Subject: Should we model after Jacob? |
Bible Note: Searcher, Contrary to your note, if you read the verses 20, 21 and 22 carefully, you may be able to catch what I am trying to preach here. Jacob is vowing to God that he would surely give a tenth to Him "If God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take, and will give me food to eat and garments to wear,and I return to my father's house in safety, then the LORD will be my God." I thought Jacob had a pretty good deal here. Did he not? Was he not blessed aftward? Do you blame his attitude? |
