11
  kids,
• 8:11
  but
• 8:12
  we
• 8:12
  need
• 8:12
  to
• 8:12
  step
• 8:12
  back
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  evaluate
• 8:13
  our
• 8:13
  motives.
• 8:14
  Whether
• 8:14
  it's
• 8:14
  signing
• 8:15
  them
• 8:15
  up
• 8:15
  for
• 8:15
  a
• 8:15
  sport
• 8:16
  to
• 8:16
  develop
• 8:16
  their
• 8:16
  talents,
• 8:17
  even
• 8:17
  though
• 8:17
  it
• 8:17
  conflicts
• 8:18
  with
• 8:18
  church
• 8:18
  activities
• 8:19
  or
• 8:19
  family
• 8:19
  priorities.
• 8:20
  Maybe
• 8:21
  it's.
• 8:21
  Buying
• 8:21
  an
• 8:21
  activity
• 8:22
  or
• 8:22
  item
• 8:22
  for
• 8:22
  them
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  we
• 8:23
  can't
• 8:23
  afford
• 8:23
  because
• 8:24
  we
• 8:24
  just
• 8:24
  think
• 8:24
  they
• 8:24
  have
• 8:25
  to
• 8:25
  have
• 8:25
  an
• 8:25
  opportunity.
• 8:26
  We're
• 8:26
  often
• 8:26
  tempted
• 8:27
  to
• 8:27
  control
• 8:27
  things.
• 8:28
  So
• 8:28
  we
• 8:28
  have
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  be
• 8:28
  careful.
• 8:29
  I
• 8:29
  can
• 8:29
  almost
• 8:30
  hear
• 8:30
  years
• 8:30
  of
• 8:30
  Rebecca
• 8:31
  telling
• 8:31
  Isaac,
• 8:31
  Isaac,
• 8:32
  that's
• 8:32
  not
• 8:32
  what
• 8:33
  God
• 8:33
  told
• 8:33
  me.
• 8:33
  The
• 8:34
  Lord
• 8:34
  told
• 8:34
  me
• 8:35
  that
• 8:35
  Esau
• 8:35
  would
• 8:35
  serve
• 8:36
  Jacob.
• 8:36
  You
• 8:36
  have
• 8:36
  to
• 8:37
  stop
• 8:37
  favoring
• 8:37
  Esau
• 8:38
  and
• 8:38
  Isaac
• 8:38
  not
• 8:39
  listening
• 8:39
  and
• 8:39
  she
• 8:39
  just
• 8:39
  thinks,
• 8:40
  you
• 8:40
  know
• 8:40
  what?
• 8:40
  I'll
• 8:41
  take
• 8:41
  it
• 8:41
  into
• 8:41
  my
• 8:41
  own
• 8:41
  hands.
• 8:42
  As
• 8:42
  soon
• 8:42
  as
• 8:43
  Esau
• 8:43
  heard
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  words
• 8:43
  of
• 8:43
  his
• 8:44
  father,
• 8:44
  he
• 8:44
  cried
• 8:45
  out
• 8:45
  with
• 8:45
  an
• 8:45
  exceedingly
• 8:46
  great
• 8:46
  and
• 8:46
  bitter
• 8:46
  cry
• 8:47
  and
• 8:47
  said
• 8:47
  to
• 8:48
  his
• 8:48
  father,
• 8:48
  bless
• 8:48
  me,
• 8:49
  even
• 8:49
  me
• 8:50
  also,
• 8:50
  oh
• 8:50
  my
• 8:50
  father.
• 8:51
  And
• 8:51
  then
• 8:52
  have
• 8:52
  you
• 8:52
  not
• 8:52
  reserved
• 8:53
  a
• 8:53
  blessing
• 8:53
  for
• 8:53
  me?
• 8:54
  And
• 8:54
  then
• 8:54
  again.
• 8:55
  Have
• 8:55
  you
• 8:55
  but
• 8:55
  one
• 8:56
  blessing,
• 8:56
  my
• 8:56
  father
• 8:57
  bless
• 8:57
  me,
• 8:58
  and
• 8:58
  it
• 8:58
  makes
• 8:58
  me
• 8:58
  think
• 8:59
  of
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  power
• 8:59
  of
• 8:59
  a
• 9:00
  father's
• 9:00
  affirmation
• 9:01
  over
• 9:01
  his
• 9:01
  son.
• 9:02
  Certainly
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  Lord's
• 9:02
  intention
• 9:03
  is
• 9:03
  that
• 9:03
  this
• 9:03
  does
• 9:04
  not
• 9:04
  just
• 9:04
  happen
• 9:04
  on
• 9:05
  a
• 9:05
  deathbed.
• 9:05
  Let
• 9:06
  me
• 9:06
  pray
• 9:06
  to
• 9:06
  that
• 9:06
  end.
• 9:07
  Heavenly
• 9:07
  Father,
• 9:08
  we
• 9:08
  see
• 9:08
  much
• 9:08
  to
• 9:09
  emulate
• 9:09
  and
• 9:09
  also
• 9:10
  much
• 9:10
  to
• 9:10
  caution
• 9:11
  us
• 9:11
  here
• 9:11
  as
• 9:11
  we
• 9:12
  consider
• 9:12
  Isaac
• 9:12
  and
• 9:12
  Rebecca's
• 9:13
  story
• 9:14
  we
• 9:14
  ask
• 9:14
  you
• 9:14
  would
• 9:15
  help
• 9:15
  our
• 9:15
  children
• 9:15
  to
• 9:16
  have
• 9:16
  patience
• 9:16
  as
• 9:16
  they
• 9:17
  date
• 9:17
  that
• 9:17
  they
• 9:17
  would
• 9:18
  elevate
• 9:18
  character
• 9:19
  over
• 9:19
  appearance
• 9:20
  and
• 9:20
  trust
• 9:20
  you
• 9:21
  in
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  process.
• 9:22
  When
• 9:22
  we
• 9:22
  think
• 9:22
  about
• 9:22
  Rebecca
• 9:23
  possibly
• 9:24
  thinking
• 9:24
  she's
• 9:24
  helping
• 9:25
  your
• 9:25
  purposes,
• 9:25
  growing
• 9:26
  us
• 9:26
  conviction
• 9:27
  when
• 9:27
  we're
• 9:27
  trying
• 9:27
  to
• 9:28
  pave
• 9:28
  a
• 9:28
  way
• 9:28
  for
• 9:28
  what
• 9:29
  you
• 9:29
  might
• 9:29
  be
• 9:29
  doing
• 9:29
  in
• 9:29
  our
• 9:30
  children's
• 9:30
  lives.
• 9:31
  Help
• 9:31
  us
• 9:31
  to
• 9:31
  be
• 9:31
  surrendered
• 9:32
  to
• 9:32
  your
• 9:32
  will
• 9:33
  for
• 9:33
  them,
• 9:33
  even
• 9:34
  when
• 9:34
  it
• 9:34
  looks
• 9:34
  counter-cultural
• 9:35
  or
• 9:35
  different
• 9:36
  than
• 9:36
  we
• 9:36
  had
• 9:36
  expected.
• 9:37
  We
• 9:37
  pray
• 9:38
  our
• 9:38
  children
• 9:38
  would
• 9:38
  not
• 9:39
  be
• 9:39
  like
• 9:39
  Esau,
• 9:40
  giving
• 9:40
  themselves
• 9:41
  over
• 9:41
  to
• 9:41
  instant
• 9:41
  gratification
• 9:43
  instead
• 9:43
  of
• 9:43
  long-term
• 9:44
  character
• 9:44
  growth
• 9:45
  And
• 9:45
  I
• 9:45
  pray
• 9:45
  for
• 9:46
  the
• 9:46
  husbands
• 9:46
  of
• 9:46
  the
• 9:46
  wives
• 9:47
  that
• 9:47
  are
• 9:47
  listening.
• 9:48
  Give
• 9:48
  these
• 9:48
  men
• 9:49
  encouraging
• 9:49
  words
• 9:49
  to
• 9:50
  speak
• 9:50
  over
• 9:50
  their
• 9:50
  children,
• 9:51
  that
• 9:51
  their
• 9:51
  correction
• 9:52
  would
• 9:52
  be
• 9:52
  consistent
• 9:53
  with
• 9:53
  your
• 9:53
  word,
• 9:54
  and
• 9:54
  that
• 9:54
  they
• 9:54
  would
• 9:54
  rightly
• 9:55
  display
• 9:55
  you
• 9:56
  as
• 9:56
  their
• 9:56
  heavenly
• 9:56
  father.
• 9:57
  In
• 9:57
  your
• 9:57
  name
• 9:58
  we
• 9:58
  pray
• 9:58
  Jesus.
• 9:58
  Amen.
