And<00:00:14.800><c> I</c><00:00:14.900><c> don't</c><00:00:15.060><c> think</c><00:00:15.160><c> it's</c><00:00:15.359><c> about</c><00:00:15.560><c> the</c><00:00:15.740><c> bathrooms</c><00:00:16.059><c> either.</c>

00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.480
All<00:00:18.620><c> right,</c><00:00:18.960><c> well,</c><00:00:19.820><c> I</c><00:00:19.839><c> thought</c><00:00:20.120><c> yesterday</c><00:00:20.559><c> we</c><00:00:20.719><c> could</c><00:00:20.980><c> have,</c>

after<00:00:22.100><c> class,</c><00:00:22.579><c> we</c><00:00:22.640><c> could</c><00:00:22.760><c> have</c><00:00:22.879><c> moved</c><00:00:23.059><c> on</c>

00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:26.899
I<00:00:24.780><c> do</c><00:00:24.960><c> think</c><00:00:25.100><c> there's</c><00:00:25.300><c> some</c><00:00:25.559><c> great</c><00:00:25.760><c> lessons</c><00:00:26.120><c> that</c><00:00:26.440><c> come</c><00:00:26.620><c> out</c>

00:00:26.899 --> 00:00:29.640
of<00:00:27.140><c> the</c><00:00:27.440><c> life</c><00:00:27.579><c> of</c><00:00:27.899><c> Isaac,</c><00:00:28.859><c> especially</c>

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:35.020
the<00:00:30.260><c> issues</c><00:00:30.719><c> for</c><00:00:31.539><c> our</c><00:00:31.719><c> children</c><00:00:32.140><c> of</c><00:00:32.619><c> how</c><00:00:32.920><c> Abraham</c><00:00:33.340><c> was</c><00:00:33.640><c> so</c><00:00:34.000><c> concerned</c><00:00:34.560><c> that</c><00:00:34.799><c> he</c>

00:00:35.020 --> 00:00:35.659
sent<00:00:35.140><c> his</c><00:00:35.439><c> servant</c>

00:00:35.659 --> 00:00:40.979
a<00:00:36.079><c> long</c><00:00:36.420><c> ways</c><00:00:36.820><c> to</c><00:00:37.060><c> find</c><00:00:37.299><c> a</c><00:00:37.520><c> wife</c><00:00:37.799><c> for</c><00:00:38.280><c> Isaac</c><00:00:38.679><c> and</c><00:00:39.479><c> their</c><00:00:39.820><c> willingness</c><00:00:40.280><c> to</c>

00:00:40.979 --> 00:00:42.479
cooperate<00:00:41.399><c> together.</c>

00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:45.960
The<00:00:43.020><c> way</c><00:00:43.240><c> Rebecca</c><00:00:43.640><c> just</c><00:00:43.960><c> left</c><00:00:44.100><c> her</c><00:00:44.359><c> family</c><00:00:44.780><c> and</c><00:00:45.399><c> joined</c><00:00:45.600><c> Isaac.</c>

00:00:46.119 --> 00:00:48.560
The<00:00:46.399><c> simplicity</c><00:00:46.820><c> of</c><00:00:47.039><c> their</c><00:00:47.259><c> marriage,</c><00:00:47.759><c> how</c><00:00:47.899><c> Isaac</c><00:00:48.159><c> just</c><00:00:48.439><c> took</c>

00:00:49.859 --> 00:00:53.460
So<00:00:50.060><c> many</c><00:00:50.340><c> things</c><00:00:50.579><c> that</c><00:00:50.759><c> are</c><00:00:51.060><c> different</c><00:00:51.380><c> than</c><00:00:51.640><c> our</c><00:00:51.899><c> marriages</c><00:00:52.299><c> today.</c>

00:00:53.640 --> 00:00:55.020
And<00:00:53.840><c> their</c><00:00:54.020><c> marriage</c><00:00:54.460><c> lasted.</c>

00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.619
Their<00:00:55.820><c> marriage</c><00:00:56.119><c> lasted</c><00:00:56.560><c> through</c><00:00:56.880><c> a</c><00:00:57.060><c> lot</c><00:00:57.320><c> of</c><00:00:57.640><c> troubles</c><00:00:57.979><c> and</c><00:00:58.320><c> trials.</c>

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:02.039
God<00:00:58.920><c> made</c><00:00:59.119><c> them</c><00:00:59.320><c> wait</c><00:00:59.520><c> 20</c><00:00:59.920><c> years</c><00:01:00.420><c> for</c><00:01:00.619><c> their</c><00:01:00.859><c> first</c><00:01:01.100><c> child.</c>

00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:04.200
And<00:01:02.240><c> that</c><00:01:03.159><c> was</c><00:01:03.600><c> what</c><00:01:03.820><c> they</c><00:01:04.019><c> did.</c>

00:01:04.280 --> 00:01:06.340
They<00:01:04.620><c> patiently</c><00:01:05.099><c> waited</c><00:01:05.480><c> on</c><00:01:05.879><c> God.</c>

00:01:06.700 --> 00:01:08.379
Learned<00:01:07.000><c> a</c><00:01:07.079><c> lesson,</c><00:01:07.340><c> I</c><00:01:07.560><c> think,</c><00:01:07.739><c> from</c><00:01:07.959><c> Abraham.</c>

00:01:08.459 --> 00:01:10.920
Didn't<00:01:08.640><c> go</c><00:01:08.900><c> through</c><00:01:09.140><c> the</c><00:01:09.280><c> route</c><00:01:09.540><c> of</c><00:01:09.719><c> finding</c><00:01:10.099><c> a</c><00:01:10.400><c> handmaid</c><00:01:10.799><c> or</c>

00:01:12.219 --> 00:01:14.180
Isaac<00:01:12.659><c> was</c><00:01:12.900><c> learning</c><00:01:13.219><c> as</c><00:01:13.459><c> he</c><00:01:13.579><c> goes</c><00:01:13.780><c> along.</c>

00:01:14.659 --> 00:01:16.519

Genesis<00:01:16.859><c> 26,</c>

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.079

00:01:20.079 --> 00:01:21.359
when<00:01:20.219><c> he</c><00:01:20.359><c> came</c><00:01:20.560><c> back</c><00:01:20.780><c> to</c><00:01:20.920><c> the</c><00:01:21.099><c> land.</c>

00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.640
And<00:01:21.780><c> he</c><00:01:21.900><c> came</c><00:01:22.060><c> back</c><00:01:22.299><c> into</c><00:01:22.480><c> the</c><00:01:22.640><c> area</c><00:01:22.799><c> where</c><00:01:22.959><c> Abraham</c><00:01:23.280><c> had</c><00:01:23.519><c> been.</c>

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:24.620
He's<00:01:23.980><c> digging</c><00:01:24.159><c> a</c><00:01:24.400><c> well.</c>

00:01:25.000 --> 00:01:27.579
He<00:01:25.180><c> digs</c><00:01:25.439><c> a</c><00:01:25.579><c> well,</c><00:01:25.719><c> finds</c><00:01:26.060><c> water,</c><00:01:26.579><c> and</c><00:01:26.780><c> then</c><00:01:26.939><c> the</c><00:01:27.180><c> people</c><00:01:27.379><c> of</c>

00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:29.540
Then<00:01:28.700><c> he</c><00:01:28.780><c> digs</c><00:01:29.000><c> another</c><00:01:29.260><c> well.</c>

00:01:29.739 --> 00:01:32.340
And<00:01:29.739><c> then</c><00:01:30.079><c> he</c><00:01:30.219><c> finds</c><00:01:30.519><c> water</c><00:01:30.959><c> and</c><00:01:31.280><c> the</c><00:01:31.439><c> people</c><00:01:31.680><c> take</c><00:01:31.879><c> it</c><00:01:32.060><c> over.</c>

00:01:32.579 --> 00:01:33.500
And<00:01:32.780><c> he</c><00:01:32.879><c> keeps</c><00:01:33.159><c> going.</c>

00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:36.459
And<00:01:33.700><c> you</c><00:01:33.819><c> wonder,</c><00:01:34.060><c> like,</c><00:01:34.180><c> what</c><00:01:34.280><c> is</c><00:01:34.439><c> this</c><00:01:34.719><c> story</c><00:01:34.959><c> doing</c><00:01:35.260><c> in</c><00:01:35.439><c> the</c><00:01:35.599><c> scriptures?</c>

00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:41.500
But<00:01:36.819><c> it</c><00:01:37.159><c> shows</c><00:01:37.480><c> you</c><00:01:38.019><c> Isaac's</c><00:01:38.739><c> approach</c><00:01:39.299><c> to</c><00:01:39.719><c> God's</c><00:01:40.260><c> involvement</c><00:01:40.659><c> in</c><00:01:40.859><c> his</c><00:01:41.200><c> life.</c>

00:01:41.980 --> 00:01:43.980
Where<00:01:42.359><c> he</c><00:01:42.760><c> tried</c><00:01:43.099><c> different</c><00:01:43.480><c> things.</c>

00:01:44.159 --> 00:01:46.599
He<00:01:44.599><c> tried</c><00:01:44.780><c> things</c><00:01:45.140><c> to</c><00:01:45.420><c> see</c><00:01:45.640><c> what</c><00:01:45.859><c> God</c><00:01:46.079><c> would</c><00:01:46.260><c> bless.</c>

00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.920
It's<00:01:47.280><c> a</c><00:01:47.359><c> very</c><00:01:47.620><c> simple</c><00:01:47.920><c> lesson</c><00:01:48.319><c> that</c><00:01:48.719><c> Solomon,</c><00:01:49.159><c> I</c><00:01:49.299><c> think,</c><00:01:49.540><c> brings</c><00:01:49.700><c> up</c>

in<00:01:50.040><c> Ecclesiastes</c><00:01:50.700><c> 11.</c>

00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:53.859
That<00:01:51.640><c> you</c><00:01:51.799><c> can't</c><00:01:52.079><c> just</c><00:01:52.379><c> have</c><00:01:52.620><c> one</c><00:01:52.959><c> pathway</c><00:01:53.420><c> in</c><00:01:53.680><c> life</c>

00:01:53.859 --> 00:01:56.319
and<00:01:54.000><c> just</c><00:01:54.260><c> expect</c><00:01:54.560><c> God's</c><00:01:54.840><c> always</c><00:01:55.060><c> going</c><00:01:55.200><c> to</c><00:01:55.359><c> bless</c><00:01:55.500><c> your</c><00:01:55.719><c> one</c><00:01:55.939><c> pathway.</c>

Sometimes<00:01:57.159><c> you</c><00:01:57.319><c> have</c><00:01:57.480><c> to</c><00:01:57.659><c> try</c><00:01:57.879><c> different</c><00:01:58.159><c> things.</c>

00:01:58.840 --> 00:02:01.900

And<00:08:02.740><c> in</c><00:08:02.800><c> this</c><00:08:03.120><c> case,</c><00:08:03.439><c> Rebekah</c><00:08:04.079><c> understood</c><00:08:04.920><c> that</c><00:08:05.459><c> Jacob</c><00:08:05.899><c> was</c>

00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:12.139
But<00:08:09.740><c> as</c><00:08:09.879><c> any</c><00:08:10.079><c> dad,</c><00:08:10.480><c> we</c><00:08:10.740><c> care</c><00:08:11.160><c> about</c><00:08:11.639><c> our</c><00:08:11.899><c> children.</c>

00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:13.100
We<00:08:12.379><c> love</c><00:08:12.579><c> our</c><00:08:12.819><c> kids.</c>

00:08:13.439 --> 00:08:18.000
And<00:08:13.600><c> there</c><00:08:13.740><c> is</c><00:08:13.959><c> a</c><00:08:14.139><c> natural</c><00:08:14.699><c> tendency</c><00:08:15.259><c> to</c><00:08:15.600><c> want</c><00:08:15.779><c> to</c><00:08:16.000><c> show</c><00:08:16.259><c> favoritism</c><00:08:17.000><c> to</c><00:08:17.379><c> some</c><00:08:17.720><c> of</c>

our<00:08:18.199><c> kids.</c>

00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:19.720
That's<00:08:19.199><c> the</c><00:08:19.300><c> way</c><00:08:19.399><c> it</c><00:08:19.540><c> is.</c>

00:08:19.779 --> 00:08:21.199
I<00:08:19.920><c> mean,</c><00:08:19.920><c> you</c><00:08:20.060><c> look</c><00:08:20.240><c> back</c><00:08:20.459><c> in</c><00:08:20.579><c> your</c><00:08:20.740><c> own</c><00:08:20.920><c> family.</c>

00:08:21.319 --> 00:08:23.360
I've<00:08:21.399><c> had</c><00:08:21.439><c> a</c><00:08:21.620><c> lot</c><00:08:21.720><c> of</c><00:08:21.800><c> you</c><00:08:21.959><c> can</c><00:08:22.180><c> sit</c><00:08:22.259><c> here</c><00:08:22.459><c> and</c><00:08:22.639><c> tell</c><00:08:22.740><c> me</c><00:08:22.920><c> whether</c><00:08:23.079><c> you</c><00:08:23.259><c> were</c>

00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:26.139
the<00:08:23.639><c> favored</c><00:08:23.879><c> child</c><00:08:24.300><c> of</c><00:08:24.459><c> your</c><00:08:24.660><c> family</c><00:08:25.000><c> or</c><00:08:25.120><c> whether</c><00:08:25.339><c> you</c><00:08:25.579><c> weren't.</c>

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:28.459
And<00:08:26.579><c> that's</c><00:08:27.220><c> the</c><00:08:27.319><c> way</c><00:08:27.459><c> it</c><00:08:27.680><c> goes.</c>

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:31.240
We<00:08:28.939><c> find</c><00:08:29.160><c> in</c><00:08:29.319><c> Romans</c><00:08:29.579><c> 9,</c><00:08:29.980><c> though,</c><00:08:30.160><c> the</c><00:08:30.240><c> apostle</c><00:08:30.560><c> Paul</c><00:08:30.879><c> said</c><00:08:31.139><c> it</c>

00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:32.220
was<00:08:31.480><c> said</c><00:08:31.680><c> to</c><00:08:31.860><c> her,</c>

00:08:32.220 --> 00:08:35.179
it<00:08:32.279><c> was</c><00:08:32.580><c> said</c><00:08:32.779><c> to</c><00:08:32.960><c> her</c><00:08:33.200><c> that</c><00:08:33.360><c> the</c><00:08:33.600><c> older</c><00:08:33.879><c> will</c><00:08:34.220><c> serve</c><00:08:34.620><c> the</c><00:08:34.879><c> younger.</c>

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.899
As<00:08:35.500><c> it's</c><00:08:35.720><c> written,</c><00:08:35.980><c> Jacob,</c><00:08:36.500><c> I've</c><00:08:36.659><c> loved</c><00:08:36.820><c> and</c><00:08:37.039><c> Esau,</c><00:08:37.360><c> I've</c><00:08:37.679><c> hated.</c>

00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.559
So<00:08:38.679><c> there's</c><00:08:38.980><c> a</c><00:08:39.100><c> good</c><00:08:39.320><c> warning</c><00:08:39.580><c> in</c><00:08:39.779><c> there</c><00:08:39.919><c> when</c><00:08:40.000><c> you</c><00:08:40.139><c> look</c><00:08:40.279><c> at</c>

practical<00:08:40.919><c> lessons</c>

00:08:42.620 --> 00:08:45.279
This<00:08:42.799><c> is</c><00:08:43.019><c> just</c><00:08:43.200><c> something</c><00:08:43.519><c> as</c><00:08:43.820><c> parents</c><00:08:44.080><c> we</c><00:08:44.259><c> have</c><00:08:44.399><c> to</c><00:08:44.500><c> be</c><00:08:44.740><c> careful</c><00:08:45.000><c> of.</c>

00:08:45.539 --> 00:08:48.820
We're<00:08:45.820><c> going</c><00:08:45.940><c> to</c><00:08:46.120><c> have</c><00:08:46.279><c> a</c><00:08:46.580><c> natural</c><00:08:46.980><c> tendency</c><00:08:47.419><c> to</c><00:08:47.659><c> want</c><00:08:47.779><c> to</c><00:08:48.019><c> favor</c><00:08:48.320><c> some</c><00:08:48.620><c> of</c>

00:08:48.820 --> 00:08:49.340
our<00:08:49.039><c> kids.</c>

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:51.059
And<00:08:49.899><c> the</c><00:08:50.059><c> kids</c><00:08:50.179><c> are</c><00:08:50.379><c> going</c><00:08:50.500><c> to</c><00:08:50.639><c> know</c><00:08:50.740><c> it.</c>

00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:53.659
And<00:08:51.820><c> that's</c><00:08:52.240><c> just</c><00:08:52.460><c> something</c><00:08:52.720><c> we</c><00:08:52.899><c> have</c><00:08:53.059><c> to</c><00:08:53.240><c> work</c><00:08:53.440><c> at.</c>

00:08:53.820 --> 00:08:56.259
Husbands<00:08:54.059><c> and</c><00:08:54.279><c> wives,</c><00:08:54.539><c> we</c><00:08:54.720><c> can</c><00:08:54.899><c> talk</c><00:08:55.120><c> to</c><00:08:55.320><c> each</c><00:08:55.519><c> other,</c><00:08:55.879><c> try</c><00:08:56.059><c> to</c>

00:08:56.259 --> 00:08:56.700
figure<00:08:56.419><c> out,</c>

00:08:56.700 --> 00:08:59.799
what<00:08:57.259><c> are</c><00:08:57.419><c> we</c><00:08:57.519><c> doing</c><00:08:57.700><c> right</c><00:08:58.000><c> and</c><00:08:58.259><c> wrong</c><00:08:58.500><c> and</c><00:08:58.779><c> discuss</c><00:08:59.059><c> it.</c>

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.519
And<00:09:00.200><c> sometimes</c><00:09:00.559><c> it's</c><00:09:00.840><c> good</c><00:09:01.039><c> in</c><00:09:01.279><c> some</c><00:09:01.419><c> ways</c><00:09:01.659><c> to</c><00:09:01.899><c> have</c><00:09:02.100><c> a</c><00:09:02.320><c> mom</c>

00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:03.559
who<00:09:02.799><c> can</c><00:09:03.100><c> look</c><00:09:03.360><c> out</c>

00:09:03.559 --> 00:09:05.580
for<00:09:03.759><c> one</c><00:09:03.919><c> of</c><00:09:04.039><c> the</c><00:09:04.240><c> children</c><00:09:04.500><c> that</c><00:09:04.679><c> dad</c><00:09:04.940><c> doesn't.</c>

00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.059
And<00:09:06.000><c> dad</c><00:09:06.179><c> who</c><00:09:06.320><c> can</c><00:09:06.500><c> look</c><00:09:06.720><c> out</c><00:09:06.879><c> for</c><00:09:07.080><c> one</c><00:09:07.179><c> of</c><00:09:07.320><c> the</c><00:09:07.500><c> children</c><00:09:07.820><c> who</c>

00:09:08.059 --> 00:09:08.960
mother<00:09:08.279><c> doesn't.</c>

00:09:08.980 --> 00:09:11.159
So<00:09:09.179><c> we</c><00:09:09.340><c> can</c><00:09:09.500><c> help</c><00:09:09.720><c> to</c><00:09:10.000><c> balance</c><00:09:10.279><c> each</c><00:09:10.539><c> other</c><00:09:10.799><c> out.</c>

00:09:11.539 --> 00:09:14.539
The<00:09:11.879><c> problem</c><00:09:12.139><c> is</c><00:09:12.419><c> it</c><00:09:12.580><c> creates</c><00:09:13.000><c> rivalries</c><00:09:13.740><c> amongst</c><00:09:14.059><c> the</c><00:09:14.299><c> kids</c>

00:09:14.539 --> 00:09:15.720
because<00:09:14.879><c> they're</c><00:09:15.100><c> always</c><00:09:15.399><c> looking.</c>

00:09:15.820 --> 00:09:17.080
And<00:09:15.960><c> they'll</c><00:09:16.100><c> say,</c><00:09:16.240><c> well,</c><00:09:16.320><c> that's</c><00:09:16.580><c> not</c><00:09:16.860><c> fair.</c>

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:18.840
You<00:09:17.240><c> didn't</c><00:09:17.320><c> do</c><00:09:17.500><c> that</c><00:09:17.659><c> to</c><00:09:17.799><c> this</c><00:09:18.080><c> one</c><00:09:18.240><c> or</c><00:09:18.379><c> that</c><00:09:18.659><c> one.</c>

00:09:18.899 --> 00:09:20.899
Or<00:09:19.019><c> look</c><00:09:19.179><c> what</c><00:09:19.240><c> you</c><00:09:19.440><c> give</c><00:09:19.639><c> them</c><00:09:19.919><c> or</c><00:09:20.080><c> something</c><00:09:20.320><c> like</c><00:09:20.620><c> that.</c>

00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.580
I<00:09:21.279><c> think</c><00:09:21.419><c> the</c><00:09:21.679><c> Time</c><00:09:21.820><c> magazine</c><00:09:22.259><c> picture</c><00:09:22.620><c> up</c><00:09:22.779><c> there</c><00:09:23.000><c> shows</c><00:09:23.220><c> it</c><00:09:23.440><c> all,</c>

00:09:26.700 --> 00:09:29.320
That's<00:09:27.080><c> the</c><00:09:27.240><c> cake</c><00:09:27.379><c> she</c><00:09:27.580><c> got</c><00:09:27.879><c> probably</c><00:09:28.220><c> from</c><00:09:28.460><c> mom</c><00:09:28.700><c> in</c><00:09:28.860><c> this</c><00:09:29.080><c> case.</c>

00:09:29.419 --> 00:09:31.100
Maybe<00:09:29.820><c> dad's</c><00:09:30.279><c> a</c><00:09:30.279><c> little</c><00:09:30.379><c> girl,</c><00:09:30.600><c> who</c><00:09:30.799><c> knows.</c>

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:34.259
But<00:09:32.019><c> the</c><00:09:32.360><c> problem</c><00:09:32.659><c> can</c><00:09:32.899><c> be</c><00:09:33.000><c> for</c><00:09:33.200><c> us</c><00:09:33.600><c> as</c><00:09:33.899><c> parents.</c>

00:09:34.419 --> 00:09:38.440
We<00:09:34.539><c> can</c><00:09:34.779><c> end</c><00:09:34.980><c> up</c><00:09:35.220><c> emphasizing</c><00:09:35.820><c> the</c><00:09:36.340><c> wrong</c><00:09:36.779><c> goals</c><00:09:37.299><c> in</c><00:09:37.620><c> life.</c>

00:09:53.440 --> 00:09:55.620
And<00:09:53.580><c> we</c><00:09:53.700><c> may</c><00:09:53.820><c> have</c><00:09:53.940><c> a</c><00:09:54.139><c> child</c><00:09:54.360><c> who</c><00:09:54.559><c> loves</c><00:09:54.860><c> the</c><00:09:55.200><c> truth</c>

00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:05.460
And<00:10:03.519><c> so</c><00:10:04.100><c> hopefully</c><00:10:04.639><c> moms</c><00:10:05.019><c> and</c><00:10:05.259><c> dads,</c>

00:10:05.480 --> 00:10:08.720

00:10:08.940 --> 00:10:10.539
Now,<00:10:09.279><c> Jacob's</c><00:10:09.559><c> known</c><00:10:09.720><c> for</c><00:10:09.860><c> being</c><00:10:10.080><c> a</c><00:10:10.259><c> schemer.</c>

00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:12.799
I<00:10:10.980><c> think</c><00:10:11.299><c> that</c><00:10:11.559><c> the</c><00:10:11.679><c> angels</c><00:10:11.840><c> must</c><00:10:12.059><c> have</c><00:10:12.179><c> had</c><00:10:12.279><c> a</c><00:10:12.320><c> lot</c><00:10:12.559><c> of</c><00:10:12.679><c> fun</c>

00:10:12.799 --> 00:10:13.360
with<00:10:12.980><c> Jacob</c>

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.700
because<00:10:14.240><c> Jacob</c><00:10:14.759><c> had</c><00:10:15.059><c> a</c><00:10:15.200><c> lot</c><00:10:15.399><c> of</c><00:10:15.620><c> growth</c><00:10:15.779><c> to</c><00:10:16.019><c> do.</c>

00:10:16.779 --> 00:10:19.179
In<00:10:16.919><c> Genesis</c><00:10:17.240><c> 25</c><00:10:17.960><c> and</c><00:10:18.500><c> verse</c><00:10:18.720><c> 33,</c>

that<00:10:19.580><c> he</c><00:10:19.700><c> got</c><00:10:19.940><c> Esau</c><00:10:20.259><c> to</c><00:10:20.539><c> sell</c><00:10:20.659><c> him</c><00:10:20.820><c> his</c><00:10:21.019><c> birthright.</c>

00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.740
And<00:10:22.200><c> that</c><00:10:22.399><c> time</c><00:10:22.559><c> when</c><00:10:22.679><c> Esau</c><00:10:23.000><c> came</c><00:10:23.240><c> in</c><00:10:23.480><c> from</c><00:10:23.639><c> the</c><00:10:23.799><c> field</c><00:10:24.019><c> all</c><00:10:24.340><c> famished,</c>

00:10:24.740 --> 00:10:27.580
like<00:10:25.120><c> he</c><00:10:25.259><c> was</c><00:10:25.460><c> going</c><00:10:25.659><c> to</c><00:10:25.879><c> die</c><00:10:26.299><c> because</c><00:10:26.759><c> he</c><00:10:26.879><c> hadn't</c><00:10:27.059><c> had</c><00:10:27.259><c> a</c><00:10:27.419><c> meal</c>

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:29.419
for<00:10:27.980><c> a</c><00:10:28.200><c> few</c><00:10:28.460><c> hours.</c>

00:10:29.559 --> 00:10:32.639
And<00:10:29.620><c> Jacob</c><00:10:30.840><c> cared</c><00:10:31.200><c> at</c><00:10:31.419><c> least</c><00:10:31.740><c> for</c><00:10:32.019><c> the</c><00:10:32.220><c> birthright.</c>

00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:35.980
And<00:10:32.899><c> Esau,</c><00:10:33.600><c> we're</c><00:10:33.940><c> told</c><00:10:34.200><c> in</c><00:10:34.419><c> Hebrews,</c><00:10:34.860><c> Paul</c><00:10:35.120><c> tells</c><00:10:35.440><c> us</c><00:10:35.759><c> that</c>

00:10:35.980 --> 00:10:37.480
Esau<00:10:36.779><c> despised,</c>

00:10:37.659 --> 00:10:40.960
he<00:10:38.379><c> really</c><00:10:39.179><c> was</c><00:10:39.620><c> an</c><00:10:39.919><c> immoral</c><00:10:40.340><c> person</c><00:10:40.700><c> that</c><00:10:40.879><c> way.</c>

00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.539
He<00:10:41.039><c> didn't</c><00:10:41.179><c> care</c><00:10:41.460><c> about</c><00:10:41.720><c> the</c><00:10:41.919><c> promises</c><00:10:42.179><c> to</c><00:10:42.419><c> God.</c>

00:10:42.580 --> 00:10:44.240
He<00:10:42.679><c> didn't</c><00:10:42.840><c> love</c><00:10:43.139><c> the</c><00:10:43.419><c> truth</c><00:10:43.659><c> at</c><00:10:43.940><c> all.</c>

00:10:44.500 --> 00:10:47.340
So<00:10:44.740><c> there</c><00:10:44.919><c> really</c><00:10:45.240><c> was</c><00:10:45.399><c> a</c><00:10:45.639><c> difference</c><00:10:45.960><c> between</c><00:10:46.340><c> the</c><00:10:46.559><c> two.</c>

00:10:47.460 --> 00:10:50.840
We<00:10:47.639><c> find</c><00:10:47.840><c> in</c><00:10:48.000><c> Genesis</c><00:10:48.299><c> 27</c><00:10:48.980><c> that</c><00:10:49.279><c> Jacob</c><00:10:49.600><c> and</c><00:10:49.820><c> Rebecca</c><00:10:50.159><c> trick</c>

00:10:52.100 --> 00:10:55.659
And<00:10:52.759><c> yes,</c><00:10:53.220><c> it</c><00:10:53.279><c> is</c><00:10:53.580><c> true</c><00:10:53.879><c> that</c><00:10:54.120><c> Rebecca</c><00:10:54.559><c> was</c><00:10:55.100><c> right.</c>

00:10:56.139 --> 00:11:00.519
She<00:10:56.460><c> is</c><00:10:56.879><c> right</c><00:10:57.220><c> that</c><00:10:58.299><c> Jacob</c><00:10:58.740><c> should</c><00:10:59.139><c> get</c><00:10:59.419><c> the</c><00:10:59.659><c> blessing.</c>

00:11:00.620 --> 00:11:04.879
But<00:11:00.820><c> just</c><00:11:01.179><c> because</c><00:11:01.700><c> we</c><00:11:02.059><c> have</c><00:11:02.220><c> the</c><00:11:02.559><c> right</c><00:11:03.000><c> end</c><00:11:03.659><c> goal,</c><00:11:04.240><c> the</c><00:11:04.480><c> end</c>

00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:05.799
of<00:11:05.100><c> the</c><00:11:05.240><c> game</c><00:11:05.519><c> plan,</c>

00:11:06.179 --> 00:11:10.620
it<00:11:06.500><c> doesn't</c><00:11:07.100><c> justify</c><00:11:08.000><c> using</c><00:11:08.860><c> the</c><00:11:09.279><c> wrong</c><00:11:09.559><c> process.</c>

00:11:10.759 --> 00:11:13.759
That<00:11:10.919><c> is</c><00:11:11.200><c> so</c><00:11:11.559><c> hard</c><00:11:11.840><c> for</c><00:11:12.220><c> all</c><00:11:12.460><c> of</c><00:11:12.580><c> us</c><00:11:12.720><c> to</c><00:11:12.879><c> put</c><00:11:13.000><c> into</c><00:11:13.259><c> practice.</c>

00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:16.659
We<00:11:14.220><c> may</c><00:11:14.480><c> have</c><00:11:14.700><c> some</c><00:11:15.019><c> goal</c><00:11:15.259><c> out</c><00:11:15.500><c> there</c><00:11:15.639><c> that</c><00:11:15.759><c> we</c><00:11:15.899><c> think</c><00:11:16.100><c> is</c><00:11:16.399><c> the</c>

00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:17.179
right<00:11:16.899><c> goal,</c>

00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:19.139
that<00:11:17.379><c> what</c><00:11:17.519><c> God</c><00:11:17.759><c> wants,</c><00:11:18.080><c> we</c><00:11:18.200><c> know</c><00:11:18.340><c> what</c><00:11:18.519><c> God</c><00:11:18.779><c> wants,</c>

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:20.200
we<00:11:19.379><c> think</c><00:11:19.500><c> we</c><00:11:19.700><c> do</c><00:11:19.840><c> at</c><00:11:19.980><c> least.</c>

00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:23.580
And<00:11:20.639><c> so</c><00:11:20.960><c> we</c><00:11:21.139><c> end</c><00:11:21.399><c> up</c><00:11:21.580><c> going</c><00:11:21.740><c> through</c><00:11:21.980><c> a</c><00:11:22.139><c> process</c><00:11:22.559><c> where</c><00:11:22.759><c> we</c><00:11:23.139><c> use</c>

00:11:28.159 --> 00:11:30.480
You<00:11:28.279><c> see</c><00:11:28.440><c> this</c><00:11:28.659><c> happen</c><00:11:28.960><c> in</c><00:11:29.220><c> ecclesial</c><00:11:29.620><c> life</c><00:11:29.879><c> at</c><00:11:30.120><c> times.</c>

00:11:30.700 --> 00:11:33.139
You<00:11:30.779><c> see</c><00:11:30.879><c> this</c><00:11:31.120><c> happen</c><00:11:31.320><c> in</c><00:11:31.679><c> unity</c><00:11:32.039><c> discussions</c><00:11:32.600><c> where</c><00:11:32.840><c> people</c>

00:11:33.139 --> 00:11:33.820

00:11:33.820 --> 00:11:36.279

00:11:36.299 --> 00:11:38.879
Therefore,<00:11:36.980><c> it</c><00:11:37.139><c> doesn't</c><00:11:37.519><c> matter</c><00:11:37.879><c> how</c><00:11:38.120><c> we</c><00:11:38.320><c> get</c><00:11:38.460><c> there.</c>

00:11:39.159 --> 00:11:41.320
It<00:11:39.419><c> does</c><00:11:39.799><c> matter</c><00:11:40.179><c> how</c><00:11:40.559><c> we</c><00:11:40.779><c> get</c><00:11:40.980><c> there.</c>

00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:44.919
And<00:11:41.779><c> you</c><00:11:42.240><c> see</c><00:11:42.500><c> the</c><00:11:42.779><c> destruction</c><00:11:43.340><c> that</c><00:11:43.679><c> follows</c><00:11:44.059><c> in</c><00:11:44.460><c> the</c><00:11:44.659><c> wave</c>

00:11:52.980 --> 00:11:56.639
So<00:11:53.200><c> you</c><00:11:53.460><c> see</c><00:11:53.700><c> what</c><00:11:53.960><c> happens</c><00:11:54.360><c> in</c><00:11:54.759><c> Genesis</c><00:11:55.080><c> 27</c><00:11:55.659><c> at</c><00:11:55.860><c> verse</c><00:11:56.080><c> 19.</c>

00:11:56.759 --> 00:11:59.419
The<00:11:57.000><c> lies</c><00:11:57.399><c> that</c><00:11:57.580><c> are</c><00:11:57.679><c> there,</c><00:11:57.879><c> I</c><00:11:58.059><c> am</c><00:11:58.340><c> Esau,</c><00:11:58.700><c> your</c><00:11:58.879><c> firstborn.</c>

00:11:59.779 --> 00:12:03.639
The<00:12:00.039><c> Lord</c><00:12:00.279><c> your</c><00:12:00.500><c> God</c><00:12:00.779><c> brought</c><00:12:01.120><c> it</c><00:12:01.399><c> to</c><00:12:01.600><c> me,</c><00:12:01.799><c> he</c><00:12:02.039><c> says</c><00:12:02.419><c> in</c><00:12:02.980><c> verse</c><00:12:03.259><c> 20.</c>

00:12:03.659 --> 00:12:05.700

00:12:05.759 --> 00:12:07.220
And<00:12:05.899><c> he</c><00:12:05.919><c> says,</c><00:12:06.080><c> I</c><00:12:06.299><c> am.</c>

00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.899
And<00:12:07.779><c> later</c><00:12:08.039><c> on,</c><00:12:08.700><c> Jacob</c><00:12:08.759><c> finally</c><00:12:09.200><c> has</c><00:12:09.419><c> to,</c><00:12:10.120><c> or</c><00:12:10.340><c> Isaac</c><00:12:10.500><c> has</c><00:12:10.700><c> to</c>

00:12:10.899 --> 00:12:11.659
tell<00:12:11.200><c> Esau</c>

00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:13.759
that<00:12:11.879><c> your</c><00:12:12.159><c> brother</c><00:12:12.399><c> came</c><00:12:12.879><c> with</c><00:12:13.259><c> the</c><00:12:13.480><c> seat.</c>

00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.860
And<00:12:14.480><c> the</c><00:12:14.799><c> consequences,</c><00:12:15.840><c> brethren</c><00:12:15.980><c> and</c><00:12:16.200><c> sisters,</c><00:12:16.500><c> when</c><00:12:16.679><c> we</c>

00:12:16.860 --> 00:12:18.480
don't<00:12:17.279><c> wait</c><00:12:17.580><c> on</c><00:12:18.000><c> God,</c>

00:12:18.860 --> 00:12:22.860

00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:25.039
Other<00:12:23.220><c> people</c><00:12:23.460><c> have</c><00:12:23.639><c> to</c><00:12:23.740><c> come</c><00:12:23.940><c> along</c><00:12:24.200><c> later</c><00:12:24.440><c> on</c><00:12:24.600><c> and</c><00:12:24.700><c> pick</c><00:12:24.879><c> up</c>

00:12:25.039 --> 00:12:25.539
the<00:12:25.220><c> pieces</c>

00:12:25.539 --> 00:12:28.980
of<00:12:25.940><c> all</c><00:12:26.360><c> the</c><00:12:26.580><c> anger</c><00:12:26.960><c> and</c><00:12:27.139><c> the</c><00:12:27.340><c> jealousy</c><00:12:27.799><c> and</c><00:12:27.980><c> the</c><00:12:28.179><c> envy</c><00:12:28.419><c> that's</c><00:12:28.720><c> there</c>

00:12:28.980 --> 00:12:32.379
because<00:12:29.360><c> we</c><00:12:29.720><c> didn't</c><00:12:30.139><c> do</c><00:12:30.360><c> it</c><00:12:30.639><c> the</c><00:12:30.879><c> right</c><00:12:31.379><c> way.</c>

00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:33.899
That's<00:12:33.460><c> hard.</c>

00:12:34.080 --> 00:12:38.419
That's<00:12:34.519><c> so</c><00:12:34.919><c> hard</c><00:12:35.340><c> for</c><00:12:35.820><c> arranging</c><00:12:36.200><c> brethren,</c><00:12:36.799><c> for</c><00:12:36.940><c> moms</c><00:12:37.220><c> and</c><00:12:37.519><c> dads,</c>

00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:41.299
for<00:12:39.460><c> committees</c><00:12:39.980><c> when</c><00:12:40.240><c> you're</c><00:12:40.539><c> discussing</c><00:12:40.879><c> things.</c>

00:12:41.299 --> 00:12:44.320
We<00:12:41.840><c> want</c><00:12:42.940><c> the</c><00:12:43.299><c> end</c><00:12:43.460><c> result</c><00:12:43.779><c> so</c><00:12:44.139><c> bad.</c>

00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:46.200
We<00:12:44.539><c> think</c><00:12:44.740><c> for</c><00:12:44.980><c> sure</c><00:12:45.120><c> we</c><00:12:45.220><c> know</c><00:12:45.360><c> what</c><00:12:45.500><c> God</c><00:12:45.779><c> wants.</c>

00:12:46.299 --> 00:12:47.779
We<00:12:46.419><c> want</c><00:12:46.580><c> to</c><00:12:46.700><c> get</c><00:12:46.820><c> there</c><00:12:47.000><c> so</c><00:12:47.399><c> fast.</c>

00:12:48.139 --> 00:12:51.440
Sometimes<00:12:48.620><c> we</c><00:12:49.100><c> leave</c><00:12:49.399><c> a</c><00:12:49.659><c> wake</c><00:12:49.779><c> of</c><00:12:49.980><c> destruction</c><00:12:50.399><c> in</c><00:12:50.899><c> the</c><00:12:51.120><c> path</c>

00:12:51.440 --> 00:12:54.440
because<00:12:52.139><c> we're</c><00:12:52.399><c> convinced</c><00:12:52.899><c> that</c><00:12:53.120><c> the</c><00:12:53.320><c> ends</c><00:12:53.580><c> will</c><00:12:53.860><c> justify</c>

00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:55.019
the<00:12:54.700><c> means.</c>

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:56.620
And<00:12:55.379><c> it</c><00:12:55.580><c> doesn't,</c><00:12:56.259><c> biblically.</c>

00:12:56.620 --> 00:12:59.100
You<00:12:56.799><c> see</c><00:12:57.019><c> the</c><00:12:57.200><c> destruction</c><00:12:57.679><c> that</c><00:12:57.960><c> had</c><00:12:58.139><c> happened</c><00:12:58.399><c> in</c><00:12:58.580><c> this</c><00:12:58.799><c> family.</c>

00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:00.860
Look<00:12:59.580><c> what</c><00:12:59.740><c> happened</c><00:12:59.980><c> in</c><00:13:00.120><c> verse</c><00:13:00.360><c> 41.</c>

00:13:01.059 --> 00:13:04.940
That<00:13:01.240><c> Esau</c><00:13:01.700><c> hated</c><00:13:02.159><c> Jacob</c><00:13:02.720><c> and</c><00:13:03.340><c> wanted</c><00:13:03.679><c> to</c><00:13:04.039><c> kill</c><00:13:04.200><c> him.</c>

00:13:05.139 --> 00:13:06.700
There's<00:13:05.620><c> real</c><00:13:05.860><c> unity,</c><00:13:06.259><c> right?</c>

00:13:06.740 --> 00:13:08.740
When<00:13:06.919><c> you</c><00:13:07.419><c> approach</c><00:13:07.759><c> things</c><00:13:08.120><c> that</c><00:13:08.440><c> way.</c>

00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:10.379
In<00:13:09.200><c> the</c><00:13:09.259><c> end,</c><00:13:09.340><c> it</c><00:13:09.419><c> comes</c><00:13:09.659><c> back</c><00:13:09.899><c> to</c><00:13:10.039><c> bite</c><00:13:10.240><c> you.</c>

00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:13.980
It's<00:13:10.840><c> not</c><00:13:11.179><c> a</c><00:13:11.539><c> good</c><00:13:12.120><c> long</c><00:13:12.519><c>-term</c><00:13:12.879><c> solution.</c>

00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:18.259
You<00:13:14.320><c> find</c><00:13:14.600><c> that</c><00:13:15.120><c> Isaac</c><00:13:15.639><c> in</c><00:13:17.019><c> Genesis</c><00:13:17.500><c> 27,</c>

Esau<00:13:22.120><c> has</c><00:13:22.360><c> gone</c><00:13:22.639><c> and</c><00:13:22.919><c> found</c><00:13:23.259><c> these</c><00:13:23.539><c> other</c><00:13:23.740><c> wives</c><00:13:24.080><c> of</c><00:13:24.279><c> the</c><00:13:24.399><c> nations.</c>

This<00:13:25.100><c> isn't</c><00:13:25.360><c> the</c><00:13:25.539><c> way</c><00:13:25.720><c> it's</c><00:13:25.940><c> going</c><00:13:26.039><c> to</c><00:13:26.159><c> be</c><00:13:26.279><c> for</c><00:13:26.559><c> Jacob.</c>

But<00:14:02.820><c> you</c><00:14:02.960><c> notice</c><00:14:03.220><c> how</c><00:14:03.419><c> she</c><00:14:03.700><c> handles</c><00:14:04.059><c> this,</c>

00:14:04.419 --> 00:14:06.360
in<00:14:04.659><c> terms</c><00:14:04.960><c> of</c><00:14:05.399><c> our</c><00:14:05.620><c> wives</c><00:14:05.919><c> today.</c>

00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:09.179
She<00:14:06.799><c> doesn't</c><00:14:07.279><c> publicly</c><00:14:07.919><c> rebuke</c><00:14:08.480><c> him</c><00:14:08.600><c> like</c><00:14:08.940><c> that.</c>

00:14:09.179 --> 00:14:11.059
She<00:14:09.320><c> goes</c><00:14:09.559><c> in</c><00:14:09.820><c> and</c><00:14:10.019><c> discusses</c><00:14:10.600><c> with</c><00:14:10.759><c> him,</c>

00:14:14.860 --> 00:14:16.440
That<00:14:15.259><c> isn't</c><00:14:15.500><c> how</c><00:14:15.759><c> she</c><00:14:16.019><c> did</c><00:14:16.200><c> it.</c>

00:14:16.779 --> 00:14:18.120
And<00:14:17.000><c> she</c><00:14:17.159><c> talked</c><00:14:17.399><c> about</c><00:14:17.580><c> the</c><00:14:17.860><c> issue,</c>

00:14:19.980 --> 00:14:21.519
and<00:14:20.100><c> then</c><00:14:20.299><c> lets</c><00:14:20.539><c> Isaac</c><00:14:20.940><c> handle</c><00:14:21.240><c> it.</c>

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:23.259
And<00:14:22.059><c> that</c><00:14:22.399><c> was</c><00:14:22.559><c> her</c><00:14:22.820><c> approach.</c>

00:14:23.539 --> 00:14:26.600
I<00:14:23.960><c> think</c><00:14:24.179><c> that's</c><00:14:24.740><c> a</c><00:14:24.840><c> wise</c><00:14:25.159><c> approach</c><00:14:25.580><c> for</c><00:14:25.799><c> all</c><00:14:26.000><c> of</c><00:14:26.100><c> us</c><00:14:26.259><c> in</c><00:14:26.480><c> life.</c>

00:14:27.000 --> 00:14:30.620
It's<00:14:27.460><c> a</c><00:14:27.580><c> good</c><00:14:27.700><c> way</c><00:14:27.860><c> to</c><00:14:28.139><c> handle</c><00:14:28.399><c> a</c><00:14:28.580><c> lot</c><00:14:28.759><c> of</c><00:14:28.960><c> good</c><00:14:29.159><c> family</c><00:14:29.539><c> discussions.</c>

00:14:31.100 --> 00:14:33.379
So<00:14:31.320><c> you</c><00:14:31.500><c> find</c><00:14:31.799><c> out</c><00:14:32.000><c> Isaac</c><00:14:32.299><c> then</c><00:14:32.580><c> takes</c><00:14:32.860><c> the</c><00:14:33.120><c> charge.</c>

00:14:33.559 --> 00:14:34.960
He<00:14:33.840><c> takes</c><00:14:34.120><c> the</c><00:14:34.320><c> lead</c><00:14:34.480><c> and</c><00:14:34.679><c> says,</c>

00:14:47.440 --> 00:14:48.740
You're<00:14:47.659><c> not</c><00:14:47.899><c> going</c><00:14:48.039><c> to</c><00:14:48.220><c> take</c><00:14:48.360><c> a</c><00:14:48.580><c> wife</c>

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:54.559
It's<00:14:52.720><c> a</c><00:14:52.840><c> long</c><00:14:53.019><c> journey</c><00:14:53.360><c> to</c><00:14:53.539><c> go</c><00:14:53.740><c> back</c><00:14:53.899><c> up</c><00:14:54.059><c> in</c><00:14:54.200><c> there,</c>

00:15:13.899 --> 00:15:15.779
So<00:15:14.200><c> he</c><00:15:14.419><c> understands</c><00:15:15.100><c> the</c><00:15:15.379><c> promises.</c>

00:15:19.440 --> 00:15:21.799
and<00:15:19.940><c> Isaac</c><00:15:20.340><c> is</c><00:15:20.860><c> finally</c><00:15:21.179><c> coming</c><00:15:21.500><c> along.</c>

00:15:21.840 --> 00:15:22.899
He<00:15:22.000><c> takes</c><00:15:22.460><c> the</c><00:15:22.740><c> lead.</c>

00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:25.539
He<00:15:23.120><c> finally</c><00:15:23.480><c> steps</c><00:15:23.779><c> up</c><00:15:24.120><c> spiritually</c><00:15:24.500><c> to</c><00:15:24.720><c> where</c><00:15:24.840><c> he</c><00:15:25.059><c> should</c><00:15:25.179><c> be.</c>

00:15:25.799 --> 00:15:28.019
But<00:15:26.039><c> it</c><00:15:26.240><c> did</c><00:15:26.379><c> take</c><00:15:26.600><c> him</c><00:15:26.879><c> a</c><00:15:27.039><c> while</c><00:15:27.299><c> to</c><00:15:27.500><c> do</c><00:15:27.720><c> that.</c>

00:15:28.379 --> 00:15:30.460

to<00:15:51.720><c> areas</c><00:15:52.039><c> where</c><00:15:52.240><c> they</c><00:15:52.379><c> can</c><00:15:52.700><c> find</c><00:15:53.379><c> a</c><00:15:53.919><c> wife</c><00:15:54.200><c> or</c><00:15:54.539><c> a</c><00:15:54.700><c> husband</c><00:15:55.039><c> in</c>

00:15:55.539 --> 00:15:56.220
the<00:15:55.899><c> Lord.</c>

00:15:56.340 --> 00:15:58.039
That's<00:15:56.659><c> what</c><00:15:56.799><c> we</c><00:15:56.980><c> really</c><00:15:57.259><c> want.</c>

00:15:58.159 --> 00:16:00.600
And<00:15:58.360><c> some</c><00:15:58.620><c> situations</c><00:15:59.259><c> that</c><00:15:59.419><c> you're</c><00:15:59.679><c> involved</c><00:16:00.039><c> in</c><00:16:00.179><c> in</c><00:16:00.419><c> life,</c>

00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:02.899
it<00:16:00.860><c> may</c><00:16:01.080><c> mean</c><00:16:01.279><c> that</c><00:16:01.440><c> you</c><00:16:01.639><c> need</c><00:16:01.820><c> a</c><00:16:02.039><c> geographic</c><00:16:02.399><c> change.</c>

00:16:03.059 --> 00:16:05.279
Maybe<00:16:03.379><c> there</c><00:16:03.600><c> are</c><00:16:03.779><c> no</c><00:16:03.919><c> young</c><00:16:04.120><c> people</c><00:16:04.559><c> in</c><00:16:04.759><c> your</c><00:16:04.960><c> area.</c>

00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.220
There<00:16:05.679><c> are</c><00:16:05.940><c> no</c><00:16:06.179><c> folks</c><00:16:06.480><c> for</c><00:16:06.720><c> your</c><00:16:06.940><c> kids.</c>

00:16:07.620 --> 00:16:09.659
So<00:16:07.840><c> we've</c><00:16:08.200><c> got</c><00:16:08.399><c> to</c><00:16:08.639><c> get</c><00:16:08.779><c> them</c><00:16:09.039><c> to</c><00:16:09.299><c> places</c>

00:16:09.659 --> 00:16:11.919
where<00:16:09.879><c> they</c><00:16:10.080><c> can</c><00:16:10.360><c> find</c><00:16:10.700><c> spiritual</c><00:16:11.379><c> partners.</c>

00:16:12.340 --> 00:16:15.139
And<00:16:12.639><c> in</c><00:16:12.820><c> this</c><00:16:13.080><c> case,</c><00:16:13.279><c> it</c><00:16:13.440><c> may</c><00:16:13.659><c> involve</c><00:16:14.000><c> some</c><00:16:14.259><c> self</c><00:16:14.500><c>-sacrifice.</c>

00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:16.279
We<00:16:15.340><c> have</c><00:16:15.480><c> to</c><00:16:15.600><c> give</c><00:16:15.759><c> up</c><00:16:15.960><c> something.</c>

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:19.659
In<00:16:16.899><c> this</c><00:16:17.139><c> case</c><00:16:17.360><c> here,</c><00:16:18.399><c> Rebecca</c><00:16:18.879><c> is</c><00:16:19.320><c> willing</c>

00:16:19.659 --> 00:16:23.399
to<00:16:20.259><c> send</c><00:16:20.620><c> Jacob</c><00:16:21.019><c> away</c><00:16:21.419><c> like</c><00:16:21.720><c> this</c><00:16:21.980><c> to</c><00:16:22.100><c> get</c><00:16:22.279><c> a</c><00:16:22.460><c> spouse</c>

00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.139
and<00:16:24.159><c> she</c><00:16:24.379><c> never</c><00:16:24.720><c> sees</c><00:16:24.960><c> him</c><00:16:25.179><c> again.</c>

00:16:27.299 --> 00:16:29.700
That's<00:16:27.620><c> what</c><00:16:27.740><c> she</c><00:16:27.940><c> was</c><00:16:28.100><c> willing</c><00:16:28.320><c> to</c><00:16:28.559><c> do.</c>

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:32.039
There<00:16:30.440><c> are</c><00:16:30.679><c> some</c><00:16:30.960><c> costs</c><00:16:31.480><c> involved</c>

00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.659
and<00:16:32.700><c> that</c><00:16:33.080><c> may</c><00:16:33.259><c> be</c><00:16:33.399><c> what</c><00:16:33.620><c> happens</c><00:16:33.879><c> in</c><00:16:34.059><c> our</c><00:16:34.240><c> families.</c>

00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.340
But<00:16:35.100><c> it's</c><00:16:35.580><c> worth</c><00:16:35.879><c> it</c><00:16:36.299><c> because</c><00:16:36.620><c> you</c><00:16:36.820><c> care</c><00:16:37.059><c> about</c>

00:16:37.340 --> 00:16:39.799
the<00:16:37.580><c> spiritual</c><00:16:37.960><c> well</c><00:16:38.240><c>-being</c><00:16:38.440><c> in</c><00:16:38.620><c> the</c><00:16:38.700><c> long</c><00:16:38.980><c> term.</c>

00:16:39.940 --> 00:16:41.480
And<00:16:40.039><c> certainly</c><00:16:40.360><c> God</c><00:16:40.580><c> is</c><00:16:40.779><c> working</c><00:16:41.039><c> for</c><00:16:41.279><c> us.</c>

00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:42.860
You<00:16:41.620><c> keep</c><00:16:41.759><c> it</c><00:16:41.899><c> as</c><00:16:42.100><c> a</c><00:16:42.200><c> matter</c><00:16:42.399><c> of</c><00:16:42.639><c> prayer.</c>

00:16:43.000 --> 00:16:43.779
We<00:16:43.080><c> talk</c><00:16:43.320><c> to</c><00:16:43.500><c> God.</c>

00:16:43.879 --> 00:16:46.059
We<00:16:43.980><c> pray</c><00:16:44.259><c> for</c><00:16:44.440><c> his</c><00:16:44.659><c> help</c><00:16:44.899><c> as</c><00:16:45.320><c> they</c><00:16:45.620><c> did.</c>

00:16:46.539 --> 00:16:49.200
And<00:16:46.740><c> in</c><00:16:46.940><c> Genesis</c><00:16:47.240><c> 28,</c><00:16:47.720><c> you</c><00:16:47.940><c> find</c><00:16:48.179><c> out</c><00:16:48.379><c> this</c><00:16:48.580><c> is</c><00:16:48.700><c> what</c><00:16:48.879><c> Jacob</c>

00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:49.720
had<00:16:49.460><c> learned</c>

00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:50.519
from<00:16:49.919><c> his</c><00:16:50.200><c> parents.</c>

00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:54.059
He's<00:16:51.120><c> on</c><00:16:51.279><c> his</c><00:16:51.460><c> way</c><00:16:51.600><c> up</c><00:16:51.820><c> there</c><00:16:52.080><c> and</c><00:16:52.320><c> he</c><00:16:52.679><c> prays</c><00:16:53.080><c> for</c><00:16:53.279><c> God's</c><00:16:53.679><c> help.</c>

00:16:54.399 --> 00:16:56.120
When<00:16:54.679><c> he's</c><00:16:54.899><c> on</c><00:16:55.059><c> his</c><00:16:55.220><c> way</c><00:16:55.379><c> up</c><00:16:55.539><c> to</c><00:16:55.720><c> Paden</c><00:16:55.879><c> Arab,</c>

00:16:56.139 --> 00:16:57.759
he<00:16:56.299><c> doesn't</c><00:16:56.500><c> know</c><00:16:56.639><c> what</c><00:16:56.720><c> he's</c><00:16:56.919><c> getting</c><00:16:57.159><c> involved</c><00:16:57.580><c> in.</c>

00:16:57.879 --> 00:16:58.779
He<00:16:58.000><c> has</c><00:16:58.259><c> no</c><00:16:58.519><c> idea.</c>

00:16:59.179 --> 00:17:00.659
It's<00:16:59.259><c> all</c><00:16:59.259><c> scary</c><00:17:00.220><c> to</c><00:17:00.419><c> him.</c>

00:17:00.679 --> 00:17:03.700
He's<00:17:00.940><c> leaving</c><00:17:01.259><c> his</c><00:17:01.720><c> household,</c><00:17:02.259><c> his</c><00:17:02.519><c> family,</c><00:17:02.980><c> going</c><00:17:03.100><c> up</c><00:17:03.340><c> somewhere.</c>

00:17:03.700 --> 00:17:05.619
Long<00:17:04.420><c> trip</c><00:17:04.759><c> up</c><00:17:04.980><c> here</c><00:17:05.160><c> to</c><00:17:05.279><c> the</c><00:17:05.420><c> North,</c>

00:17:05.640 --> 00:17:08.279
meeting<00:17:05.920><c> people</c><00:17:06.279><c> he</c><00:17:06.500><c> probably</c><00:17:06.779><c> never</c><00:17:07.019><c> met</c><00:17:07.279><c> before.</c>

00:17:08.359 --> 00:17:11.339
But<00:17:08.480><c> God</c><00:17:08.700><c> gives</c><00:17:08.920><c> him</c><00:17:09.099><c> the</c><00:17:09.259><c> assurance</c><00:17:09.599><c> in</c><00:17:09.799><c> Genesis</c><00:17:10.119><c> 28</c><00:17:10.539><c> at</c><00:17:10.720><c> verse</c><00:17:10.920><c> 15</c>

00:17:11.339 --> 00:17:12.539
that<00:17:11.559><c> I</c><00:17:11.960><c> am</c><00:17:12.180><c> with</c><00:17:12.339><c> you.</c>

00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:15.339
Remember<00:17:12.839><c> when</c><00:17:12.940><c> he</c><00:17:13.220><c> sees</c><00:17:13.440><c> the</c><00:17:13.799><c> dream</c><00:17:14.079><c> about</c><00:17:14.380><c> the</c><00:17:14.599><c> ladder?</c>

00:17:15.380 --> 00:17:17.160
Did<00:17:15.440><c> you</c><00:17:15.440><c> ever</c><00:17:15.559><c> notice</c><00:17:15.900><c> out</c><00:17:16.079><c> on</c><00:17:16.259><c> the</c><00:17:16.420><c> ladder</c><00:17:16.599><c> that</c>

00:17:17.160 --> 00:17:19.980
the<00:17:17.420><c> angels</c><00:17:17.680><c> were</c><00:17:18.160><c> ascending</c><00:17:18.819><c> and</c><00:17:19.460><c> descending?</c>

00:17:20.180 --> 00:17:22.319
For<00:17:20.339><c> those</c><00:17:20.539><c> of</c><00:17:20.680><c> you</c><00:17:20.819><c> who</c><00:17:20.900><c> like</c><00:17:21.000><c> to</c><00:17:21.180><c> look</c><00:17:21.279><c> at</c><00:17:21.500><c> angels,</c>

00:17:22.619 --> 00:17:24.539
they<00:17:22.819><c> were</c><00:17:23.059><c> not</c><00:17:23.240><c> descending</c><00:17:23.779><c> and</c><00:17:24.019><c> ascending.</c>

00:17:24.720 --> 00:17:26.720
They<00:17:24.920><c> were</c><00:17:25.299><c> ascending</c><00:17:25.900><c> and</c><00:17:26.200><c> descending</c>

00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.640
because<00:17:27.339><c> they</c><00:17:27.700><c> were</c><00:17:28.059><c> there</c><00:17:28.519><c> with</c><00:17:29.140><c> Jacob</c><00:17:29.680><c> all</c><00:17:30.019><c> the</c><00:17:30.220><c> time.</c>

00:17:31.000 --> 00:17:32.960
Going<00:17:31.279><c> up</c><00:17:31.559><c> to</c><00:17:32.019><c> the</c><00:17:32.140><c> heavenly</c><00:17:32.460><c> council</c>

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.359
and<00:17:33.200><c> coming</c><00:17:33.460><c> back</c><00:17:33.819><c> down</c><00:17:34.019><c> again.</c>

00:17:34.619 --> 00:17:35.700
That's<00:17:34.900><c> what</c><00:17:35.039><c> he</c><00:17:35.339><c> sees.</c>

00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:37.680
And<00:17:36.019><c> that's</c><00:17:36.279><c> the</c><00:17:36.559><c> confidence</c><00:17:37.039><c> he</c><00:17:37.180><c> can</c><00:17:37.420><c> have</c>

00:17:37.680 --> 00:17:39.880
that<00:17:37.880><c> God</c><00:17:38.180><c> promises</c><00:17:38.680><c> that</c><00:17:38.940><c> he</c><00:17:39.059><c> will</c><00:17:39.180><c> be</c><00:17:39.359><c> with</c><00:17:39.579><c> him.</c>

00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:44.259
So<00:17:40.680><c> Jacob</c><00:17:40.940><c> makes</c><00:17:41.279><c> that</c><00:17:41.440><c> commitment</c><00:17:42.059><c> in</c><00:17:42.400><c> verse</c><00:17:42.640><c> 20</c><00:17:42.940><c> of</c><00:17:43.200><c> Genesis</c><00:17:43.660><c> 28</c>

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:46.460
that<00:17:44.460><c> if</c><00:17:44.640><c> you</c><00:17:44.880><c> bring</c><00:17:45.000><c> me</c><00:17:45.240><c> back</c><00:17:45.460><c> in</c><00:17:45.720><c> peace,</c>

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:48.259
then<00:17:46.960><c> Yahweh</c><00:17:47.319><c> will</c><00:17:47.559><c> be</c><00:17:47.680><c> my</c><00:17:47.940><c> God.</c>

00:17:56.059 --> 00:17:58.160
And<00:17:56.220><c> then</c><00:17:56.400><c> in</c><00:17:56.579><c> Genesis</c><00:17:56.880><c> 29,</c><00:17:57.400><c> you</c><00:17:57.539><c> know</c><00:17:57.640><c> the</c><00:17:57.900><c> story,</c>

00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:01.119
he<00:17:58.420><c> stops</c><00:17:58.619><c> at</c><00:17:58.799><c> the</c><00:17:58.960><c> well</c><00:17:59.200><c> and</c><00:17:59.400><c> Rachel</c><00:17:59.880><c> just</c><00:18:00.660><c> happens</c>

00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.599

00:18:04.079 --> 00:18:05.440
Coincidence,<00:18:04.980><c> no</c><00:18:05.160><c> way.</c>

00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:08.380
But<00:18:06.019><c> this</c><00:18:06.279><c> is</c><00:18:06.460><c> how</c><00:18:06.640><c> God</c><00:18:06.920><c> works</c><00:18:07.420><c> in</c><00:18:07.720><c> people's</c><00:18:08.200><c> lives</c>

00:18:08.380 --> 00:18:11.480
when<00:18:08.859><c> we're</c><00:18:09.420><c> looking</c><00:18:09.779><c> for</c><00:18:10.539><c> direction.</c>

00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.579
Now,<00:18:11.720><c> if</c><00:18:11.819><c> we're</c><00:18:11.900><c> just</c><00:18:12.220><c> scheming</c><00:18:12.559><c> our</c><00:18:12.759><c> way</c><00:18:12.900><c> through</c><00:18:13.160><c> life</c>

00:18:13.579 --> 00:18:16.339
and<00:18:13.799><c> we're</c><00:18:14.000><c> not</c><00:18:14.200><c> even</c><00:18:14.480><c> looking</c><00:18:14.799><c> for</c><00:18:15.180><c> God's</c><00:18:15.619><c> hand</c><00:18:15.880><c> in</c><00:18:16.079><c> it,</c>

00:18:16.539 --> 00:18:17.880
then<00:18:16.859><c> we</c><00:18:17.000><c> don't</c><00:18:17.160><c> even</c><00:18:17.440><c> notice</c>

00:18:17.880 --> 00:18:19.640
what<00:18:18.240><c> the</c><00:18:18.480><c> angels</c><00:18:18.640><c> are</c><00:18:18.859><c> doing</c><00:18:19.019><c> sometimes.</c>

00:18:20.019 --> 00:18:22.799
But<00:18:20.319><c> when</c><00:18:20.519><c> we</c><00:18:20.799><c> talk</c><00:18:20.980><c> to</c><00:18:21.180><c> God</c><00:18:21.460><c> and</c><00:18:21.599><c> we</c><00:18:21.779><c> ask</c><00:18:22.039><c> for</c><00:18:22.200><c> his</c><00:18:22.359><c> help,</c>

00:18:23.000 --> 00:18:24.539
then<00:18:23.259><c> he</c><00:18:23.500><c> does.</c>

00:18:25.099 --> 00:18:27.200
We<00:18:25.500><c> don't</c><00:18:25.740><c> really</c><00:18:26.099><c> need</c><00:18:26.440><c> to</c><00:18:26.680><c> do</c><00:18:26.839><c> it</c><00:18:27.019><c> all.</c>

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:29.640
We<00:18:27.480><c> can</c><00:18:27.740><c> commit</c><00:18:28.039><c> this</c><00:18:28.279><c> to</c><00:18:28.460><c> God</c><00:18:28.640><c> in</c><00:18:28.859><c> prayer.</c>

00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.119
It's<00:18:29.940><c> God,</c><00:18:30.480><c> as</c><00:18:30.599><c> Paul</c><00:18:30.880><c> says</c><00:18:31.180><c> in</c><00:18:31.380><c> Philippians</c><00:18:31.740><c> 2.</c>

00:18:32.519 --> 00:18:34.880
It<00:18:32.579><c> is</c><00:18:32.720><c> God</c><00:18:33.019><c> who</c><00:18:33.279><c> works</c><00:18:33.599><c> in</c><00:18:33.859><c> you</c><00:18:34.119><c> both</c><00:18:34.420><c> to</c><00:18:34.660><c> will</c>

00:18:38.019 --> 00:18:41.480
So<00:18:38.279><c> he</c><00:18:38.420><c> meets</c><00:18:38.660><c> up</c><00:18:38.880><c> with</c><00:18:39.059><c> Rachel,</c><00:18:39.480><c> makes</c><00:18:39.740><c> a</c><00:18:39.980><c> deal</c><00:18:40.119><c> with</c><00:18:40.400><c> Laban,</c><00:18:41.000><c> right?</c>

00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.380
Seven<00:18:41.960><c> years</c><00:18:42.319><c> are</c><00:18:42.480><c> going</c><00:18:42.599><c> to</c><00:18:42.720><c> work</c><00:18:42.859><c> for</c><00:18:43.079><c> Rachel.</c>

00:18:43.519 --> 00:18:45.759
Seven<00:18:43.960><c> years</c><00:18:44.579><c> he</c><00:18:44.940><c> waits.</c>

00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:47.299
He's<00:18:46.160><c> picked</c><00:18:46.339><c> out</c><00:18:46.619><c> his</c><00:18:46.859><c> spouse.</c>

00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:49.420
He's<00:18:47.880><c> praying</c><00:18:48.160><c> for</c><00:18:48.380><c> God's</c><00:18:48.880><c> blessing</c><00:18:49.019><c> on</c><00:18:49.279><c> this.</c>

00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:51.220
It<00:18:49.579><c> looks</c><00:18:49.759><c> like</c><00:18:50.079><c> everything's</c><00:18:50.619><c> working</c><00:18:50.799><c> out.</c>

00:18:51.640 --> 00:18:54.539
Seven<00:18:52.059><c> long</c><00:18:52.440><c> years</c><00:18:52.940><c> for</c><00:18:53.160><c> most</c><00:18:53.400><c> of</c><00:18:53.579><c> you</c><00:18:53.720><c> guys</c><00:18:54.000><c> back</c><00:18:54.279><c> there</c>

00:18:58.119 --> 00:19:03.039
But<00:18:58.920><c> Jacob</c><00:18:59.440><c> waits</c><00:19:00.000><c> and</c><00:19:00.440><c> he</c><00:19:00.660><c> waits,</c><00:19:01.140><c> puts</c><00:19:01.380><c> in</c><00:19:01.539><c> his</c><00:19:01.740><c> seven</c><00:19:02.039><c> years.</c>

Find<00:19:50.519><c> out</c><00:19:50.700><c> if</c><00:19:50.819><c> it</c><00:19:51.079><c> works.</c>

00:19:52.059 --> 00:19:54.180
That's<00:19:52.440><c> how</c><00:19:52.680><c> people</c><00:19:53.039><c> of</c><00:19:53.220><c> this</c><00:19:53.519><c> world</c><00:19:53.740><c> reason.</c>

00:19:54.180 --> 00:19:59.420
But<00:19:54.920><c> that</c><00:19:55.420><c> doesn't</c><00:19:56.240><c> engender</c><00:19:57.140><c> faith</c><00:19:57.619><c> and</c><00:19:58.200><c> trust</c><00:19:58.619><c> in</c><00:19:58.980><c> God.</c>

00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.299
It<00:19:59.980><c> doesn't</c><00:20:00.240><c> teach</c><00:20:00.539><c> the</c><00:20:00.880><c> children</c><00:20:01.259><c> that</c><00:20:01.460><c> this</c><00:20:01.700><c> is</c><00:20:01.920><c> how</c><00:20:02.200><c> it</c><00:20:02.400><c> works.</c>

00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:07.039
And<00:20:03.420><c> so</c><00:20:03.700><c> God's</c><00:20:04.660><c> philosophy</c><00:20:05.279><c> of</c><00:20:05.640><c> life</c><00:20:05.960><c> is</c><00:20:06.299><c> so</c><00:20:06.779><c> different</c>

00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:09.559
It's<00:20:09.019><c> so</c><00:20:09.299><c> different.</c>

00:20:09.579 --> 00:20:12.559
And<00:20:09.720><c> if</c><00:20:09.859><c> we're</c><00:20:10.279><c> not</c><00:20:10.480><c> careful,</c><00:20:11.460><c> this</c><00:20:11.720><c> world's</c><00:20:12.299><c> philosophy</c>

00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:15.200
just<00:20:12.900><c> sort</c><00:20:13.119><c> of</c><00:20:13.400><c> seeps</c><00:20:13.619><c> into</c><00:20:14.019><c> our</c><00:20:14.299><c> minds</c><00:20:14.599><c> over</c><00:20:14.940><c> time</c>

00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:16.700
and<00:20:15.319><c> we</c><00:20:15.480><c> end</c><00:20:15.640><c> up</c><00:20:15.799><c> thinking</c><00:20:15.980><c> it's</c><00:20:16.259><c> okay.</c>

00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:18.420
Sounds<00:20:17.299><c> all</c><00:20:17.579><c> right,</c><00:20:17.880><c> sounds</c><00:20:18.200><c> good.</c>

00:20:18.420 --> 00:20:20.519
Let's<00:20:18.680><c> try</c><00:20:18.900><c> it</c><00:20:19.099><c> out,</c><00:20:19.259><c> see</c><00:20:19.380><c> if</c><00:20:19.480><c> it</c><00:20:19.700><c> works.</c>

00:20:20.579 --> 00:20:22.559
But<00:20:20.819><c> God's</c><00:20:21.299><c> looking</c><00:20:21.519><c> for</c><00:20:21.900><c> commitment.</c>

00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:25.759
He's<00:20:23.259><c> looking</c><00:20:23.460><c> for</c><00:20:23.720><c> people</c><00:20:24.059><c> who</c><00:20:24.500><c> trust</c><00:20:25.099><c> people</c>

00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:29.160
who<00:20:26.160><c> make</c><00:20:26.359><c> a</c><00:20:26.720><c> commitment</c><00:20:27.140><c> to</c><00:20:27.660><c> stick</c><00:20:27.859><c> it</c><00:20:28.059><c> out</c><00:20:28.259><c> no</c><00:20:28.420><c> matter</c><00:20:28.779><c> what.</c>

00:20:29.539 --> 00:20:31.240
That's<00:20:30.039><c> what</c><00:20:30.240><c> he's</c><00:20:30.640><c> looking</c><00:20:30.859><c> for.</c>

00:20:31.319 --> 00:20:33.019
And<00:20:31.579><c> that's</c><00:20:31.799><c> how</c><00:20:31.940><c> he</c><00:20:32.119><c> uses</c><00:20:32.440><c> marriage.</c>

00:20:33.339 --> 00:20:34.720
And<00:20:33.619><c> so</c><00:20:33.980><c> they</c><00:20:34.279><c> waited.</c>

00:20:35.079 --> 00:20:37.279
Jacob<00:20:35.460><c> waits</c><00:20:35.859><c> the</c><00:20:36.220><c> seven</c><00:20:36.539><c> years.</c>

00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:40.859
And<00:20:37.799><c> I</c><00:20:37.960><c> think</c><00:20:38.140><c> it's</c><00:20:38.420><c> a</c><00:20:38.599><c> great</c><00:20:38.740><c> example</c><00:20:39.319><c> to</c><00:20:39.559><c> all</c><00:20:40.000><c> of</c><00:20:40.220><c> us</c><00:20:40.460><c> at</c><00:20:40.640><c> least.</c>

00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:44.960
There<00:20:41.339><c> was</c><00:20:41.579><c> an</c><00:20:41.859><c> article</c><00:20:42.160><c> that</c><00:20:42.380><c> came</c><00:20:42.599><c> out</c><00:20:42.819><c> back</c><00:20:43.140><c> in</c><00:20:43.460><c> 2006</c><00:20:44.400><c> or</c><00:20:44.779><c> so</c>

00:20:44.960 --> 00:20:47.019
but<00:20:45.119><c> they</c><00:20:45.339><c> had</c><00:20:45.480><c> done</c><00:20:45.640><c> some</c><00:20:45.920><c> research</c><00:20:46.319><c> with</c><00:20:46.539><c> some</c><00:20:46.740><c> of</c><00:20:46.859><c> the</c>

00:20:47.019 --> 00:20:47.920
older<00:20:47.319><c> Americans</c>

00:20:47.920 --> 00:20:52.359
and<00:20:48.519><c> found</c><00:20:48.819><c> out</c><00:20:49.119><c> that</c><00:20:49.420><c> 95</c><00:20:49.880><c>%</c><00:20:50.359><c> of</c><00:20:50.680><c> Americans</c><00:20:51.079><c> had</c><00:20:51.380><c> premarital</c><00:20:51.940><c> sex</c>

00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:54.579
and<00:20:52.920><c> to</c><00:20:53.200><c> everybody's</c><00:20:53.920><c> surprise,</c>

00:20:54.940 --> 00:20:57.619
it<00:20:54.980><c> wasn't</c><00:20:55.279><c> just</c><00:20:55.680><c> the</c><00:20:55.880><c> people</c><00:20:56.180><c> of</c><00:20:56.500><c> this</c><00:20:56.859><c> generation.</c>

00:20:57.980 --> 00:21:01.279
It<00:20:58.180><c> actually</c><00:20:58.579><c> went</c><00:20:58.960><c> back</c><00:20:59.299><c> way</c><00:20:59.640><c> back</c><00:21:00.039><c> into</c><00:21:00.279><c> the</c><00:21:00.500><c> past</c><00:21:00.759><c> in</c><00:21:01.000><c> America.</c>

00:21:01.339 --> 00:21:03.799
It<00:21:01.420><c> was</c><00:21:01.619><c> back</c><00:21:01.859><c> in</c><00:21:02.039><c> the</c><00:21:02.160><c> 1940s</c><00:21:03.099><c> and</c><00:21:03.220><c> the</c><00:21:03.420><c> 50s</c>

00:21:03.799 --> 00:21:06.500
and<00:21:03.920><c> it</c><00:21:04.019><c> was</c><00:21:04.220><c> all</c><00:21:04.460><c> happening</c><00:21:04.759><c> but</c><00:21:05.059><c> nobody</c><00:21:05.579><c> said</c><00:21:05.980><c> anything</c>

00:21:06.500 --> 00:21:07.720
back<00:21:06.900><c> then.</c>

00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.819
It's<00:21:08.240><c> very</c><00:21:08.640><c> difficult</c><00:21:09.380><c> for</c><00:21:09.640><c> people</c><00:21:10.000><c> to</c><00:21:10.240><c> trust</c><00:21:10.500><c> God.</c>

00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:13.119
God's<00:21:11.640><c> ways</c><00:21:11.940><c> are</c><00:21:12.299><c> not</c><00:21:12.519><c> our</c><00:21:12.759><c> ways.</c>

00:21:13.319 --> 00:21:13.940
They're<00:21:13.619><c> different.</c>

00:21:14.019 --> 00:21:16.660
He's<00:21:14.440><c> operating</c><00:21:14.819><c> on</c><00:21:15.019><c> a</c><00:21:15.319><c> different</c><00:21:15.720><c> plane.</c>

00:21:16.779 --> 00:21:18.619
And<00:21:17.039><c> if</c><00:21:17.400><c> we're</c><00:21:17.539><c> not</c><00:21:17.720><c> reading</c><00:21:18.099><c> the</c><00:21:18.259><c> scriptures</c>

00:21:18.619 --> 00:21:20.960
and<00:21:18.859><c> doing</c><00:21:19.019><c> our</c><00:21:19.240><c> daily</c><00:21:19.480><c> readings,</c><00:21:20.079><c> sometimes</c><00:21:20.440><c> you</c><00:21:20.640><c> miss</c><00:21:20.839><c> it.</c>

00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.759
You<00:21:21.059><c> don't</c><00:21:21.480><c> see</c><00:21:21.880><c> what</c><00:21:22.119><c> God's</c><00:21:22.460><c> after.</c>

00:21:23.140 --> 00:21:25.759
And<00:21:23.220><c> we</c><00:21:23.359><c> just</c><00:21:23.599><c> look</c><00:21:23.799><c> at</c><00:21:24.019><c> life</c><00:21:24.259><c> from</c><00:21:24.559><c> a</c><00:21:24.779><c> humanistic</c><00:21:25.200><c> perspective</c>

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:27.259
and<00:21:25.980><c> that's</c><00:21:26.200><c> what</c><00:21:26.339><c> we</c><00:21:26.539><c> do.</c>

00:21:27.619 --> 00:21:31.259
So<00:21:28.039><c> what</c><00:21:28.400><c> God's</c><00:21:28.799><c> going</c><00:21:28.900><c> to</c><00:21:29.000><c> do</c><00:21:29.140><c> now</c><00:21:29.480><c> is</c><00:21:29.660><c> he's</c><00:21:29.940><c> going</c><00:21:30.119><c> to</c><00:21:30.460><c> teach</c><00:21:30.799><c> Jacob.</c>

00:21:31.539 --> 00:21:33.460
You<00:21:31.680><c> can</c><00:21:31.799><c> imagine</c><00:21:32.000><c> how</c><00:21:32.220><c> the</c><00:21:32.460><c> angels</c><00:21:32.680><c> had</c><00:21:32.920><c> discussions</c>

00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:36.319
about<00:21:33.859><c> how</c><00:21:34.279><c> are</c><00:21:34.500><c> we</c><00:21:34.500><c> ever</c><00:21:34.720><c> going</c><00:21:34.859><c> to</c><00:21:34.940><c> get</c><00:21:35.099><c> this</c><00:21:35.480><c> schemer</c>

00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:38.700
to<00:21:37.000><c> learn</c><00:21:37.539><c> how</c><00:21:37.839><c> to</c><00:21:38.119><c> trust</c><00:21:38.380><c> us.</c>

00:21:39.140 --> 00:21:40.160
How<00:21:39.299><c> can</c><00:21:39.480><c> we</c><00:21:39.640><c> do</c><00:21:39.839><c> this?</c>

00:21:40.420 --> 00:21:43.599
And<00:21:40.759><c> what</c><00:21:40.960><c> a</c><00:21:41.259><c> great</c><00:21:41.400><c> way</c><00:21:41.599><c> to</c><00:21:41.779><c> do</c><00:21:41.900><c> it</c><00:21:42.099><c> is,</c><00:21:42.599><c> you</c><00:21:42.839><c> look</c><00:21:43.059><c> at</c><00:21:43.180><c> the</c><00:21:43.440><c> plan,</c>

00:21:43.640 --> 00:21:45.140
the<00:21:43.819><c> overall</c><00:21:44.099><c> plan</c><00:21:44.440><c> of</c><00:21:44.559><c> what's</c><00:21:44.839><c> happening.</c>

00:21:45.380 --> 00:21:47.880
They<00:21:45.640><c> lead</c><00:21:45.880><c> Jacob</c><00:21:46.240><c> in</c><00:21:46.420><c> a</c><00:21:46.599><c> direction</c><00:21:46.900><c> where</c><00:21:47.339><c> mom</c><00:21:47.579><c> and</c><00:21:47.759><c> dad</c>

And<00:21:56.759><c> Jacob</c><00:21:57.079><c> has</c><00:21:57.420><c> to</c><00:21:57.759><c> face</c><00:21:57.980><c> himself</c><00:21:58.599><c> in</c><00:21:58.880><c> Laban.</c>

00:21:59.460 --> 00:22:00.779
It's<00:21:59.740><c> a</c><00:22:00.059><c> great</c><00:22:00.339><c> story.</c>

00:22:01.240 --> 00:22:04.200
And<00:22:01.339><c> so</c><00:22:01.539><c> he</c><00:22:01.720><c> has</c><00:22:01.960><c> to</c><00:22:02.420><c> argue</c><00:22:03.039><c> his</c><00:22:03.339><c> case.</c>

00:22:04.299 --> 00:22:05.140
Here<00:22:04.740><c> he</c><00:22:04.960><c> is.</c>

00:22:05.339 --> 00:22:06.420
He's<00:22:05.359><c> waited</c><00:22:05.579><c> his</c><00:22:05.839><c> seven</c><00:22:06.079><c> years.</c>

00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:08.339
They<00:22:06.740><c> probably</c><00:22:07.059><c> had</c><00:22:07.259><c> a</c><00:22:07.480><c> feast</c><00:22:07.720><c> that</c><00:22:08.019><c> day.</c>

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:10.400
Jacob<00:22:09.000><c> probably</c><00:22:09.480><c> drank</c><00:22:09.799><c> too</c><00:22:10.140><c> much.</c>

00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:12.380
He<00:22:10.839><c> goes</c><00:22:11.140><c> into</c><00:22:11.359><c> the</c><00:22:11.599><c> woman</c><00:22:11.819><c> in</c><00:22:12.099><c> the</c><00:22:12.240><c> tent</c>

00:22:12.380 --> 00:22:14.059
and<00:22:12.640><c> before</c><00:22:12.920><c> he</c><00:22:13.099><c> knows</c><00:22:13.339><c> it</c><00:22:13.519><c> in</c><00:22:13.660><c> the</c><00:22:13.799><c> morning,</c>

00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:15.759
he<00:22:14.299><c> finds</c><00:22:14.559><c> out</c><00:22:14.799><c> it's</c><00:22:15.059><c> Leah.</c>

00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:18.200
And<00:22:16.099><c> you</c><00:22:16.220><c> look</c><00:22:16.440><c> at</c><00:22:16.599><c> the</c><00:22:16.819><c> story</c><00:22:17.079><c> and</c><00:22:17.380><c> to</c><00:22:17.680><c> some</c><00:22:17.900><c> extent</c>

00:22:18.200 --> 00:22:19.519
you<00:22:18.299><c> can</c><00:22:18.519><c> sort</c><00:22:18.740><c> of</c><00:22:18.900><c> laugh</c><00:22:19.099><c> at</c><00:22:19.359><c> it.</c>

00:22:19.859 --> 00:22:21.680
But<00:22:19.859><c> Jacob's</c><00:22:20.799><c> living</c><00:22:20.940><c> through</c><00:22:21.319><c> this.</c>

00:22:22.140 --> 00:22:23.980
To<00:22:22.380><c> him</c><00:22:22.599><c> it</c><00:22:22.720><c> was</c><00:22:23.079><c> a</c><00:22:23.200><c> disaster.</c>

00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:25.900
This<00:22:24.400><c> isn't</c><00:22:24.759><c> the</c><00:22:25.019><c> wife</c><00:22:25.220><c> that</c><00:22:25.420><c> he</c><00:22:25.640><c> wanted.</c>

00:22:26.220 --> 00:22:27.700
This<00:22:26.380><c> isn't</c><00:22:26.660><c> what</c><00:22:26.900><c> he</c><00:22:27.200><c> was</c><00:22:27.440><c> after.</c>

00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.339
This<00:22:27.920><c> isn't</c><00:22:28.079><c> what</c><00:22:28.220><c> he</c><00:22:28.380><c> had</c><00:22:28.579><c> done</c><00:22:28.779><c> for</c><00:22:29.079><c> seven</c><00:22:29.380><c> years.</c>

00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:32.819
But<00:22:30.640><c> in</c><00:22:31.700><c> the</c><00:22:31.900><c> next</c><00:22:32.160><c> few</c><00:22:32.400><c> days,</c>

00:22:32.859 --> 00:22:35.099
he<00:22:33.059><c> probably</c><00:22:33.400><c> had</c><00:22:33.579><c> to</c><00:22:33.839><c> think</c><00:22:34.019><c> about</c><00:22:34.299><c> the</c><00:22:34.519><c> fact</c><00:22:34.720><c> that,</c>

00:22:35.099 --> 00:22:37.619
oh<00:22:35.380><c> my</c><00:22:35.660><c> goodness,</c><00:22:36.039><c> God</c><00:22:36.299><c> is</c><00:22:36.559><c> making</c><00:22:36.799><c> me</c><00:22:37.180><c> face</c>

00:22:37.619 --> 00:22:40.160
what<00:22:38.180><c> I</c><00:22:38.440><c> had</c><00:22:38.619><c> done</c><00:22:38.740><c> to</c><00:22:38.920><c> my</c><00:22:39.200><c> brother.</c>

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:42.140
The<00:22:40.680><c> way</c><00:22:40.859><c> I</c><00:22:40.960><c> was</c><00:22:41.160><c> operating</c><00:22:41.640><c> in</c><00:22:41.920><c> life</c>

00:22:42.140 --> 00:22:45.039
and<00:22:42.359><c> now</c><00:22:42.500><c> I'm</c><00:22:42.640><c> facing</c><00:22:42.980><c> it</c><00:22:43.180><c> and</c><00:22:43.240><c> getting</c><00:22:43.400><c> to</c><00:22:43.640><c> see</c><00:22:43.759><c> the</c><00:22:43.920><c> other</c><00:22:44.180><c> side.</c>

00:22:45.059 --> 00:22:46.619
It's<00:22:45.220><c> like</c><00:22:45.420><c> Joseph's</c><00:22:45.880><c> brothers</c><00:22:46.059><c> later</c><00:22:46.400><c> on</c>

00:22:46.619 --> 00:22:48.279
they<00:22:46.859><c> finally</c><00:22:47.119><c> realize</c><00:22:47.660><c> and</c><00:22:47.779><c> they</c><00:22:48.039><c> find</c>

00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:50.180
all<00:22:48.980><c> the</c><00:22:49.220><c> stuff</c><00:22:49.380><c> in</c><00:22:49.720><c> the</c><00:22:49.900><c> bags.</c>

00:22:50.319 --> 00:22:51.960
They<00:22:50.319><c> say,</c><00:22:50.460><c> oh,</c><00:22:50.900><c> God's</c><00:22:51.440><c> visiting</c><00:22:51.660><c> us</c>

00:22:51.960 --> 00:22:53.200
for<00:22:52.099><c> what</c><00:22:52.240><c> we've</c><00:22:52.480><c> done</c><00:22:52.579><c> in</c><00:22:52.740><c> the</c><00:22:52.900><c> past.</c>

00:22:53.700 --> 00:22:55.200
This<00:22:53.940><c> is</c><00:22:54.099><c> what</c><00:22:54.339><c> angels</c><00:22:54.599><c> have</c><00:22:54.880><c> to</c><00:22:55.059><c> do.</c>

00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.059
This<00:22:55.400><c> is</c><00:22:55.619><c> the</c><00:22:55.779><c> challenge</c><00:22:56.299><c> of</c><00:22:56.660><c> parenting</c>

00:22:57.059 --> 00:22:58.819
the<00:22:57.579><c> mortals</c><00:22:58.000><c> of</c><00:22:58.180><c> this</c><00:22:58.460><c> world</c>

00:22:58.819 --> 00:23:01.660
is<00:22:59.279><c> how</c><00:22:59.539><c> do</c><00:22:59.759><c> you</c><00:23:00.039><c> make</c><00:23:00.460><c> the</c><00:23:00.839><c> spiritual</c><00:23:01.180><c> people</c>

00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:02.740
face<00:23:02.059><c> their</c><00:23:02.339><c> weaknesses?</c>

00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:04.799
And<00:23:03.539><c> one</c><00:23:03.680><c> of</c><00:23:03.819><c> the</c><00:23:03.880><c> ways</c><00:23:04.140><c> to</c><00:23:04.380><c> do</c><00:23:04.539><c> it</c>

00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:06.519
is<00:23:05.019><c> to</c><00:23:05.299><c> make</c><00:23:05.480><c> them</c><00:23:05.799><c> face</c><00:23:06.099><c> somebody</c>

00:23:06.519 --> 00:23:08.400
who<00:23:06.880><c> operates</c><00:23:07.400><c> the</c><00:23:07.839><c> same</c><00:23:08.079><c> way.</c>

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:10.799
And<00:23:08.960><c> all</c><00:23:09.180><c> of</c><00:23:09.420><c> a</c><00:23:09.480><c> sudden</c><00:23:09.640><c> you</c><00:23:09.859><c> start</c><00:23:10.079><c> to</c><00:23:10.339><c> find</c><00:23:10.559><c> out,</c>

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.019
oh,<00:23:11.059><c> I</c><00:23:11.240><c> don't</c><00:23:11.480><c> like</c><00:23:11.680><c> that.</c>

00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:13.720
I<00:23:12.700><c> didn't</c><00:23:12.960><c> appreciate</c><00:23:13.480><c> that.</c>

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:15.900
That<00:23:13.920><c> doesn't</c><00:23:14.119><c> make</c><00:23:14.279><c> me</c><00:23:14.559><c> like</c><00:23:14.859><c> you</c><00:23:15.099><c> or</c><00:23:15.299><c> love</c><00:23:15.539><c> you</c>

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:17.339
or<00:23:16.099><c> want</c><00:23:16.440><c> to</c><00:23:16.539><c> even</c><00:23:16.720><c> work</c><00:23:16.920><c> with</c><00:23:17.160><c> you</c>

00:23:17.339 --> 00:23:18.559
when<00:23:17.500><c> you</c><00:23:17.680><c> treat</c><00:23:17.819><c> me</c><00:23:18.019><c> like</c><00:23:18.240><c> that.</c>

00:23:18.819 --> 00:23:20.200
Then<00:23:19.000><c> you</c><00:23:19.180><c> realize,</c><00:23:19.819><c> oh,</c>

00:23:20.339 --> 00:23:21.980
I've<00:23:20.660><c> been</c><00:23:20.839><c> doing</c><00:23:21.000><c> that</c><00:23:21.200><c> with</c><00:23:21.339><c> other</c><00:23:21.539><c> people.</c>

00:23:22.339 --> 00:23:23.400
They<00:23:22.519><c> don't</c><00:23:22.720><c> like</c><00:23:22.839><c> it</c><00:23:23.059><c> either.</c>

00:23:23.839 --> 00:23:25.460
We<00:23:24.180><c> finally</c><00:23:24.599><c> start</c><00:23:24.920><c> to</c><00:23:25.200><c> learn.</c>

00:23:25.619 --> 00:23:26.819
So<00:23:25.880><c> that's</c><00:23:26.200><c> one</c><00:23:26.359><c> of</c><00:23:26.500><c> the</c><00:23:26.599><c> ways</c>

00:23:26.819 --> 00:23:29.200
God<00:23:27.079><c> can</c><00:23:27.339><c> make</c><00:23:27.480><c> us</c><00:23:27.819><c> face</c><00:23:28.099><c> our</c><00:23:28.359><c> weaknesses.</c>

00:23:29.339 --> 00:23:30.500
And<00:23:29.539><c> so</c><00:23:29.759><c> what</c><00:23:29.980><c> you</c><00:23:30.140><c> do</c><00:23:30.279><c> is,</c>

00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.119
you<00:23:31.200><c> don't</c><00:23:31.420><c> react</c><00:23:31.799><c> anymore</c><00:23:32.079><c> with</c><00:23:32.380><c> anger.</c>

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:35.119
It's<00:23:33.579><c> not</c><00:23:33.759><c> like</c><00:23:34.000><c> you</c><00:23:34.180><c> get</c><00:23:34.279><c> mad</c><00:23:34.500><c> at</c><00:23:34.740><c> God.</c>

00:23:35.460 --> 00:23:36.200
Jacob<00:23:35.680><c> could</c><00:23:35.940><c> have.</c>

00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:37.160
He<00:23:36.619><c> could</c><00:23:36.720><c> have</c><00:23:36.880><c> right</c><00:23:37.019><c> now,</c>

00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:38.819
he<00:23:37.259><c> could</c><00:23:37.359><c> have</c><00:23:37.460><c> been</c><00:23:37.660><c> so</c><00:23:38.099><c> angry</c><00:23:38.380><c> at</c><00:23:38.599><c> God</c>

00:23:38.819 --> 00:23:39.740
for<00:23:39.019><c> letting</c><00:23:39.200><c> this</c><00:23:39.460><c> happen.</c>

00:23:40.180 --> 00:23:40.859
I<00:23:40.259><c> mean,</c><00:23:40.359><c> you</c><00:23:40.359><c> get</c><00:23:40.519><c> into</c><00:23:40.700><c> that,</c>

00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:42.460

00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:44.880
They<00:23:42.839><c> look</c><00:23:43.059><c> at</c><00:23:43.240><c> this</c><00:23:43.380><c> and</c><00:23:43.519><c> you</c><00:23:43.680><c> think</c><00:23:43.839><c> after</c><00:23:44.160><c> seven</c><00:23:44.559><c> years</c>

00:23:44.880 --> 00:23:45.940
you<00:23:45.140><c> wake</c><00:23:45.319><c> up</c><00:23:45.460><c> in</c><00:23:45.599><c> the</c><00:23:45.720><c> morning</c>

00:23:47.819 --> 00:23:50.200
The<00:23:48.019><c> natural</c><00:23:48.579><c> tendency</c><00:23:49.079><c> of</c><00:23:49.339><c> the</c><00:23:49.599><c> human</c><00:23:49.859><c> mind</c>

00:23:52.660 --> 00:23:55.039
You're<00:23:52.880><c> angry</c><00:23:53.200><c> at</c><00:23:53.440><c> Laban,</c><00:23:53.980><c> angry</c><00:23:54.400><c> at</c><00:23:54.740><c> Leah.</c>

00:23:55.220 --> 00:23:57.559
He's<00:23:55.480><c> angry</c><00:23:55.720><c> at</c><00:23:55.940><c> God</c><00:23:56.259><c> for</c><00:23:56.480><c> letting</c><00:23:56.700><c> it</c><00:23:56.920><c> all</c><00:23:57.059><c> occur.</c>

00:23:57.900 --> 00:24:00.700
And<00:23:58.400><c> this</c><00:23:58.740><c> is</c><00:23:59.180><c> the</c><00:23:59.420><c> challenge</c><00:23:59.759><c> that</c><00:23:59.940><c> we</c><00:24:00.039><c> have</c><00:24:00.200><c> to</c><00:24:00.420><c> face.</c>

00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:03.059
Is<00:24:01.279><c> God</c><00:24:01.720><c> involved</c><00:24:02.299><c> in</c><00:24:02.539><c> our</c><00:24:02.759><c> life?</c>

00:24:03.480 --> 00:24:06.660
This<00:24:03.779><c> is</c><00:24:04.160><c> where</c><00:24:04.480><c> faith</c><00:24:05.000><c> hits</c><00:24:05.559><c> the</c><00:24:05.859><c> pavement,</c><00:24:06.140><c> right?</c>

00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:09.359
I<00:24:07.059><c> mean,</c><00:24:07.160><c> it's</c><00:24:07.299><c> one</c><00:24:07.500><c> thing</c><00:24:07.619><c> to</c><00:24:07.880><c> say</c><00:24:08.059><c> we</c><00:24:08.259><c> have</c><00:24:08.500><c> faith.</c>

00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:12.099
It's<00:24:09.740><c> a</c><00:24:09.880><c> whole</c><00:24:10.079><c> other</c><00:24:10.339><c> thing</c><00:24:10.660><c> to</c><00:24:10.960><c> really</c><00:24:11.400><c> believe</c>

00:24:12.099 --> 00:24:15.579
that<00:24:12.339><c> when</c><00:24:12.680><c> things</c><00:24:13.140><c> like</c><00:24:13.480><c> this</c><00:24:13.779><c> happen</c><00:24:14.180><c> in</c><00:24:14.400><c> our</c><00:24:14.759><c> life,</c>

00:24:15.740 --> 00:24:17.940
that<00:24:15.980><c> God</c><00:24:16.259><c> was</c><00:24:16.539><c> in</c><00:24:16.799><c> control.</c>

00:24:18.359 --> 00:24:20.539
You're<00:24:18.660><c> going</c><00:24:18.759><c> to</c><00:24:18.819><c> see</c><00:24:19.000><c> that</c><00:24:19.180><c> with</c><00:24:19.400><c> Joseph</c><00:24:19.799><c> again</c><00:24:20.119><c> tomorrow.</c>

00:24:20.700 --> 00:24:22.660
That's<00:24:21.160><c> the</c><00:24:21.380><c> challenge</c><00:24:21.839><c> to</c><00:24:22.059><c> all</c><00:24:22.240><c> of</c><00:24:22.380><c> us.</c>

00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:24.400
It's<00:24:23.180><c> easy</c><00:24:23.359><c> when</c><00:24:23.619><c> things</c><00:24:23.859><c> are</c><00:24:24.099><c> good</c>

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:26.200
and<00:24:24.519><c> when</c><00:24:24.619><c> things</c><00:24:24.819><c> are</c><00:24:25.039><c> rolling</c><00:24:25.279><c> along</c><00:24:25.619><c> just</c><00:24:25.960><c> fine.</c>

00:24:26.599 --> 00:24:28.759
But,<00:24:27.039><c> oh</c><00:24:27.220><c> boy,</c><00:24:27.500><c> what</c><00:24:27.700><c> happens</c><00:24:28.099><c> when</c><00:24:28.259><c> they're</c><00:24:28.480><c> not?</c>

00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:30.700
And<00:24:29.279><c> what</c><00:24:29.420><c> we</c><00:24:29.619><c> learn</c><00:24:29.720><c> to</c><00:24:29.940><c> do</c><00:24:30.059><c> over</c><00:24:30.380><c> time</c>

00:24:30.700 --> 00:24:32.720
is<00:24:31.019><c> we</c><00:24:31.099><c> learn</c><00:24:31.279><c> to</c><00:24:31.480><c> thank</c><00:24:31.660><c> God</c><00:24:31.980><c> for</c><00:24:32.220><c> helping</c><00:24:32.460><c> us</c>

00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.259
through<00:24:32.839><c> these</c><00:24:33.140><c> things</c><00:24:33.339><c> and</c><00:24:33.500><c> realize</c><00:24:33.980><c> that,</c>

00:24:34.279 --> 00:24:35.660
wow,<00:24:34.460><c> I've</c><00:24:34.720><c> got</c><00:24:34.839><c> a</c><00:24:34.920><c> lot</c><00:24:35.079><c> of</c><00:24:35.259><c> weaknesses</c>

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:37.019
the<00:24:35.960><c> angels</c><00:24:36.119><c> have</c><00:24:36.380><c> to</c><00:24:36.559><c> work</c><00:24:36.740><c> on.</c>

00:24:37.339 --> 00:24:39.019
And<00:24:37.640><c> eventually</c><00:24:38.099><c> we</c><00:24:38.339><c> come</c><00:24:38.539><c> to</c><00:24:38.759><c> a</c><00:24:38.859><c> point</c>

00:24:39.019 --> 00:24:40.319
where<00:24:39.180><c> we</c><00:24:39.400><c> stand</c><00:24:39.619><c> back</c><00:24:39.839><c> and</c><00:24:40.119><c> say,</c>

00:24:40.319 --> 00:24:42.619
all<00:24:40.619><c> right,</c><00:24:40.839><c> what</c><00:24:41.039><c> am</c><00:24:41.200><c> I</c><00:24:41.299><c> supposed</c><00:24:41.579><c> to</c><00:24:41.720><c> learn</c><00:24:41.920><c> from</c><00:24:42.119><c> this</c><00:24:42.380><c> one?</c>

00:24:42.940 --> 00:24:45.259
And<00:24:43.259><c> I</c><00:24:43.420><c> think</c><00:24:43.599><c> that's</c><00:24:43.880><c> what</c><00:24:44.079><c> experience</c><00:24:44.579><c> teaches</c><00:24:44.940><c> us.</c>

00:24:45.700 --> 00:24:47.819
We<00:24:45.819><c> don't</c><00:24:46.000><c> need</c><00:24:46.160><c> to</c><00:24:46.339><c> take</c><00:24:46.519><c> vengeance</c><00:24:46.940><c> on</c><00:24:47.140><c> other</c><00:24:47.359><c> people.</c>

00:24:48.220 --> 00:24:49.180
Don't<00:24:48.460><c> take</c><00:24:48.740><c> vengeance.</c>

00:24:49.279 --> 00:24:51.880
Don't<00:24:49.440><c> get</c><00:24:49.640><c> mad</c><00:24:49.859><c> at</c><00:24:50.019><c> them</c><00:24:50.240><c> and</c><00:24:50.480><c> take</c><00:24:50.660><c> it</c><00:24:50.819><c> out</c><00:24:50.940><c> on</c><00:24:51.119><c> somebody</c><00:24:51.480><c> else.</c>

00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.460
As<00:24:52.319><c> we</c><00:24:52.480><c> saw</c><00:24:52.680><c> with</c><00:24:52.880><c> Asa</c><00:24:53.240><c> when</c><00:24:53.400><c> he</c><00:24:53.680><c> shoots</c><00:24:53.859><c> the</c><00:24:54.119><c> messenger</c>

00:24:54.460 --> 00:24:55.380
and<00:24:54.680><c> gets</c><00:24:54.859><c> all</c><00:24:55.119><c> mad.</c>

00:24:55.819 --> 00:24:57.099
We<00:24:56.160><c> don't</c><00:24:56.359><c> have</c><00:24:56.519><c> to</c><00:24:56.640><c> do</c><00:24:56.819><c> that.</c>

00:24:57.319 --> 00:24:59.680
And<00:24:57.599><c> we</c><00:24:57.759><c> don't</c><00:24:57.960><c> have</c><00:24:58.119><c> to</c><00:24:58.460><c> change</c><00:24:58.759><c> the</c><00:24:59.039><c> other</c><00:24:59.299><c> people.</c>

00:25:00.160 --> 00:25:02.420
That's<00:25:00.440><c> the</c><00:25:00.579><c> other</c><00:25:00.759><c> thing</c><00:25:00.980><c> is</c><00:25:01.119><c> that</c><00:25:01.279><c> that's</c><00:25:01.579><c> not</c><00:25:01.759><c> our</c><00:25:02.039><c> job.</c>

00:25:02.880 --> 00:25:04.599
Jacob<00:25:03.200><c> doesn't</c><00:25:03.440><c> have</c><00:25:03.640><c> to</c><00:25:03.880><c> change</c><00:25:04.140><c> Laban</c>

00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:06.720
and<00:25:05.180><c> he</c><00:25:05.660><c> doesn't</c><00:25:05.900><c> have</c><00:25:06.160><c> to</c><00:25:06.299><c> do</c><00:25:06.519><c> that.</c>

00:25:06.759 --> 00:25:09.440
What<00:25:06.940><c> we</c><00:25:07.220><c> have</c><00:25:07.400><c> to</c><00:25:07.619><c> do</c><00:25:07.779><c> is</c><00:25:08.000><c> work</c><00:25:08.259><c> on</c><00:25:08.519><c> our</c><00:25:08.819><c> own</c><00:25:09.059><c> weaknesses</c>

00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:12.359
and<00:25:10.059><c> change</c><00:25:10.539><c> the</c><00:25:10.920><c> only</c><00:25:11.119><c> one</c><00:25:11.279><c> we</c><00:25:11.519><c> can.</c>

00:25:12.660 --> 00:25:14.380
Now,<00:25:12.819><c> I</c><00:25:12.880><c> think</c><00:25:12.940><c> that's</c><00:25:13.079><c> really</c><00:25:13.319><c> hard</c><00:25:13.559><c> to</c><00:25:13.720><c> do</c><00:25:13.819><c> in</c><00:25:14.019><c> marriages</c>

00:25:14.380 --> 00:25:16.000
is<00:25:14.740><c> to</c><00:25:15.000><c> accept</c><00:25:15.220><c> the</c><00:25:15.420><c> fact</c><00:25:15.599><c> that</c>

00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:17.740
I<00:25:16.339><c> don't</c><00:25:16.480><c> have</c><00:25:16.559><c> to</c><00:25:16.740><c> change</c><00:25:16.940><c> the</c><00:25:17.160><c> other</c><00:25:17.359><c> person,</c>

00:25:17.759 --> 00:25:19.440
but<00:25:18.079><c> instead</c><00:25:18.539><c> what</c><00:25:18.680><c> we</c><00:25:18.839><c> can</c><00:25:19.000><c> do</c><00:25:19.140><c> is</c><00:25:19.279><c> learn</c>

00:25:19.440 --> 00:25:21.700
how<00:25:19.619><c> to</c><00:25:19.759><c> become</c><00:25:19.980><c> better</c><00:25:20.259><c> people</c><00:25:20.619><c> ourselves.</c>

00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:24.039
So<00:25:22.160><c> Jacob's</c><00:25:22.579><c> got</c><00:25:22.640><c> to</c><00:25:22.759><c> make</c><00:25:22.859><c> a</c><00:25:23.099><c> choice</c><00:25:23.380><c> at</c><00:25:23.579><c> this</c><00:25:23.819><c> point.</c>

00:25:24.240 --> 00:25:25.900
Sometimes<00:25:24.619><c> you</c><00:25:24.759><c> don't</c><00:25:24.940><c> even</c><00:25:25.160><c> think</c><00:25:25.359><c> about</c><00:25:25.619><c> this,</c>

00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:29.339
but<00:25:26.519><c> Laban</c><00:25:26.779><c> then</c><00:25:26.960><c> it</c><00:25:27.140><c> gives</c><00:25:27.279><c> him</c><00:25:27.480><c> his</c><00:25:27.759><c> explanation</c><00:25:28.259><c> in</c><00:25:28.519><c> Genesis</c><00:25:28.819><c> 29.</c>

00:25:29.480 --> 00:25:31.059
Oh,<00:25:29.599><c> we</c><00:25:29.720><c> don't</c><00:25:29.859><c> do</c><00:25:30.000><c> it</c><00:25:30.119><c> that</c><00:25:30.359><c> way</c><00:25:30.500><c> here,</c><00:25:30.880><c> right?</c>

00:25:31.059 --> 00:25:32.619
You<00:25:31.240><c> can't</c><00:25:31.519><c> give</c><00:25:31.700><c> away</c><00:25:31.880><c> the</c><00:25:32.079><c> younger</c><00:25:32.279><c> daughter</c>

00:25:32.619 --> 00:25:33.599
without<00:25:32.859><c> the</c><00:25:33.079><c> older</c><00:25:33.319><c> ones.</c>

00:25:33.900 --> 00:25:35.779
So,<00:25:34.299><c> you</c><00:25:34.400><c> know,</c><00:25:34.700><c> make</c><00:25:34.799><c> another</c><00:25:35.059><c> deal</c><00:25:35.299><c> with</c><00:25:35.519><c> me,</c>

00:25:35.960 --> 00:25:36.880
serve<00:25:35.960><c> me</c><00:25:36.119><c> another</c><00:25:36.339><c> seven</c><00:25:36.660><c> years</c>

00:25:36.880 --> 00:25:38.680
and<00:25:37.019><c> you</c><00:25:37.079><c> can</c><00:25:37.279><c> have</c><00:25:37.460><c> Rachel</c><00:25:37.779><c> too.</c>

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:40.200
Now,<00:25:39.140><c> have</c><00:25:39.259><c> you</c><00:25:39.279><c> ever</c><00:25:39.480><c> thought</c><00:25:39.680><c> about</c>

00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:41.799
Jacob's<00:25:40.779><c> decision</c><00:25:41.140><c> at</c><00:25:41.359><c> this</c><00:25:41.579><c> point?</c>

00:25:42.240 --> 00:25:43.700
What's<00:25:42.500><c> he</c><00:25:42.559><c> going</c><00:25:42.700><c> to</c><00:25:42.859><c> do?</c>

00:25:43.819 --> 00:25:47.299
Is<00:25:44.000><c> he</c><00:25:44.140><c> going</c><00:25:44.279><c> to</c><00:25:44.420><c> just</c><00:25:44.559><c> say,</c><00:25:45.160><c> well,</c><00:25:45.759><c> Leah's</c><00:25:46.440><c> enough?</c>

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:49.960
I<00:25:48.859><c> mean,</c><00:25:49.019><c> that's</c><00:25:49.279><c> a</c><00:25:49.400><c> possibility.</c>

00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:51.440
He<00:25:50.519><c> could</c><00:25:50.680><c> have</c><00:25:50.839><c> done</c><00:25:51.019><c> that.</c>

00:25:51.619 --> 00:25:54.140
He<00:25:51.859><c> could</c><00:25:52.039><c> have</c><00:25:52.200><c> just</c><00:25:52.460><c> said</c><00:25:52.680><c> to</c><00:25:52.940><c> Laban,</c><00:25:53.299><c> that's</c><00:25:53.759><c> all</c><00:25:53.920><c> right.</c>

00:25:54.180 --> 00:25:55.960
I<00:25:54.420><c> only</c><00:25:54.680><c> want</c><00:25:54.900><c> one</c><00:25:55.140><c> wife</c>

00:25:56.019 --> 00:25:58.319
and<00:25:56.339><c> I'll</c><00:25:56.519><c> take</c><00:25:56.740><c> Leah</c><00:25:56.960><c> and</c><00:25:57.200><c> work</c><00:25:57.339><c> with</c><00:25:57.519><c> her.</c>

00:25:58.339 --> 00:25:59.759
His<00:25:58.579><c> life</c><00:25:58.720><c> might</c><00:25:58.920><c> have</c><00:25:59.079><c> been</c><00:25:59.180><c> a</c><00:25:59.299><c> lot</c><00:25:59.400><c> better</c>

00:25:59.759 --> 00:26:01.039
if<00:25:59.920><c> he</c><00:26:00.099><c> had</c><00:26:00.200><c> done</c><00:26:00.380><c> that</c><00:26:00.660><c> actually.</c>

00:26:01.039 --> 00:26:03.259
She<00:26:01.380><c> seems</c><00:26:01.640><c> to</c><00:26:01.839><c> have</c><00:26:01.940><c> been</c><00:26:02.000><c> the</c><00:26:02.220><c> better</c><00:26:02.400><c> spiritual</c><00:26:02.859><c> partner</c>

00:26:03.259 --> 00:26:04.319
when<00:26:03.420><c> you</c><00:26:03.519><c> look</c><00:26:03.680><c> at</c><00:26:03.859><c> their</c><00:26:04.019><c> life,</c>

00:26:04.319 --> 00:26:08.039
but<00:26:04.799><c> instead</c><00:26:05.220><c> he</c><00:26:05.559><c> chooses</c><00:26:05.940><c> to</c><00:26:06.180><c> go</c><00:26:06.400><c> down</c><00:26:06.599><c> a</c><00:26:06.900><c> pathway</c><00:26:07.299><c> now</c>

00:26:08.180 --> 00:26:12.480
not<00:26:08.680><c> the</c><00:26:08.960><c> divine</c><00:26:09.240><c> ideal,</c><00:26:10.059><c> but</c><00:26:10.440><c> I</c><00:26:10.940><c> really</c><00:26:11.819><c> want</c><00:26:12.079><c> Rachel</c>

00:26:12.480 --> 00:26:14.339
and<00:26:12.720><c> I'm</c><00:26:12.920><c> going</c><00:26:13.019><c> to</c><00:26:13.240><c> work</c><00:26:13.420><c> another</c><00:26:13.680><c> seven</c><00:26:14.000><c> years.</c>

00:26:14.539 --> 00:26:15.440
I<00:26:14.740><c> want</c><00:26:14.980><c> Rachel.</c>

00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:18.900
And<00:26:15.880><c> he</c><00:26:15.980><c> makes</c><00:26:16.279><c> a</c><00:26:16.599><c> decision</c><00:26:17.019><c> to</c><00:26:17.299><c> take</c><00:26:17.599><c> a</c><00:26:17.799><c> second</c><00:26:18.039><c> wife.</c>

00:26:19.319 --> 00:26:21.960
Now,<00:26:19.779><c> what's</c><00:26:20.160><c> fascinating</c><00:26:20.640><c> about</c><00:26:20.980><c> that</c><00:26:21.339><c> is</c><00:26:21.539><c> that</c>

00:26:21.960 --> 00:26:24.619
that<00:26:22.359><c> shows</c><00:26:22.619><c> you</c><00:26:22.920><c> the</c><00:26:23.220><c> flexibility</c><00:26:23.859><c> of</c><00:26:24.180><c> our</c><00:26:24.400><c> God.</c>

00:26:24.960 --> 00:26:26.279
I<00:26:25.059><c> don't</c><00:26:25.140><c> know</c><00:26:25.220><c> if</c><00:26:25.279><c> you</c><00:26:25.500><c> ever</c><00:26:25.660><c> looked</c><00:26:25.940><c> at</c><00:26:26.079><c> that</c>

00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:27.859
as<00:26:26.440><c> a</c><00:26:26.599><c> topic</c><00:26:26.920><c> reading</c><00:26:27.220><c> through</c><00:26:27.480><c> the</c><00:26:27.640><c> Bible</c>

00:26:27.859 --> 00:26:29.900
when<00:26:27.980><c> you</c><00:26:28.099><c> do</c><00:26:28.240><c> the</c><00:26:28.420><c> readings,</c><00:26:28.779><c> it</c><00:26:28.839><c> just</c><00:26:29.019><c> compile</c><00:26:29.460><c> a</c><00:26:29.700><c> list</c>

00:26:29.900 --> 00:26:32.440
of<00:26:30.160><c> all</c><00:26:30.460><c> the</c><00:26:30.740><c> places</c><00:26:31.099><c> where</c><00:26:31.460><c> angels</c><00:26:31.839><c> and</c><00:26:32.200><c> God</c>

00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.759
are<00:26:33.059><c> so</c><00:26:33.579><c> flexible</c><00:26:34.180><c> with</c><00:26:34.819><c> pathways</c><00:26:35.380><c> that</c><00:26:35.619><c> we</c><00:26:35.859><c> choose.</c>

00:26:36.960 --> 00:26:39.420
There's<00:26:37.200><c> not</c><00:26:37.640><c> one</c><00:26:37.960><c> way</c><00:26:38.519><c> that</c><00:26:38.720><c> they</c><00:26:38.819><c> can</c><00:26:39.039><c> work.</c>

00:26:39.700 --> 00:26:42.119
They<00:26:39.960><c> can</c><00:26:40.220><c> work</c><00:26:40.519><c> with</c><00:26:40.799><c> decisions</c><00:26:41.319><c> that</c><00:26:41.539><c> we</c><00:26:41.759><c> make</c>

00:26:42.119 --> 00:26:46.220
and<00:26:42.640><c> they</c><00:26:42.940><c> can</c><00:26:43.259><c> make</c><00:26:43.519><c> it</c><00:26:43.900><c> work</c><00:26:44.119><c> out</c><00:26:44.480><c> okay</c><00:26:44.920><c> in</c><00:26:45.200><c> the</c><00:26:45.380><c> end.</c>

00:26:46.539 --> 00:26:48.299
I<00:26:46.660><c> don't</c><00:26:46.720><c> know</c><00:26:46.779><c> if</c><00:26:46.799><c> you've</c><00:26:46.980><c> ever</c><00:26:47.140><c> looked</c><00:26:47.400><c> at</c><00:26:47.460><c> that</c><00:26:47.640><c> as</c><00:26:47.799><c> a</c><00:26:47.980><c> concept,</c>

00:26:48.299 --> 00:26:50.819
but<00:26:48.480><c> that's</c><00:26:49.019><c> really</c><00:26:49.500><c> comforting</c><00:26:50.059><c> to</c><00:26:50.440><c> know.</c>

00:26:51.140 --> 00:26:52.819
Otherwise,<00:26:51.559><c> we're</c><00:26:51.799><c> sitting</c><00:26:51.980><c> around</c><00:26:52.299><c> all</c><00:26:52.440><c> the</c><00:26:52.599><c> time</c>

00:26:52.819 --> 00:26:54.579
wondering<00:26:53.099><c> whether</c><00:26:53.319><c> we</c><00:26:53.559><c> made</c><00:26:53.680><c> the</c><00:26:53.880><c> right</c><00:26:54.039><c> decision</c>

00:26:54.579 --> 00:26:56.880
and<00:26:55.220><c> second</c><00:26:55.539><c> guessing</c><00:26:55.779><c> ourselves</c><00:26:56.200><c> all</c><00:26:56.440><c> our</c><00:26:56.660><c> life.</c>

00:26:56.920 --> 00:26:58.819
Did<00:26:57.039><c> I</c><00:26:57.180><c> marry</c><00:26:57.400><c> the</c><00:26:57.559><c> right</c><00:26:57.759><c> person?</c>

00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:00.799
Was<00:26:59.559><c> it</c><00:26:59.799><c> right</c><00:26:59.960><c> to</c><00:27:00.160><c> have</c><00:27:00.339><c> children?</c>

00:27:01.299 --> 00:27:03.000
Did<00:27:01.319><c> I</c><00:27:01.880><c> move</c><00:27:02.039><c> to</c><00:27:02.200><c> the</c><00:27:02.319><c> right</c><00:27:02.460><c> ecclesia?</c>

00:27:03.000 --> 00:27:06.480
And<00:27:03.619><c> you</c><00:27:04.119><c> can</c><00:27:04.559><c> second</c><00:27:04.920><c> guess</c><00:27:05.140><c> your</c><00:27:05.440><c> whole</c><00:27:05.779><c> life</c><00:27:06.039><c> like</c><00:27:06.319><c> that</c>

00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:08.579
and<00:27:06.579><c> get</c><00:27:06.759><c> to</c><00:27:06.980><c> a</c><00:27:07.099><c> point</c><00:27:07.240><c> where</c><00:27:07.519><c> you're</c><00:27:08.140><c> stifled</c>

00:27:08.579 --> 00:27:09.920
and<00:27:08.759><c> you</c><00:27:08.880><c> can't</c><00:27:09.200><c> move</c><00:27:09.500><c> forward</c>

00:27:09.920 --> 00:27:13.009
because<00:27:10.460><c> you're</c><00:27:10.740><c> always</c><00:27:11.039><c> wondering</c><00:27:11.380><c> if</c><00:27:11.579><c> you</c><00:27:11.740><c> went</c><00:27:11.839><c> the</c><00:27:12.000><c> wrong</c><00:27:12.220><c> way.</c>

00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:15.420
God<00:27:13.539><c> is</c><00:27:13.900><c> not</c><00:27:14.140><c> limited</c><00:27:14.619><c> like</c><00:27:15.059><c> that.</c>

00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.039
Oh,<00:27:15.960><c> he's</c><00:27:16.160><c> much</c><00:27:16.359><c> bigger,</c><00:27:16.920><c> much</c><00:27:17.299><c> bigger</c><00:27:17.559><c> than</c><00:27:17.799><c> that.</c>

00:27:18.299 --> 00:27:21.319
He<00:27:18.519><c> can</c><00:27:18.839><c> work</c><00:27:19.200><c> with</c><00:27:19.460><c> the</c><00:27:19.740><c> choices</c><00:27:20.259><c> that</c><00:27:20.619><c> we</c><00:27:20.940><c> make</c>

00:27:21.319 --> 00:27:25.339

00:27:25.920 --> 00:27:29.720
In<00:27:26.079><c> everything,</c><00:27:27.059><c> God</c><00:27:27.400><c> works</c><00:27:27.940><c> for</c><00:27:28.259><c> good</c><00:27:28.519><c> to</c><00:27:28.799><c> those</c><00:27:29.000><c> who</c><00:27:29.259><c> love</c><00:27:29.400><c> him</c>

00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:34.420
And<00:27:32.900><c> that's</c><00:27:33.539><c> faith.</c>

00:27:34.759 --> 00:27:36.599
That's<00:27:35.200><c> a</c><00:27:35.299><c> part</c><00:27:35.460><c> of</c><00:27:35.660><c> our</c><00:27:35.880><c> Bible</c><00:27:36.220><c> study</c>

00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:37.799
that<00:27:36.819><c> as</c><00:27:36.980><c> we're</c><00:27:37.160><c> doing</c><00:27:37.319><c> the</c><00:27:37.559><c> readings,</c>

00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:39.220
you<00:27:38.000><c> start</c><00:27:38.220><c> building</c><00:27:38.619><c> confidence.</c>

00:27:39.619 --> 00:27:41.720
Look<00:27:39.759><c> at</c><00:27:39.880><c> all</c><00:27:40.019><c> the</c><00:27:40.220><c> mistakes</c><00:27:40.660><c> that</c><00:27:40.859><c> these</c><00:27:41.099><c> people</c><00:27:41.319><c> made.</c>

00:27:42.099 --> 00:27:44.480
One<00:27:42.400><c> thing</c><00:27:42.599><c> after</c><00:27:42.920><c> another,</c><00:27:43.359><c> they</c><00:27:43.619><c> made</c><00:27:43.779><c> these</c><00:27:44.000><c> mistakes</c>

00:27:44.480 --> 00:27:49.460
and<00:27:44.680><c> in</c><00:27:44.859><c> the</c><00:27:45.059><c> end,</c><00:27:45.480><c> God</c><00:27:45.559><c> still</c><00:27:46.400><c> used</c><00:27:46.859><c> it</c><00:27:47.160><c> all</c><00:27:47.440><c> to</c><00:27:47.839><c> accomplish</c><00:27:48.480><c> good.</c>

00:27:49.960 --> 00:27:51.980
That's<00:27:50.400><c> a</c><00:27:50.579><c> confidence</c><00:27:50.920><c> we</c><00:27:51.119><c> can</c><00:27:51.319><c> have</c><00:27:51.440><c> in</c><00:27:51.579><c> our</c><00:27:51.779><c> God.</c>

00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:54.079
So<00:27:52.359><c> we</c><00:27:52.559><c> don't</c><00:27:52.740><c> have</c><00:27:52.940><c> to</c><00:27:53.079><c> go</c><00:27:53.339><c> back</c><00:27:53.519><c> to</c><00:27:53.680><c> the</c><00:27:53.859><c> past,</c>

00:27:54.160 --> 00:27:55.900
look<00:27:54.440><c> backwards</c><00:27:54.839><c> in</c><00:27:55.019><c> our</c><00:27:55.240><c> life</c><00:27:55.440><c> and</c><00:27:55.680><c> say,</c>

00:27:56.279 --> 00:27:58.279
wow,<00:27:56.799><c> I</c><00:27:56.799><c> wish</c><00:27:57.200><c> I'd</c><00:27:57.420><c> done</c><00:27:57.519><c> that</c><00:27:57.839><c> differently</c>

00:27:58.279 --> 00:27:59.720
and<00:27:58.480><c> wish</c><00:27:58.680><c> I'd</c><00:27:58.839><c> done</c><00:27:58.960><c> that</c><00:27:59.259><c> differently.</c>

00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:02.519
Or<00:28:00.220><c> as</c><00:28:01.079><c> Solomon</c><00:28:01.420><c> says</c><00:28:01.680><c> in</c><00:28:01.799><c> Ecclesiastes,</c>

00:28:02.559 --> 00:28:04.279
don't<00:28:02.759><c> look</c><00:28:02.980><c> back</c><00:28:03.279><c> and</c><00:28:03.500><c> say,</c>

00:28:04.440 --> 00:28:06.019
where<00:28:04.500><c> are</c><00:28:04.640><c> the</c><00:28:04.700><c> good</c><00:28:04.900><c> old</c><00:28:05.119><c> days?</c>

00:28:06.380 --> 00:28:09.279
It's<00:28:06.940><c> a</c><00:28:07.119><c> terrible</c><00:28:07.599><c> kind</c><00:28:07.900><c> of</c><00:28:08.160><c> a</c><00:28:08.359><c> framework</c><00:28:08.640><c> of</c><00:28:08.960><c> mind.</c>

00:28:09.619 --> 00:28:10.980
You<00:28:09.819><c> don't</c><00:28:10.140><c> look</c><00:28:10.519><c> backwards.</c>

00:28:11.099 --> 00:28:13.759
You<00:28:11.279><c> learn</c><00:28:11.579><c> from</c><00:28:11.799><c> the</c><00:28:12.019><c> past</c><00:28:12.299><c> and</c><00:28:12.519><c> you</c><00:28:12.960><c> work</c><00:28:13.240><c> forward</c>

00:28:13.759 --> 00:28:16.059
and<00:28:14.119><c> you</c><00:28:14.359><c> keep</c><00:28:14.519><c> going</c><00:28:14.839><c> forward</c><00:28:15.200><c> in</c><00:28:15.619><c> confidence</c>

00:28:16.059 --> 00:28:18.180
that<00:28:16.420><c> God</c><00:28:16.759><c> will</c><00:28:17.079><c> use</c><00:28:17.359><c> it</c><00:28:17.619><c> for</c><00:28:17.880><c> good.</c>

00:28:18.579 --> 00:28:20.339
He<00:28:18.759><c> is</c><00:28:19.259><c> extremely</c><00:28:19.859><c> flexible</c>

00:28:20.339 --> 00:28:22.920
in<00:28:20.539><c> how</c><00:28:20.700><c> he</c><00:28:20.900><c> works</c><00:28:21.160><c> with</c><00:28:21.500><c> situations</c><00:28:22.000><c> in</c><00:28:22.240><c> life.</c>

00:28:23.119 --> 00:28:24.380
That's<00:28:23.680><c> the</c><00:28:23.740><c> way</c><00:28:23.880><c> our</c><00:28:24.039><c> God</c><00:28:24.160><c> is.</c>

00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.259
That's<00:28:24.680><c> because</c><00:28:25.099><c> he's</c><00:28:25.859><c> so</c><00:28:26.259><c> much</c><00:28:26.519><c> in</c><00:28:26.779><c> control.</c>

00:28:27.259 --> 00:28:30.519
And<00:28:27.779><c> some</c><00:28:28.000><c> of</c><00:28:28.140><c> those</c><00:28:28.299><c> choices</c><00:28:28.720><c> aren't</c><00:28:29.079><c> easy</c><00:28:29.500><c> in</c><00:28:29.779><c> family</c><00:28:30.119><c> life,</c>

00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.980
and<00:28:30.779><c> in</c><00:28:30.880><c> collegial</c><00:28:31.180><c> life.</c>

00:28:32.460 --> 00:28:33.539
Arranging<00:28:32.660><c> brothers</c><00:28:32.960><c> and</c><00:28:33.079><c> collegians</c>

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:35.900
have<00:28:33.740><c> to</c><00:28:33.859><c> make</c><00:28:34.119><c> decisions</c><00:28:34.480><c> sometimes</c><00:28:34.960><c> that</c><00:28:35.119><c> are</c><00:28:35.200><c> really</c><00:28:35.500><c> tough.</c>

00:28:36.299 --> 00:28:38.099
They<00:28:36.480><c> are</c><00:28:36.720><c> tough</c><00:28:37.059><c> and</c><00:28:37.259><c> you</c><00:28:37.400><c> try</c><00:28:37.559><c> to</c><00:28:37.740><c> figure</c><00:28:37.900><c> out</c>

00:28:38.099 --> 00:28:40.500
what's<00:28:38.640><c> the</c><00:28:38.839><c> right</c><00:28:39.440><c> decision.</c>

00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:41.799
And<00:28:40.759><c> sometimes</c><00:28:41.099><c> we</c><00:28:41.339><c> look</c><00:28:41.519><c> back</c>

00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:43.799
and<00:28:42.000><c> worry</c><00:28:42.220><c> about</c><00:28:42.480><c> the</c><00:28:42.779><c> wrong</c><00:28:43.119><c> decisions</c>

00:28:43.799 --> 00:28:45.160
or<00:28:44.099><c> whatever</c><00:28:44.359><c> that</c><00:28:44.579><c> we've</c><00:28:44.859><c> made.</c>

00:28:45.559 --> 00:28:48.500
But<00:28:45.920><c> God</c><00:28:46.240><c> can</c><00:28:46.700><c> still</c><00:28:47.019><c> use</c><00:28:47.380><c> those</c><00:28:47.799><c> for</c><00:28:48.160><c> good.</c>

00:28:48.859 --> 00:28:52.279
As<00:28:49.099><c> long</c><00:28:49.359><c> as</c><00:28:49.640><c> we</c><00:28:49.960><c> work</c><00:28:50.440><c> forward</c><00:28:50.900><c> in</c><00:28:51.180><c> confidence</c><00:28:51.519><c> in</c><00:28:51.900><c> him,</c>

00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:55.880
that<00:28:52.900><c> the</c><00:28:53.200><c> angels</c><00:28:53.519><c> will</c><00:28:53.960><c> correct</c><00:28:54.400><c> the</c><00:28:54.799><c> mistakes</c><00:28:55.220><c> that</c><00:28:55.440><c> we</c><00:28:55.619><c> make.</c>

00:28:55.880 --> 00:28:59.440
I<00:28:56.559><c> think</c><00:28:56.680><c> it's</c><00:28:56.839><c> a</c><00:28:56.920><c> good</c><00:28:57.039><c> thing</c><00:28:57.200><c> to</c><00:28:57.339><c> pray</c><00:28:57.599><c> for</c><00:28:58.480><c> as</c><00:28:59.000><c> parents,</c>

00:28:59.799 --> 00:29:02.039
because<00:28:59.799><c> we</c><00:29:00.019><c> constantly</c><00:29:00.539><c> make</c><00:29:00.799><c> mistakes</c><00:29:01.220><c> with</c><00:29:01.440><c> our</c><00:29:01.680><c> children.</c>

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:03.900
And<00:29:02.640><c> so</c><00:29:02.779><c> we</c><00:29:03.039><c> pray</c><00:29:03.240><c> that</c><00:29:03.460><c> the</c><00:29:03.680><c> angels</c>

00:29:03.900 --> 00:29:05.779
will<00:29:04.140><c> step</c><00:29:04.339><c> into</c><00:29:04.559><c> our</c><00:29:04.819><c> children's</c><00:29:05.339><c> lives</c>

00:29:05.779 --> 00:29:08.940
and<00:29:06.500><c> correct</c><00:29:06.720><c> the</c><00:29:07.039><c> mistakes</c><00:29:07.299><c> that</c><00:29:07.480><c> we've</c><00:29:07.700><c> made</c><00:29:07.960><c> as</c><00:29:08.279><c> we</c><00:29:08.400><c> go</c><00:29:08.640><c> along.</c>

00:29:09.180 --> 00:29:10.900
And<00:29:09.480><c> they</c><00:29:09.640><c> will</c><00:29:09.799><c> do</c><00:29:10.019><c> that.</c>

00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.740
So<00:29:11.220><c> God</c><00:29:11.460><c> is</c><00:29:11.700><c> at</c><00:29:11.900><c> work</c><00:29:12.079><c> in</c><00:29:12.240><c> this</c><00:29:12.500><c> case.</c>

00:29:12.940 --> 00:29:14.299
Jacob<00:29:13.140><c> then</c><00:29:13.380><c> goes</c><00:29:13.539><c> into</c><00:29:13.839><c> Rachel</c>

00:29:14.299 --> 00:29:16.519
and<00:29:14.559><c> he</c><00:29:14.779><c> loved</c><00:29:14.920><c> Rachel</c><00:29:15.380><c> more</c><00:29:15.700><c> than</c><00:29:15.880><c> he</c><00:29:16.059><c> loved</c><00:29:16.240><c> Leah.</c>

00:29:16.839 --> 00:29:20.279
He<00:29:17.160><c> served</c><00:29:17.319><c> Laban</c><00:29:17.660><c> for</c><00:29:17.920><c> the</c><00:29:18.160><c> extra</c><00:29:18.480><c> seven</c><00:29:18.759><c> years</c><00:29:19.059><c> in</c><00:29:19.279><c> Genesis</c><00:29:19.599><c> 29.</c>

00:29:20.660 --> 00:29:23.119
And<00:29:20.819><c> when</c><00:29:21.019><c> the</c><00:29:21.240><c> Lord</c><00:29:21.500><c> saw</c><00:29:21.859><c> that</c><00:29:22.099><c> Leah</c><00:29:22.319><c> was</c><00:29:22.640><c> in</c><00:29:22.880><c> love,</c>

00:29:23.119 --> 00:29:26.380
he<00:29:23.400><c> opened</c><00:29:23.900><c> her</c><00:29:24.279><c> womb,</c><00:29:24.740><c> but</c><00:29:24.799><c> Rachel</c><00:29:25.200><c> was</c><00:29:25.599><c> barren.</c>

00:29:27.759 --> 00:29:31.779
See<00:29:27.940><c> how</c><00:29:28.140><c> God</c><00:29:28.400><c> works</c><00:29:28.839><c> in</c><00:29:29.480><c> the</c><00:29:29.680><c> lives</c><00:29:30.000><c> of</c><00:29:30.440><c> all</c><00:29:30.640><c> of</c><00:29:30.759><c> his</c><00:29:30.859><c> children.</c>

00:29:31.960 --> 00:29:34.240
He<00:29:32.519><c> takes</c><00:29:32.940><c> care</c><00:29:33.279><c> of</c><00:29:33.559><c> Leah.</c>

00:29:34.359 --> 00:29:37.099

00:29:37.099 --> 00:29:40.059
and<00:29:37.619><c> realizes</c><00:29:38.160><c> that</c><00:29:38.460><c> Leah's</c><00:29:38.819><c> sort</c><00:29:38.920><c> of</c><00:29:39.059><c> left</c><00:29:39.180><c> on</c><00:29:39.440><c> the</c><00:29:39.579><c> sidelines.</c>

00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:43.599
She<00:29:40.319><c> was</c><00:29:40.619><c> like</c><00:29:41.099><c> the</c><00:29:41.880><c> throwaway</c><00:29:42.420><c> for</c><00:29:43.019><c> her</c><00:29:43.259><c> dad,</c>

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:48.339
That's<00:29:45.660><c> how</c><00:29:45.740><c> she</c><00:29:45.880><c> got</c><00:29:46.059><c> treated</c><00:29:46.400><c> by</c><00:29:46.599><c> her</c><00:29:46.859><c> father,</c><00:29:47.500><c> her</c><00:29:47.779><c> father.</c>

00:29:55.000 --> 00:29:58.759
And<00:29:55.200><c> God</c><00:29:55.400><c> in</c><00:29:55.680><c> turn</c><00:29:55.980><c> answers</c><00:29:56.660><c> her</c><00:29:57.059><c> by</c><00:29:57.480><c> blessing</c><00:29:57.819><c> her</c><00:29:58.140><c> with</c><00:29:58.380><c> children</c>

00:30:03.859 --> 00:30:05.660
I'm<00:30:04.200><c> sure</c><00:30:04.480><c> Jacob</c><00:30:04.859><c> in</c><00:30:05.200><c> some</c><00:30:05.420><c> way,</c>

00:30:06.019 --> 00:30:08.359
the<00:30:06.099><c> young</c><00:30:06.400><c> Jacob</c><00:30:06.720><c> as</c><00:30:06.940><c> he</c><00:30:07.140><c> was</c><00:30:07.420><c> as</c><00:30:07.640><c> a</c><00:30:07.779><c> young</c><00:30:07.920><c> person,</c>

00:30:08.440 --> 00:30:10.440
didn't<00:30:08.900><c> understand</c><00:30:09.460><c> what</c><00:30:09.680><c> God</c><00:30:09.880><c> was</c><00:30:10.140><c> doing.</c>

00:30:10.779 --> 00:30:12.759
And<00:30:11.079><c> I'll</c><00:30:11.359><c> bet</c><00:30:11.480><c> you</c><00:30:11.640><c> anything,</c><00:30:11.940><c> he</c><00:30:12.220><c> blamed</c><00:30:12.500><c> Leah.</c>

00:30:12.859 --> 00:30:14.819
Can<00:30:13.039><c> you</c><00:30:13.160><c> imagine</c><00:30:13.440><c> that</c><00:30:13.759><c> conversation</c><00:30:14.279><c> in</c><00:30:14.460><c> the</c><00:30:14.599><c> morning</c>

00:30:14.819 --> 00:30:16.579
when<00:30:14.980><c> he</c><00:30:15.160><c> woke</c><00:30:15.299><c> up</c><00:30:15.500><c> and</c><00:30:15.680><c> realized</c><00:30:15.960><c> it</c><00:30:16.140><c> was</c><00:30:16.299><c> Leah?</c>

00:30:16.940 --> 00:30:19.019
He<00:30:17.240><c> would</c><00:30:17.480><c> have</c><00:30:17.660><c> just</c><00:30:17.920><c> gone</c><00:30:18.160><c> after</c><00:30:18.500><c> her</c><00:30:18.660><c> and</c><00:30:18.819><c> figured,</c>

00:30:19.119 --> 00:30:20.619
how<00:30:19.299><c> could</c><00:30:19.519><c> you</c><00:30:19.759><c> do</c><00:30:19.920><c> this</c><00:30:20.180><c> to</c><00:30:20.400><c> me?</c>

00:30:20.619 --> 00:30:24.160
This<00:30:21.059><c> is</c><00:30:21.759><c> the</c><00:30:21.940><c> woman</c><00:30:22.339><c> that</c><00:30:22.599><c> you</c><00:30:22.799><c> gave</c><00:30:23.000><c> me,</c><00:30:23.359><c> it's</c><00:30:23.480><c> all</c><00:30:23.619><c> her</c><00:30:23.880><c> fault.</c>

00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:25.759
How<00:30:24.740><c> did</c><00:30:24.900><c> this</c><00:30:25.140><c> ever</c><00:30:25.380><c> happen?</c>

00:30:26.019 --> 00:30:28.980
And<00:30:26.319><c> he</c><00:30:26.799><c> could</c><00:30:26.980><c> have</c><00:30:27.140><c> just</c><00:30:27.460><c> like</c><00:30:27.859><c> totally</c><00:30:28.359><c> blamed</c><00:30:28.700><c> her</c>

00:30:28.980 --> 00:30:31.059
over<00:30:29.319><c> the</c><00:30:29.539><c> deceit</c><00:30:29.819><c> of</c><00:30:29.980><c> her</c><00:30:30.240><c> dad.</c>

00:30:31.240 --> 00:30:33.500
But<00:30:31.440><c> God's</c><00:30:31.799><c> working</c><00:30:32.039><c> behind</c><00:30:32.420><c> the</c><00:30:32.619><c> scenes</c><00:30:32.819><c> in</c><00:30:32.940><c> this</c><00:30:33.220><c> case</c>

00:30:33.500 --> 00:30:35.380
and<00:30:33.599><c> he's</c><00:30:33.920><c> gonna</c><00:30:34.099><c> accomplish</c><00:30:34.660><c> good</c><00:30:34.940><c> for</c><00:30:35.140><c> Leah</c>

00:30:35.380 --> 00:30:37.259
and<00:30:35.799><c> he's</c><00:30:36.099><c> going</c><00:30:36.220><c> to</c><00:30:36.440><c> bless</c><00:30:36.559><c> her</c><00:30:36.720><c> with</c><00:30:36.940><c> children.</c>

00:30:37.539 --> 00:30:39.660
And<00:30:37.720><c> I</c><00:30:37.819><c> think</c><00:30:37.960><c> that's</c><00:30:38.200><c> something</c><00:30:38.480><c> that</c><00:30:38.660><c> we</c><00:30:38.779><c> can</c><00:30:38.940><c> all</c><00:30:39.099><c> be</c><00:30:39.359><c> confident</c>

00:30:51.960 --> 00:30:56.400
You<00:30:52.160><c> can</c><00:30:52.460><c> still</c><00:30:52.640><c> have</c><00:30:53.059><c> confidence</c><00:30:53.599><c> that</c><00:30:54.019><c> God</c><00:30:54.599><c> sees</c><00:30:55.160><c> it</c><00:30:55.579><c> all.</c>

00:30:56.420 --> 00:31:00.160

00:31:05.339 --> 00:31:07.079

00:31:15.420 --> 00:31:17.900
But<00:31:15.599><c> you</c><00:31:15.740><c> look</c><00:31:15.900><c> at</c><00:31:16.019><c> what</c><00:31:16.200><c> this</c><00:31:16.480><c> did</c><00:31:16.700><c> in</c><00:31:16.880><c> the</c><00:31:17.079><c> family,</c>

00:31:17.940 --> 00:31:20.380
Jacob's<00:31:18.420><c> decision</c><00:31:18.900><c> to</c><00:31:19.119><c> take</c><00:31:19.440><c> a</c><00:31:19.660><c> second</c><00:31:19.980><c> wife</c>

00:31:24.000 --> 00:31:25.660

00:31:25.980 --> 00:31:28.539
he<00:31:25.980><c> probably</c><00:31:26.319><c> would</c><00:31:26.460><c> have</c><00:31:26.619><c> been</c><00:31:26.740><c> much</c><00:31:27.039><c> wiser</c><00:31:27.420><c> if</c><00:31:27.680><c> he</c><00:31:27.740><c> had</c><00:31:27.960><c> wisdom</c>

00:31:35.640 --> 00:31:36.380
But<00:31:35.859><c> he</c><00:31:35.960><c> doesn't.</c>

00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.440
He<00:31:36.700><c> takes</c><00:31:37.019><c> Rachel</c><00:31:37.460><c> and</c><00:31:37.779><c> then</c><00:31:37.940><c> later</c><00:31:38.160><c> on</c><00:31:38.400><c> gets</c><00:31:38.599><c> a</c><00:31:38.779><c> couple</c><00:31:38.980><c> more</c>

the<00:31:44.559><c> envy</c><00:31:44.799><c> that</c><00:31:44.980><c> was</c><00:31:45.180><c> there</c><00:31:45.519><c> and</c><00:31:45.839><c> anger</c><00:31:46.400><c> that</c><00:31:46.759><c> developed.</c>

00:31:47.640 --> 00:31:48.740
Envy<00:31:48.119><c> and</c><00:31:48.359><c> jealousy.</c>

00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:50.859
You<00:31:49.000><c> find</c><00:31:49.339><c> out</c><00:31:49.539><c> that</c><00:31:49.900><c> in</c><00:31:50.099><c> Genesis</c><00:31:50.440><c> 30,</c>

00:31:50.859 --> 00:31:54.220
when<00:31:51.059><c> Rachel</c><00:31:51.339><c> saw</c><00:31:51.740><c> that</c><00:31:52.059><c> she</c><00:31:52.720><c> bore</c><00:31:53.000><c> Jacob</c><00:31:53.680><c> no</c><00:31:53.880><c> children,</c>

00:31:54.319 --> 00:31:56.400
Rachel<00:31:54.720><c> envied</c><00:31:55.000><c> her</c><00:31:55.220><c> sister</c><00:31:55.480><c> and</c><00:31:55.599><c> she</c><00:31:55.819><c> said</c><00:31:55.980><c> to</c><00:31:56.160><c> Jacob,</c>

00:31:59.059 --> 00:32:01.119
Like<00:31:59.440><c> Jacob,</c><00:31:59.700><c> you</c><00:32:00.019><c> fix</c><00:32:00.299><c> this.</c>

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:02.839
And<00:32:01.519><c> Jacob's</c><00:32:01.900><c> probably</c><00:32:02.059><c> sitting</c><00:32:02.339><c> there</c><00:32:02.559><c> like,</c>

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:04.740
well,<00:32:03.480><c> what</c><00:32:03.680><c> do</c><00:32:03.779><c> you</c><00:32:03.900><c> do?</c>

00:32:05.059 --> 00:32:06.059
That's<00:32:05.539><c> not</c><00:32:05.700><c> me.</c>

00:32:06.099 --> 00:32:08.079
I<00:32:06.359><c> had</c><00:32:06.579><c> children</c><00:32:06.920><c> with</c><00:32:07.279><c> Leah.</c>

00:32:08.240 --> 00:32:10.099
It's,<00:32:08.880><c> what</c><00:32:09.059><c> do</c><00:32:09.220><c> you</c><00:32:09.299><c> think</c><00:32:09.460><c> I</c><00:32:09.619><c> can</c><00:32:09.839><c> do?</c>

00:32:10.180 --> 00:32:11.519
It's<00:32:10.400><c> like</c><00:32:10.579><c> later</c><00:32:10.799><c> on</c><00:32:10.920><c> with</c><00:32:11.099><c> Joseph,</c>

00:32:11.660 --> 00:32:12.940
if<00:32:11.799><c> I'm</c><00:32:12.019><c> the</c><00:32:12.200><c> place</c><00:32:12.359><c> of</c><00:32:12.640><c> God,</c>

00:32:13.039 --> 00:32:15.200
it's<00:32:13.259><c> like,</c><00:32:13.579><c> what</c><00:32:13.779><c> are</c><00:32:13.960><c> you</c><00:32:14.240><c> expecting</c><00:32:14.619><c> out</c><00:32:14.839><c> of</c><00:32:15.019><c> me?</c>

00:32:15.200 --> 00:32:17.400
But<00:32:15.460><c> this</c><00:32:15.759><c> is</c><00:32:16.119><c> how</c><00:32:16.339><c> people</c><00:32:16.799><c> react.</c>

00:32:17.900 --> 00:32:20.400
It's<00:32:18.279><c> very</c><00:32:18.579><c> similar</c><00:32:18.880><c> later</c><00:32:19.099><c> on</c><00:32:19.259><c> with</c><00:32:19.500><c> Joseph's</c><00:32:20.119><c> brothers</c>

00:32:20.400 --> 00:32:22.900
in<00:32:20.660><c> Genesis</c><00:32:20.960><c> 37,</c><00:32:21.740><c> where</c><00:32:21.799><c> his</c><00:32:21.960><c> brothers</c><00:32:22.240><c> envied</c><00:32:22.579><c> them,</c>

00:32:23.160 --> 00:32:25.519
but<00:32:23.440><c> his</c><00:32:23.660><c> fathers</c><00:32:24.000><c> kept</c><00:32:24.299><c> those</c><00:32:24.599><c> things</c><00:32:24.839><c> in</c><00:32:24.960><c> his</c><00:32:25.259><c> mind.</c>

00:32:25.619 --> 00:32:29.559
And<00:32:25.720><c> this</c><00:32:25.960><c> is</c><00:32:26.119><c> what</c><00:32:26.299><c> happens</c><00:32:26.759><c> when</c><00:32:27.079><c> we</c><00:32:27.519><c> mistreat</c><00:32:28.440><c> family</c><00:32:28.920><c> members,</c>

00:32:29.940 --> 00:32:32.740
collegial<00:32:30.240><c> members,</c><00:32:30.819><c> when</c><00:32:30.960><c> we</c><00:32:31.240><c> make</c><00:32:31.420><c> decisions</c><00:32:32.019><c> like</c><00:32:32.380><c> this,</c>

00:32:32.940 --> 00:32:38.259
you<00:32:33.200><c> can</c><00:32:33.420><c> end</c><00:32:33.660><c> up</c><00:32:33.880><c> with</c><00:32:34.180><c> envy</c><00:32:34.640><c> and</c><00:32:35.039><c> jealousy</c><00:32:35.640><c> and</c><00:32:36.160><c> anger</c><00:32:36.720><c> and</c><00:32:37.299><c> strife.</c>

00:32:38.279 --> 00:32:41.720
This<00:32:38.579><c> is</c><00:32:38.859><c> what</c><00:32:39.059><c> comes</c><00:32:39.500><c> from</c><00:32:39.859><c> these</c><00:32:40.240><c> kinds</c><00:32:40.500><c> of</c><00:32:40.720><c> choices</c><00:32:41.119><c> in</c><00:32:41.440><c> life.</c>

00:32:42.099 --> 00:32:45.420
And<00:32:42.299><c> they</c><00:32:42.579><c> can</c><00:32:42.799><c> drive</c><00:32:43.119><c> people</c><00:32:43.420><c> to</c><00:32:43.579><c> the</c><00:32:43.759><c> point</c><00:32:43.960><c> where</c><00:32:44.220><c> they</c><00:32:44.539><c> learn</c><00:32:44.759><c> to,</c>

00:32:45.259 --> 00:32:48.240

00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:54.039
I<00:32:52.039><c> think</c><00:32:52.400><c> actually</c><00:32:52.960><c> in</c><00:32:53.180><c> James</c><00:32:53.440><c> chapter</c><00:32:53.779><c> four,</c>

00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:05.880
It's<00:33:04.720><c> this</c><00:33:04.960><c> heart</c><00:33:05.220><c> of</c><00:33:05.400><c> the</c><00:33:05.619><c> flesh.</c>

00:33:06.380 --> 00:33:07.500
This<00:33:06.599><c> really</c><00:33:06.880><c> is</c><00:33:07.119><c> the</c><00:33:07.279><c> devil.</c>

00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:09.039
This<00:33:07.759><c> is</c><00:33:08.140><c> the</c><00:33:08.400><c> Bible</c><00:33:08.700><c> devil.</c>

00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:11.259
When<00:33:09.460><c> we</c><00:33:09.660><c> give</c><00:33:09.960><c> lectures</c><00:33:10.359><c> and</c><00:33:10.500><c> we</c><00:33:10.680><c> talk</c><00:33:10.819><c> to</c><00:33:10.960><c> our</c><00:33:11.119><c> friends</c>

00:33:11.259 --> 00:33:14.019

00:33:14.019 --> 00:33:15.759
There<00:33:14.460><c> is</c><00:33:14.740><c> a</c><00:33:14.859><c> devil,</c><00:33:15.400><c> all</c><00:33:15.460><c> right.</c>

00:33:16.039 --> 00:33:18.059
We<00:33:16.220><c> just</c><00:33:16.460><c> need</c><00:33:16.619><c> to</c><00:33:16.920><c> explain</c><00:33:17.119><c> who</c><00:33:17.319><c> the</c><00:33:17.460><c> devil</c><00:33:17.660><c> is.</c>

00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:19.799
And<00:33:18.319><c> the</c><00:33:18.420><c> devil's</c><00:33:18.779><c> right</c><00:33:18.940><c> here</c><00:33:19.160><c> inside</c><00:33:19.539><c> me.</c>

00:33:19.819 --> 00:33:21.059
That's<00:33:20.140><c> where</c><00:33:20.319><c> the</c><00:33:20.480><c> devil</c><00:33:20.680><c> is.</c>

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.359
And<00:33:21.779><c> this</c><00:33:22.099><c> is</c><00:33:22.359><c> the</c><00:33:22.500><c> devil</c><00:33:22.740><c> of</c><00:33:22.980><c> the</c><00:33:23.119><c> Bible,</c>

00:35:33.380 --> 00:35:34.980
So<00:35:33.579><c> scheming</c><00:35:33.960><c> really,</c><00:35:34.480><c> brother</c><00:35:34.579><c> and</c><00:35:34.780><c> sister,</c>

00:35:35.059 --> 00:35:36.340
it's<00:35:35.300><c> a</c><00:35:35.460><c> short</c><00:35:35.679><c>-term</c><00:35:35.880><c> solution.</c>

00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:39.519
It's<00:35:36.820><c> not</c><00:35:37.239><c> a</c><00:35:37.500><c> good</c><00:35:38.239><c> strategy</c><00:35:38.880><c> for</c><00:35:39.239><c> life</c>

00:35:39.519 --> 00:35:41.380
to<00:35:40.000><c> scheme</c><00:35:40.280><c> our</c><00:35:40.519><c> way</c><00:35:40.659><c> through</c><00:35:40.860><c> a</c><00:35:41.079><c> problem</c>

00:35:41.380 --> 00:35:43.500
and<00:35:41.599><c> think</c><00:35:41.800><c> that,</c><00:35:42.239><c> well,</c><00:35:42.239><c> we've</c><00:35:42.659><c> got</c><00:35:42.760><c> it</c><00:35:43.039><c> accomplished</c>

00:35:43.500 --> 00:35:46.280
sort<00:35:44.039><c> of</c><00:35:44.199><c> like</c><00:35:44.400><c> Esau</c><00:35:44.659><c> did</c><00:35:44.900><c> before</c><00:35:45.320><c> when</c><00:35:45.500><c> we</c><00:35:45.619><c> looked</c><00:35:45.800><c> at,</c>

00:35:46.639 --> 00:35:49.119
it<00:35:46.800><c> has</c><00:35:47.000><c> some</c><00:35:47.260><c> really</c><00:35:47.659><c> bad</c><00:35:47.960><c> long</c><00:35:48.300><c>-term</c><00:35:48.500><c> consequences.</c>

00:35:49.460 --> 00:35:53.059
It<00:35:49.659><c> teaches</c><00:35:49.920><c> our</c><00:35:50.260><c> children</c><00:35:50.760><c> that</c><00:35:51.179><c> we</c><00:35:51.420><c> really</c><00:35:51.639><c> don't</c><00:35:51.860><c> trust</c><00:35:52.119><c> God.</c>

00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:55.019
Our<00:35:53.840><c> children</c><00:35:54.199><c> see</c><00:35:54.460><c> this.</c>

00:35:55.280 --> 00:35:58.519
They<00:35:55.579><c> notice</c><00:35:56.000><c> in</c><00:35:56.280><c> life</c><00:35:56.579><c> when</c><00:35:56.820><c> we</c><00:35:57.179><c> scheme</c><00:35:57.519><c> as</c><00:35:58.019><c> parents</c>

00:35:58.519 --> 00:36:00.300
instead<00:35:59.300><c> of</c><00:35:59.539><c> trusting</c><00:35:59.820><c> God.</c>

00:36:00.619 --> 00:36:04.280
And<00:36:00.840><c> that</c><00:36:01.119><c> means</c><00:36:01.380><c> a</c><00:36:01.659><c> lot</c><00:36:01.820><c> more</c><00:36:02.099><c> to</c><00:36:02.300><c> them</c><00:36:02.619><c> than</c><00:36:02.820><c> our</c><00:36:03.119><c> exhortations.</c>

00:36:04.460 --> 00:36:06.260
They<00:36:04.940><c> watch</c><00:36:05.400><c> how</c><00:36:05.619><c> we</c><00:36:05.800><c> behave.</c>

00:36:06.699 --> 00:36:08.599
They<00:36:06.940><c> watch</c><00:36:07.139><c> how</c><00:36:07.320><c> we</c><00:36:07.539><c> react</c><00:36:07.960><c> to</c><00:36:08.219><c> situations</c>

00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:10.360
that<00:36:08.840><c> go</c><00:36:08.980><c> on</c><00:36:09.099><c> in</c><00:36:09.260><c> our</c><00:36:09.440><c> families.</c>

00:36:10.500 --> 00:36:13.420
And<00:36:10.679><c> then</c><00:36:10.800><c> they</c><00:36:11.000><c> say,</c><00:36:11.440><c> well,</c><00:36:12.079><c> mom</c><00:36:12.159><c> and</c><00:36:12.360><c> dad</c><00:36:12.500><c> say</c><00:36:12.780><c> one</c><00:36:13.079><c> thing,</c>

00:36:13.760 --> 00:36:15.880
but<00:36:14.000><c> then</c><00:36:14.159><c> when</c><00:36:14.280><c> it</c><00:36:14.480><c> comes</c><00:36:14.699><c> time</c><00:36:14.980><c> to</c><00:36:15.239><c> doing</c><00:36:15.460><c> something,</c>

00:36:15.960 --> 00:36:17.320
they<00:36:16.139><c> act</c><00:36:16.340><c> in</c><00:36:16.500><c> a</c><00:36:16.639><c> different</c><00:36:16.820><c> way.</c>

00:36:17.820 --> 00:36:20.460
They're<00:36:18.039><c> schemers</c><00:36:18.719><c> because</c><00:36:19.219><c> they</c><00:36:19.519><c> want</c><00:36:19.619><c> to</c><00:36:19.760><c> get</c><00:36:19.840><c> something</c><00:36:20.159><c> done.</c>

00:36:20.539 --> 00:36:21.920
They<00:36:20.659><c> want</c><00:36:20.800><c> to</c><00:36:20.900><c> get</c><00:36:20.960><c> something</c><00:36:21.239><c> accomplished</c>

00:36:21.920 --> 00:36:24.179
and<00:36:22.059><c> they</c><00:36:22.260><c> don't</c><00:36:22.460><c> care</c><00:36:22.780><c> about</c><00:36:23.300><c> the</c><00:36:23.880><c> damage</c>

00:36:24.179 --> 00:36:27.039
that's<00:36:24.579><c> caused</c><00:36:24.860><c> in</c><00:36:25.139><c> between</c><00:36:25.519><c> and</c><00:36:25.739><c> the</c><00:36:25.980><c> process</c><00:36:26.280><c> that</c><00:36:26.500><c> goes</c><00:36:26.659><c> on.</c>

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:30.179
It's<00:36:27.820><c> not</c><00:36:28.099><c> a</c><00:36:28.300><c> good</c><00:36:28.500><c> strategy</c><00:36:29.099><c> for</c><00:36:29.380><c> going</c><00:36:29.579><c> through</c><00:36:29.840><c> life.</c>

00:36:30.539 --> 00:36:33.059
Instead<00:36:30.860><c> of</c><00:36:31.099><c> telling</c><00:36:31.260><c> our</c><00:36:31.539><c> kids</c><00:36:31.679><c> that</c><00:36:31.840><c> we</c><00:36:31.960><c> trust</c><00:36:32.199><c> God,</c>

00:36:33.019 --> 00:36:35.079
we<00:36:33.239><c> trust</c><00:36:33.699><c> God</c><00:36:33.960><c> and</c><00:36:34.099><c> what</c><00:36:34.179><c> he's</c><00:36:34.400><c> brought</c><00:36:34.519><c> into</c><00:36:34.719><c> our</c><00:36:34.920><c> life.</c>

00:36:35.199 --> 00:36:37.239
We<00:36:35.239><c> lose</c><00:36:35.440><c> our</c><00:36:35.719><c> job</c><00:36:36.039><c> and</c><00:36:36.360><c> we</c><00:36:36.579><c> trust</c><00:36:36.860><c> God.</c>

00:36:37.659 --> 00:36:39.099
Or<00:36:37.780><c> something</c><00:36:38.019><c> goes</c><00:36:38.219><c> wrong</c><00:36:38.480><c> in</c><00:36:38.619><c> the</c><00:36:38.840><c> Ecclesia</c>

00:36:39.099 --> 00:36:42.019
and<00:36:39.280><c> a</c><00:36:39.480><c> decision's</c><00:36:39.860><c> made</c><00:36:39.920><c> we</c><00:36:40.079><c> don't</c><00:36:40.340><c> like</c><00:36:40.579><c> and</c><00:36:40.780><c> we</c><00:36:41.400><c> trust</c><00:36:41.699><c> God.</c>

00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:43.480
God<00:36:42.420><c> is</c><00:36:42.679><c> going</c><00:36:42.820><c> to</c><00:36:43.039><c> work</c><00:36:43.199><c> in</c><00:36:43.340><c> this.</c>

00:36:43.659 --> 00:36:46.340
He'll<00:36:44.079><c> make</c><00:36:44.280><c> things</c><00:36:44.579><c> right</c><00:36:44.920><c> and</c><00:36:45.360><c> he'll</c><00:36:45.599><c> fix</c><00:36:45.800><c> it.</c>

00:36:46.539 --> 00:36:48.699
Scheming<00:36:46.980><c> ends</c><00:36:47.239><c> up</c><00:36:47.739><c> stemming</c><00:36:48.019><c> from</c><00:36:48.300><c> a</c><00:36:48.500><c> belief</c>

00:36:48.699 --> 00:36:51.480
that<00:36:49.019><c> God</c><00:36:49.300><c> needs</c><00:36:49.639><c> us</c><00:36:49.960><c> to</c><00:36:50.179><c> work</c><00:36:50.340><c> everything</c><00:36:50.639><c> out.</c>

00:36:51.699 --> 00:36:53.900
God<00:36:52.139><c> isn't</c><00:36:52.579><c> getting</c><00:36:52.820><c> the</c><00:36:53.099><c> job</c><00:36:53.320><c> done,</c><00:36:53.739><c> right?</c>

00:36:53.900 --> 00:36:55.599
So<00:36:54.099><c> I</c><00:36:54.159><c> got</c><00:36:54.320><c> to</c><00:36:54.500><c> help</c><00:36:54.619><c> him</c><00:36:54.820><c> out</c><00:36:54.940><c> a</c><00:36:55.099><c> little</c><00:36:55.320><c> bit.</c>

00:36:55.840 --> 00:36:57.900
So<00:36:56.139><c> I'm</c><00:36:56.360><c> going</c><00:36:56.420><c> to</c><00:36:56.599><c> sort</c><00:36:56.719><c> of</c><00:36:56.960><c> speed</c><00:36:57.119><c> up</c><00:36:57.320><c> the</c><00:36:57.539><c> process</c>

00:36:57.900 --> 00:37:00.719
and<00:36:58.119><c> make</c><00:36:58.260><c> sure</c><00:36:58.639><c> it</c><00:36:58.980><c> all</c><00:36:59.199><c> turns</c><00:36:59.559><c> out</c><00:37:00.000><c> right.</c>

00:37:00.780 --> 00:37:01.679
That's<00:37:01.219><c> what</c><00:37:01.360><c> happens.</c>

00:37:01.679 --> 00:37:03.599
I<00:37:02.139><c> think</c><00:37:02.420><c> all</c><00:37:02.679><c> of</c><00:37:02.820><c> us</c><00:37:03.059><c> that</c><00:37:03.340><c> scheme,</c>

00:37:03.860 --> 00:37:07.000
we<00:37:03.960><c> all</c><00:37:04.380><c> think</c><00:37:04.599><c> we</c><00:37:04.940><c> know</c><00:37:05.440><c> what</c><00:37:05.920><c> God</c><00:37:06.199><c> wants</c><00:37:06.519><c> out</c><00:37:06.800><c> here,</c>

00:37:07.079 --> 00:37:09.800
or<00:37:07.179><c> at</c><00:37:07.280><c> least</c><00:37:07.519><c> we</c><00:37:07.739><c> think</c><00:37:08.039><c> we</c><00:37:08.260><c> do</c><00:37:08.420><c> or</c><00:37:08.599><c> we</c><00:37:08.739><c> hope</c><00:37:08.940><c> God</c><00:37:09.159><c> wants</c><00:37:09.480><c> this.</c>

00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:11.659
And<00:37:10.239><c> so</c><00:37:10.420><c> we</c><00:37:10.559><c> go</c><00:37:10.780><c> after</c><00:37:11.039><c> it</c><00:37:11.199><c> and</c><00:37:11.239><c> just</c><00:37:11.480><c> figure,</c>

00:37:11.719 --> 00:37:13.940
well,<00:37:11.900><c> we're</c><00:37:12.139><c> going</c><00:37:12.199><c> to</c><00:37:12.320><c> help</c><00:37:12.460><c> God</c><00:37:12.719><c> and</c><00:37:12.900><c> get</c><00:37:13.000><c> it</c><00:37:13.239><c> along</c><00:37:13.460><c> the</c><00:37:13.619><c> way.</c>

00:37:14.340 --> 00:37:16.880
But<00:37:14.500><c> in</c><00:37:14.719><c> the</c><00:37:14.800><c> end,</c><00:37:14.920><c> it</c><00:37:15.039><c> just</c><00:37:15.280><c> leads</c><00:37:15.500><c> to</c><00:37:15.719><c> a</c><00:37:15.719><c> lot</c><00:37:15.900><c> of</c><00:37:16.079><c> anger</c><00:37:16.300><c> and</c><00:37:16.519><c> hatred</c>

00:37:16.880 --> 00:37:19.260
and<00:37:17.039><c> it</c><00:37:17.280><c> really</c><00:37:17.559><c> doesn't</c><00:37:18.460><c> help.</c>

00:37:19.280 --> 00:37:21.280
So<00:37:19.440><c> you</c><00:37:19.579><c> look</c><00:37:19.739><c> at</c><00:37:19.960><c> Jacob's</c><00:37:20.420><c> life</c><00:37:20.619><c> at</c><00:37:20.820><c> this</c><00:37:21.079><c> point,</c>

00:37:21.400 --> 00:37:22.559
you<00:37:21.400><c> look</c><00:37:21.659><c> at,</c><00:37:21.880><c> you</c><00:37:21.920><c> know,</c><00:37:22.039><c> here</c><00:37:22.239><c> he</c><00:37:22.320><c> is</c><00:37:22.460><c> now.</c>

00:37:22.559 --> 00:37:24.880
He's<00:37:22.739><c> got</c><00:37:22.920><c> two</c><00:37:23.199><c> wives,</c><00:37:23.659><c> he's</c><00:37:23.900><c> got</c><00:37:24.039><c> two</c><00:37:24.340><c> handmaids,</c>

00:37:24.880 --> 00:37:27.179
he's<00:37:25.139><c> got</c><00:37:25.219><c> all</c><00:37:25.400><c> these</c><00:37:25.639><c> kids</c><00:37:25.880><c> that</c><00:37:26.179><c> develop</c><00:37:26.380><c> over</c><00:37:26.719><c> time.</c>

00:37:27.179 --> 00:37:31.440
And<00:37:28.000><c> he's,</c><00:37:28.980><c> you</c><00:37:29.099><c> know,</c><00:37:29.559><c> you</c><00:37:29.860><c> look</c><00:37:30.059><c> at</c><00:37:30.239><c> how</c><00:37:30.480><c> he</c><00:37:30.760><c> would</c><00:37:30.980><c> look</c><00:37:31.199><c> back</c>

00:37:31.440 --> 00:37:33.059
at<00:37:31.619><c> the</c><00:37:31.780><c> fact</c><00:37:31.960><c> that</c><00:37:32.260><c> the</c><00:37:32.579><c> former</c><00:37:32.780><c> days,</c>

00:37:33.059 --> 00:37:35.000
I<00:37:33.199><c> used</c><00:37:33.400><c> to</c><00:37:33.519><c> live</c><00:37:33.639><c> down</c><00:37:33.940><c> there</c><00:37:34.099><c> with</c><00:37:34.260><c> mom</c><00:37:34.480><c> and</c><00:37:34.679><c> dad.</c>

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:36.820
I<00:37:35.400><c> think</c><00:37:35.400><c> we</c><00:37:35.539><c> weren't</c><00:37:35.699><c> so</c><00:37:36.019><c> bad</c><00:37:36.239><c> back</c><00:37:36.460><c> there.</c>

00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.800
And<00:37:37.340><c> that's</c><00:37:38.500><c> part</c><00:37:38.679><c> of</c><00:37:38.820><c> what</c><00:37:38.920><c> life</c><00:37:39.139><c> teaches</c><00:37:39.480><c> us.</c>

00:37:40.260 --> 00:37:41.940
His<00:37:40.420><c> brother</c><00:37:40.679><c> Esau</c><00:37:41.099><c> hates</c><00:37:41.400><c> him</c><00:37:41.639><c> now.</c>

00:37:42.199 --> 00:37:44.320
He<00:37:42.340><c> ends</c><00:37:42.500><c> up</c><00:37:42.699><c> with</c><00:37:42.860><c> two</c><00:37:43.099><c> wives</c><00:37:43.400><c> and</c><00:37:43.559><c> two</c><00:37:43.820><c> handmaids.</c>

00:37:44.340 --> 00:37:47.079
He's<00:37:44.559><c> got</c><00:37:44.719><c> 12</c><00:37:45.079><c> children</c><00:37:45.480><c> by</c><00:37:45.699><c> four</c><00:37:45.980><c> different</c><00:37:46.219><c> women.</c>

00:37:47.099 --> 00:37:50.320
His<00:37:47.300><c> family,</c><00:37:48.179><c> instead</c><00:37:48.420><c> of</c><00:37:48.559><c> being</c><00:37:48.699><c> a</c><00:37:48.940><c> family</c><00:37:49.159><c> of</c><00:37:49.460><c> unity,</c>

00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:52.539
they<00:37:50.800><c> all</c><00:37:51.300><c> scheme</c><00:37:51.599><c> against</c><00:37:51.960><c> each</c><00:37:52.219><c> other.</c>

00:37:52.980 --> 00:37:55.019
That's<00:37:53.400><c> what</c><00:37:53.659><c> this</c><00:37:53.960><c> is</c><00:37:54.280><c> developed</c><00:37:54.639><c> into.</c>

00:37:55.019 --> 00:37:57.500
They've<00:37:55.679><c> watched</c><00:37:56.000><c> the</c><00:37:56.219><c> pattern</c><00:37:56.639><c> of</c><00:37:56.880><c> the</c><00:37:57.079><c> parents,</c>

00:37:57.760 --> 00:37:59.539
you<00:37:57.760><c> know,</c><00:37:58.280><c> Laban,</c><00:37:58.739><c> they've</c><00:37:59.039><c> seen</c><00:37:59.280><c> it</c><00:37:59.460><c> all.</c>

00:37:59.679 --> 00:38:01.800
Everybody<00:38:00.000><c> just</c><00:38:00.460><c> schemes</c><00:38:00.679><c> in</c><00:38:00.920><c> this</c><00:38:01.159><c> family</c><00:38:01.400><c> to</c><00:38:01.559><c> get</c><00:38:01.659><c> what</c>

00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:02.300
they<00:38:02.039><c> want.</c>

00:38:02.659 --> 00:38:04.840
And<00:38:02.820><c> the</c><00:38:03.039><c> kids</c><00:38:03.219><c> grew</c><00:38:03.500><c> up</c><00:38:03.719><c> the</c><00:38:04.139><c> same</c><00:38:04.460><c> way.</c>

00:38:04.980 --> 00:38:07.019
The<00:38:05.219><c> apple</c><00:38:05.460><c> didn't</c><00:38:05.739><c> fall</c><00:38:06.079><c> far</c><00:38:06.320><c> from</c><00:38:06.599><c> the</c><00:38:06.780><c> tree</c>

00:38:07.019 --> 00:38:10.239
because<00:38:07.860><c> our</c><00:38:08.340><c> children</c><00:38:08.760><c> watch</c><00:38:09.420><c> what</c><00:38:09.679><c> we</c><00:38:09.880><c> do.</c>

00:38:10.699 --> 00:38:13.519
They<00:38:11.159><c> watch</c><00:38:11.519><c> a</c><00:38:11.780><c> lot</c><00:38:11.920><c> more</c><00:38:12.199><c> than</c><00:38:12.360><c> what</c><00:38:12.559><c> we</c><00:38:12.760><c> say.</c>

00:38:13.940 --> 00:38:15.219
That's<00:38:14.460><c> the</c><00:38:14.539><c> way</c><00:38:14.639><c> life</c><00:38:14.860><c> is.</c>

00:38:15.619 --> 00:38:18.860
So<00:38:15.780><c> his</c><00:38:16.019><c> family</c><00:38:16.280><c> is</c><00:38:16.480><c> just</c><00:38:16.679><c> full</c><00:38:16.900><c> of</c><00:38:17.059><c> jealousy</c><00:38:17.519><c> and</c><00:38:17.960><c> envy</c><00:38:18.219><c> and</c><00:38:18.519><c> anger.</c>

00:38:19.119 --> 00:38:21.619
He<00:38:19.260><c> lives</c><00:38:19.440><c> with</c><00:38:19.659><c> an</c><00:38:19.860><c> uncle</c><00:38:20.179><c> who</c><00:38:20.500><c> sells</c><00:38:20.719><c> his</c><00:38:21.099><c> daughters</c><00:38:21.380><c> off</c>

00:38:21.619 --> 00:38:22.219
for<00:38:21.920><c> profit</c>

00:38:22.219 --> 00:38:23.579
and<00:38:22.440><c> deceives</c><00:38:22.780><c> his</c><00:38:23.000><c> own</c><00:38:23.159><c> family.</c>

00:38:23.579 --> 00:38:27.380
And<00:38:24.239><c> most</c><00:38:24.639><c> of</c><00:38:24.840><c> his</c><00:38:25.000><c> children</c><00:38:25.420><c> don't</c><00:38:25.980><c> love</c><00:38:26.440><c> God.</c>

00:38:27.420 --> 00:38:28.679
That's<00:38:27.659><c> a</c><00:38:27.840><c> frustrating</c><00:38:28.260><c> life.</c>

00:38:28.860 --> 00:38:30.860
For<00:38:28.980><c> everything</c><00:38:29.280><c> he</c><00:38:29.519><c> tried</c><00:38:29.860><c> to</c><00:38:30.039><c> do,</c><00:38:30.679><c> you</c><00:38:30.679><c> know,</c>

00:38:31.039 --> 00:38:33.519
for<00:38:31.039><c> that</c><00:38:31.440><c> prayer</c><00:38:31.639><c> he</c><00:38:31.800><c> made</c><00:38:31.940><c> to</c><00:38:32.139><c> God</c><00:38:32.400><c> that</c><00:38:32.579><c> if</c><00:38:32.719><c> you're</c><00:38:32.920><c> with</c><00:38:33.179><c> me,</c>

00:38:33.519 --> 00:38:35.639
you<00:38:33.760><c> know,</c><00:38:33.820><c> I'm</c><00:38:33.980><c> going</c><00:38:34.139><c> to,</c><00:38:34.579><c> you'll</c><00:38:34.900><c> be</c><00:38:35.019><c> my</c><00:38:35.360><c> God</c>

00:38:35.639 --> 00:38:37.800
and<00:38:35.820><c> you</c><00:38:36.000><c> bring</c><00:38:36.079><c> me</c><00:38:36.300><c> back</c><00:38:36.500><c> to</c><00:38:36.639><c> the</c><00:38:36.820><c> land</c><00:38:37.059><c> and</c><00:38:37.239><c> all</c><00:38:37.440><c> this</c><00:38:37.599><c> stuff.</c>

00:38:37.820 --> 00:38:42.880
And<00:38:37.960><c> now</c><00:38:38.139><c> he's</c><00:38:38.440><c> got</c><00:38:38.639><c> all</c><00:38:39.059><c> this</c><00:38:39.360><c> family</c><00:38:39.960><c> and</c><00:38:40.699><c> they</c><00:38:41.119><c> don't</c><00:38:41.480><c> love</c><00:38:41.940><c> God.</c>

00:38:42.900 --> 00:38:45.519
It<00:38:43.280><c> just</c><00:38:43.500><c> looked</c><00:38:43.679><c> like</c><00:38:43.880><c> it</c><00:38:44.059><c> was</c><00:38:44.300><c> all</c><00:38:44.739><c> falling</c><00:38:45.059><c> apart,</c>

00:38:45.519 --> 00:38:47.760
you<00:38:45.739><c> know,</c><00:38:45.820><c> from</c><00:38:46.019><c> Jacob's</c><00:38:46.579><c> perspective,</c><00:38:46.940><c> you</c><00:38:47.139><c> could</c><00:38:47.340><c> see</c><00:38:47.519><c> that.</c>

00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.559
All<00:38:48.340><c> the</c><00:38:48.559><c> things</c><00:38:48.719><c> he</c><00:38:48.920><c> had</c><00:38:49.119><c> tried</c><00:38:49.280><c> to</c><00:38:49.559><c> accomplish</c><00:38:49.900><c> his</c><00:38:50.119><c> own</c><00:38:50.340><c> way</c>

00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:52.059
had<00:38:50.719><c> just</c><00:38:50.960><c> turned</c><00:38:51.139><c> out</c><00:38:51.340><c> to</c><00:38:51.460><c> be</c><00:38:51.619><c> a</c><00:38:51.760><c> failure.</c>

00:38:52.500 --> 00:38:55.860
So<00:38:52.940><c> what</c><00:38:53.219><c> God</c><00:38:53.460><c> finally</c><00:38:53.820><c> does</c><00:38:54.159><c> after</c><00:38:54.480><c> all</c><00:38:54.719><c> of</c><00:38:54.840><c> this</c><00:38:55.000><c> is</c><00:38:55.159><c> he</c><00:38:55.360><c> intervenes.</c>

00:38:56.099 --> 00:38:57.800
The<00:38:56.119><c> angel</c><00:38:56.280><c> comes</c><00:38:56.579><c> and</c><00:38:56.679><c> talks</c><00:38:56.940><c> to</c><00:38:57.139><c> Jacob</c><00:38:57.360><c> and</c><00:38:57.559><c> says,</c>

00:38:58.019 --> 00:39:00.079
all<00:38:58.059><c> right,</c><00:38:58.219><c> Jacob,</c><00:38:58.619><c> it's</c><00:38:58.920><c> time</c><00:38:59.199><c> to</c><00:38:59.360><c> go</c><00:38:59.579><c> back</c><00:38:59.800><c> home.</c>

00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:01.460
We're<00:39:00.659><c> going</c><00:39:00.739><c> to</c><00:39:00.800><c> get</c><00:39:00.980><c> out</c><00:39:01.099><c> of</c><00:39:01.219><c> here.</c>

00:39:01.659 --> 00:39:04.599
We're<00:39:01.920><c> going</c><00:39:02.039><c> to</c><00:39:02.139><c> take</c><00:39:02.360><c> your</c><00:39:02.639><c> family</c><00:39:02.860><c> and</c><00:39:03.199><c> regrow</c><00:39:03.539><c> them</c><00:39:03.820><c> somewhere</c><00:39:04.159><c> else.</c>

00:39:05.000 --> 00:39:08.420
And<00:39:05.219><c> so</c><00:39:05.480><c> go</c><00:39:05.699><c> back</c><00:39:05.900><c> to</c><00:39:06.079><c> the</c><00:39:06.280><c> land</c><00:39:06.519><c> in</c><00:39:06.860><c> Genesis</c><00:39:07.179><c> 31</c><00:39:07.699><c> at</c><00:39:07.880><c> verse</c><00:39:08.059><c> 3,</c>

00:39:08.460 --> 00:39:10.800
return<00:39:08.820><c> to</c><00:39:09.000><c> the</c><00:39:09.159><c> land</c><00:39:09.280><c> of</c><00:39:09.420><c> your</c><00:39:09.599><c> fathers,</c><00:39:10.199><c> your</c><00:39:10.400><c> family,</c>

00:39:10.800 --> 00:39:11.719
and<00:39:10.960><c> I'll</c><00:39:11.099><c> be</c><00:39:11.260><c> with</c><00:39:11.480><c> you.</c>

00:39:12.039 --> 00:39:14.559
So<00:39:12.239><c> Jacob</c><00:39:12.579><c> sent</c><00:39:12.840><c> and</c><00:39:13.000><c> he</c><00:39:13.159><c> called</c><00:39:13.300><c> Rachel</c><00:39:13.719><c> and</c><00:39:13.920><c> Leah</c><00:39:14.039><c> to</c><00:39:14.199><c> the</c><00:39:14.400><c> field</c>

00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:17.940
And<00:39:15.760><c> he</c><00:39:15.900><c> said</c><00:39:16.099><c> to</c><00:39:16.239><c> them,</c><00:39:16.519><c> I</c><00:39:16.659><c> see</c><00:39:16.900><c> your</c><00:39:17.159><c> father's</c><00:39:17.579><c> countenance</c>

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:20.179
that<00:39:18.159><c> it's</c><00:39:18.420><c> not</c><00:39:18.760><c> favorable</c><00:39:19.159><c> toward</c><00:39:19.440><c> me</c><00:39:19.639><c> as</c><00:39:19.800><c> before,</c>

00:39:23.739 --> 00:39:26.300
So<00:39:24.300><c> when</c><00:39:24.860><c> we're</c><00:39:25.139><c> looking</c><00:39:25.460><c> for</c><00:39:25.880><c> direction,</c>

00:39:26.800 --> 00:39:29.440
when<00:39:26.980><c> we</c><00:39:27.159><c> realize</c><00:39:27.559><c> that</c><00:39:27.860><c> our</c><00:39:28.079><c> scheming</c><00:39:28.400><c> through</c><00:39:28.599><c> life</c><00:39:28.780><c> hasn't</c><00:39:29.119><c> worked</c>

00:39:29.440 --> 00:39:33.460
or<00:39:30.039><c> our</c><00:39:30.340><c> colleges</c><00:39:30.599><c> are</c><00:39:30.860><c> into</c><00:39:31.079><c> trouble,</c><00:39:31.840><c> our</c><00:39:32.039><c> families</c><00:39:32.440><c> are</c><00:39:32.760><c> in</c><00:39:33.019><c> trouble,</c>

00:39:33.699 --> 00:39:36.360
we<00:39:34.000><c> talk</c><00:39:34.280><c> to</c><00:39:34.500><c> God</c><00:39:34.800><c> and</c><00:39:35.099><c> we</c><00:39:35.440><c> ask</c><00:39:35.760><c> for</c><00:39:36.059><c> help</c>

00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:39.059

00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.980
The<00:39:39.679><c> answers</c><00:39:40.099><c> may</c><00:39:40.320><c> not</c><00:39:40.539><c> always</c><00:39:40.780><c> be</c><00:39:40.980><c> what</c><00:39:41.159><c> we</c><00:39:41.420><c> were</c><00:39:41.579><c> expecting,</c>

00:39:42.059 --> 00:39:43.760
but<00:39:42.380><c> God</c><00:39:42.820><c> will</c><00:39:43.099><c> help</c><00:39:43.320><c> us.</c>

00:39:43.820 --> 00:39:46.280
And<00:39:44.019><c> in</c><00:39:44.139><c> this</c><00:39:44.380><c> case,</c><00:39:44.519><c> he</c><00:39:44.760><c> steps</c><00:39:45.039><c> in</c><00:39:45.300><c> when</c><00:39:45.519><c> the</c><00:39:45.760><c> family</c><00:39:46.019><c> issues</c>

00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:49.579
were<00:39:46.460><c> pretty</c><00:39:46.739><c> bad</c><00:39:47.119><c> and</c><00:39:47.699><c> he</c><00:39:47.900><c> tells</c><00:39:48.099><c> Jacob</c><00:39:48.440><c> to</c><00:39:48.860><c> go</c><00:39:49.059><c> back</c><00:39:49.280><c> home.</c>

00:39:49.579 --> 00:39:51.340
Jacob<00:39:50.099><c> meets</c><00:39:50.440><c> with</c><00:39:50.719><c> Rachel</c><00:39:51.039><c> and</c><00:39:51.239><c> Leah,</c>

00:39:51.539 --> 00:39:53.019
probably<00:39:51.659><c> wondering,</c><00:39:52.099><c> are</c><00:39:52.099><c> they</c><00:39:52.239><c> going</c><00:39:52.380><c> to</c><00:39:52.460><c> agree</c><00:39:52.659><c> to</c><00:39:52.800><c> this?</c>

00:39:53.320 --> 00:39:54.940
They<00:39:53.539><c> look</c><00:39:53.719><c> at</c><00:39:53.880><c> him</c><00:39:54.019><c> and</c><00:39:54.099><c> say,</c><00:39:54.260><c> are</c><00:39:54.360><c> you</c><00:39:54.659><c> kidding?</c>

00:39:55.199 --> 00:39:56.639
You<00:39:55.199><c> know,</c><00:39:55.420><c> our</c><00:39:55.559><c> dad</c><00:39:55.760><c> just</c><00:39:56.099><c> sold</c><00:39:56.239><c> us</c><00:39:56.500><c> off.</c>

00:39:56.639 --> 00:39:57.699
He<00:39:56.739><c> doesn't</c><00:39:57.000><c> care</c><00:39:57.260><c> about</c><00:39:57.500><c> us.</c>

00:39:58.119 --> 00:39:59.260
So<00:39:58.320><c> away</c><00:39:58.559><c> they</c><00:39:58.860><c> go.</c>

00:39:59.380 --> 00:40:01.199
And<00:39:59.579><c> that's</c><00:40:00.300><c> what</c><00:40:00.579><c> God</c><00:40:00.860><c> does.</c>

00:40:01.239 --> 00:40:02.840
He<00:40:01.400><c> brings</c><00:40:01.699><c> the</c><00:40:01.980><c> family.</c>

00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:04.500
And<00:40:03.179><c> as</c><00:40:03.400><c> they</c><00:40:03.619><c> come</c><00:40:03.820><c> back</c><00:40:04.119><c> through,</c>

00:40:04.820 --> 00:40:06.719
you'll<00:40:05.039><c> notice</c><00:40:05.159><c> how</c><00:40:05.440><c> Jacob's</c><00:40:05.980><c> growing</c><00:40:06.159><c> spiritually.</c>

00:40:07.019 --> 00:40:10.400
When<00:40:07.280><c> it</c><00:40:07.440><c> comes</c><00:40:07.679><c> time</c><00:40:07.940><c> to</c><00:40:08.139><c> talk</c><00:40:08.400><c> to</c><00:40:08.639><c> Laban</c><00:40:08.880><c> later</c><00:40:09.179><c> on</c><00:40:09.380><c> in</c><00:40:09.579><c> Genesis</c><00:40:09.900><c> 31</c>

00:40:10.400 --> 00:40:14.619
at<00:40:10.599><c> verse</c><00:40:10.800><c> 42,</c><00:40:11.900><c> he</c><00:40:12.280><c> clearly</c><00:40:12.880><c> gives</c><00:40:13.340><c> God</c><00:40:13.900><c> the</c><00:40:14.260><c> credit</c>

00:40:14.619 --> 00:40:16.679
for<00:40:15.019><c> having</c><00:40:15.480><c> given</c><00:40:15.780><c> him</c><00:40:16.059><c> so</c><00:40:16.380><c> much.</c>

00:40:17.099 --> 00:40:18.980
It's<00:40:17.400><c> not</c><00:40:17.559><c> anymore</c><00:40:17.900><c> that,</c><00:40:18.260><c> well,</c><00:40:18.280><c> I</c><00:40:18.559><c> schemed,</c>

00:40:18.980 --> 00:40:22.820
I<00:40:19.380><c> did</c><00:40:19.539><c> all</c><00:40:19.760><c> this</c><00:40:19.940><c> stuff</c><00:40:20.300><c> and</c><00:40:20.659><c> therefore</c><00:40:21.179><c> I</c><00:40:21.719><c> got</c><00:40:22.079><c> all</c><00:40:22.460><c> this.</c>

00:40:23.159 --> 00:40:26.400
It's<00:40:23.400><c> that,</c><00:40:23.780><c> wait</c><00:40:23.940><c> a</c><00:40:24.099><c> minute,</c><00:40:24.320><c> Laban,</c><00:40:25.079><c> God</c><00:40:25.420><c> gave</c><00:40:25.780><c> me</c><00:40:26.019><c> this.</c>

00:40:26.800 --> 00:40:28.579
God's<00:40:27.239><c> been</c><00:40:27.360><c> in</c><00:40:27.639><c> control</c><00:40:27.920><c> of</c><00:40:28.079><c> all</c><00:40:28.280><c> this.</c>

00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:30.880
Oh,<00:40:29.159><c> it</c><00:40:29.280><c> may</c><00:40:29.320><c> be</c><00:40:29.539><c> true</c><00:40:29.739><c> that</c><00:40:29.900><c> he</c><00:40:30.059><c> went</c><00:40:30.179><c> through</c><00:40:30.320><c> this</c><00:40:30.380><c> process</c>

00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:32.800
of<00:40:31.099><c> doing</c><00:40:31.320><c> the</c><00:40:31.539><c> rods</c><00:40:31.800><c> and</c><00:40:32.079><c> striping</c><00:40:32.400><c> the</c><00:40:32.599><c> rods</c>

00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:33.619
and<00:40:32.940><c> all</c><00:40:33.079><c> that</c><00:40:33.239><c> kind</c><00:40:33.400><c> of</c><00:40:33.539><c> stuff,</c>

00:40:33.619 --> 00:40:35.460
but<00:40:33.760><c> I</c><00:40:33.860><c> think</c><00:40:34.019><c> he</c><00:40:34.559><c> was</c><00:40:34.739><c> an</c><00:40:34.940><c> animal</c><00:40:35.199><c> breeder</c>

00:40:35.460 --> 00:40:37.019
and<00:40:35.619><c> he</c><00:40:35.800><c> understood</c><00:40:36.179><c> how</c><00:40:36.400><c> that</c><00:40:36.679><c> works.</c>

00:40:37.360 --> 00:40:40.500
You<00:40:37.539><c> can</c><00:40:37.760><c> take</c><00:40:38.000><c> animals</c><00:40:38.460><c> and</c><00:40:38.719><c> you</c><00:40:38.800><c> can</c><00:40:39.559><c> get</c><00:40:39.739><c> them</c><00:40:39.960><c> excited</c>

00:40:40.500 --> 00:40:42.139
by<00:40:40.920><c> striping</c><00:40:41.260><c> the</c><00:40:41.480><c> rods</c><00:40:41.679><c> like</c><00:40:41.980><c> that.</c>

00:40:42.420 --> 00:40:44.480
The<00:40:42.639><c> people</c><00:40:42.820><c> that</c><00:40:43.019><c> are</c><00:40:43.139><c> into</c><00:40:43.260><c> the</c><00:40:43.639><c> agricultural</c><00:40:44.119><c> stuff</c>

00:40:44.480 --> 00:40:47.400
realize<00:40:44.840><c> this</c><00:40:45.119><c> with</c><00:40:45.440><c> breeding</c><00:40:45.739><c> that</c><00:40:46.119><c> when</c><00:40:46.340><c> they</c><00:40:46.559><c> see</c><00:40:46.739><c> the</c><00:40:47.079><c> stripes,</c>

00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:50.039
just<00:40:47.739><c> like</c><00:40:48.039><c> when</c><00:40:48.400><c> they</c><00:40:48.619><c> see</c><00:40:49.059><c> some</c><00:40:49.320><c> of</c><00:40:49.400><c> the</c><00:40:49.619><c> stripes</c><00:40:49.820><c> that</c><00:40:50.000><c> are</c>

00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:50.300
out<00:40:50.179><c> there</c>

00:40:50.300 --> 00:40:52.880
and<00:40:50.480><c> the</c><00:40:51.280><c> differences</c><00:40:51.719><c> between</c><00:40:52.139><c> the</c><00:40:52.320><c> black</c><00:40:52.460><c> and</c><00:40:52.679><c> whites,</c>

00:40:52.940 --> 00:40:54.119
it<00:40:53.059><c> gets</c><00:40:53.300><c> their</c><00:40:53.519><c> adrenaline</c><00:40:53.880><c> up</c>

00:40:54.119 --> 00:40:56.699
and<00:40:54.280><c> they</c><00:40:54.440><c> get</c><00:40:54.599><c> that</c><00:40:55.579><c> flight</c><00:40:55.820><c> or</c><00:40:56.039><c> fight</c><00:40:56.320><c> reflex.</c>

00:40:57.079 --> 00:40:59.500
But<00:40:57.219><c> it</c><00:40:57.420><c> also</c><00:40:57.699><c> happens</c><00:40:58.079><c> to</c><00:40:58.239><c> be</c><00:40:58.340><c> when</c><00:40:58.480><c> that</c><00:40:58.780><c> adrenaline's</c><00:40:59.280><c> pumping</c>

00:40:59.500 --> 00:41:01.400
that<00:40:59.739><c> that's</c><00:40:59.960><c> when</c><00:41:00.079><c> they</c><00:41:00.280><c> feel</c><00:41:00.500><c> like</c><00:41:00.739><c> mating.</c>

00:41:01.460 --> 00:41:04.380
So<00:41:01.760><c> Jacob</c><00:41:01.960><c> was</c><00:41:02.300><c> using</c><00:41:02.619><c> that</c><00:41:02.900><c> as</c><00:41:03.119><c> a</c><00:41:03.280><c> mating</c><00:41:03.500><c> control</c><00:41:03.920><c> mechanism</c>

00:41:04.380 --> 00:41:05.719
and<00:41:04.659><c> God</c><00:41:04.920><c> bless</c><00:41:05.239><c> the</c><00:41:05.500><c> efforts.</c>

00:41:05.780 --> 00:41:07.940
If<00:41:05.900><c> you're</c><00:41:06.119><c> ever</c><00:41:06.380><c> wondering</c><00:41:06.699><c> why</c><00:41:07.059><c> that</c><00:41:07.300><c> actually</c><00:41:07.579><c> happened,</c>

00:41:08.260 --> 00:41:10.039
I<00:41:08.460><c> was</c><00:41:08.599><c> always</c><00:41:08.800><c> curious</c><00:41:09.119><c> about</c><00:41:09.440><c> that</c><00:41:09.559><c> in</c><00:41:09.739><c> biology.</c>

00:41:10.260 --> 00:41:11.420
It's<00:41:10.500><c> no</c><00:41:10.659><c> mystical</c><00:41:11.119><c> thing.</c>

00:41:11.440 --> 00:41:13.679
It's<00:41:11.699><c> just</c><00:41:11.900><c> something</c><00:41:12.159><c> that's</c><00:41:12.599><c> a</c><00:41:12.840><c> physical</c><00:41:13.119><c> process</c>

00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:15.440
that<00:41:13.940><c> triggers</c><00:41:14.500><c> the</c><00:41:14.780><c> hormone</c><00:41:15.039><c> releasing.</c>

00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:18.320
So<00:41:16.219><c> he</c><00:41:16.760><c> got</c><00:41:17.059><c> all</c><00:41:17.320><c> this</c><00:41:17.599><c> stuff</c><00:41:17.780><c> in</c><00:41:18.039><c> a</c><00:41:18.159><c> sense.</c>

00:41:18.699 --> 00:41:20.079
So<00:41:18.699><c> God</c><00:41:19.179><c> had</c><00:41:19.400><c> worked</c><00:41:19.619><c> with</c><00:41:19.820><c> him,</c>

00:41:20.239 --> 00:41:23.380
but<00:41:20.480><c> he</c><00:41:20.760><c> gives</c><00:41:21.099><c> God</c><00:41:21.420><c> the</c><00:41:21.800><c> credit</c><00:41:22.039><c> for</c><00:41:22.219><c> what</c><00:41:22.380><c> had</c><00:41:22.579><c> happened.</c>

00:41:23.420 --> 00:41:25.800
And<00:41:23.539><c> again,</c><00:41:23.719><c> God</c><00:41:23.980><c> warns</c><00:41:24.420><c> Laban</c><00:41:24.619><c> not</c><00:41:24.880><c> to</c><00:41:25.039><c> intervene</c><00:41:25.320><c> with</c><00:41:25.619><c> Jacob</c>

00:41:25.800 --> 00:41:27.300
and<00:41:26.019><c> says,</c><00:41:26.179><c> you</c><00:41:26.320><c> know,</c><00:41:26.460><c> don't</c><00:41:26.619><c> get</c><00:41:26.820><c> involved</c>

00:41:27.300 --> 00:41:28.800
and<00:41:28.059><c> let</c><00:41:28.280><c> Jacob</c><00:41:28.579><c> go.</c>

00:41:28.880 --> 00:41:29.619
And<00:41:28.980><c> so</c><00:41:29.099><c> he</c><00:41:29.239><c> does.</c>

00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:32.219
Now,<00:41:30.219><c> what</c><00:41:30.420><c> God</c><00:41:30.679><c> does</c><00:41:30.900><c> at</c><00:41:31.079><c> this</c><00:41:31.320><c> point</c><00:41:31.480><c> in</c><00:41:31.699><c> Jacob's</c><00:41:32.119><c> life</c>

00:41:32.219 --> 00:41:34.840
is<00:41:32.480><c> he</c><00:41:32.780><c> makes</c><00:41:33.019><c> him</c><00:41:33.320><c> face</c><00:41:33.679><c> the</c><00:41:33.980><c> past.</c>

00:41:34.900 --> 00:41:36.679
And<00:41:35.059><c> I</c><00:41:35.139><c> think</c><00:41:35.300><c> the</c><00:41:35.559><c> angels</c><00:41:35.739><c> are</c><00:41:35.940><c> really</c><00:41:36.159><c> good</c><00:41:36.320><c> at</c><00:41:36.500><c> that.</c>

00:41:36.679 --> 00:41:38.840
They<00:41:36.840><c> don't</c><00:41:36.980><c> just</c><00:41:37.239><c> let</c><00:41:37.340><c> us</c><00:41:37.619><c> make</c><00:41:37.800><c> the</c><00:41:38.019><c> mistakes</c><00:41:38.280><c> of</c><00:41:38.440><c> the</c><00:41:38.639><c> past</c>

00:41:38.840 --> 00:41:40.139
and<00:41:38.980><c> just</c><00:41:39.239><c> leave</c><00:41:39.380><c> them</c><00:41:39.539><c> sometimes.</c>

00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:43.519
We<00:41:40.679><c> have</c><00:41:40.860><c> to</c><00:41:41.019><c> go</c><00:41:41.260><c> back</c><00:41:41.440><c> sometimes</c><00:41:41.940><c> and</c><00:41:42.360><c> face</c><00:41:42.760><c> the</c><00:41:43.079><c> people</c>

00:41:43.519 --> 00:41:45.679
that<00:41:44.159><c> we</c><00:41:44.420><c> have</c><00:41:44.739><c> made</c><00:41:44.920><c> mistakes</c><00:41:45.360><c> with.</c>

00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:46.820
And<00:41:46.099><c> this</c><00:41:46.260><c> is</c><00:41:46.480><c> good.</c>

00:41:47.320 --> 00:41:49.340
This<00:41:47.559><c> is</c><00:41:47.659><c> what</c><00:41:47.760><c> we're</c><00:41:48.000><c> supposed</c><00:41:48.500><c> to</c><00:41:48.699><c> do</c><00:41:48.840><c> in</c><00:41:49.099><c> life.</c>

00:41:49.739 --> 00:41:52.599
So<00:41:49.900><c> in</c><00:41:50.099><c> Genesis</c><00:41:50.320><c> 32,</c><00:41:50.800><c> you</c><00:41:51.139><c> see</c><00:41:51.380><c> how</c><00:41:51.719><c> he</c><00:41:51.980><c> comes</c><00:41:52.239><c> down</c>

00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:55.079
and<00:41:52.699><c> now</c><00:41:53.059><c> he's</c><00:41:53.360><c> going</c><00:41:53.440><c> to</c><00:41:53.539><c> have</c><00:41:53.679><c> to</c><00:41:53.840><c> face</c><00:41:54.139><c> Esau,</c><00:41:54.619><c> right?</c>

00:41:55.400 --> 00:41:57.159
And<00:41:55.619><c> so</c><00:41:55.739><c> he</c><00:41:55.840><c> has</c><00:41:56.059><c> to</c><00:41:56.320><c> face</c><00:41:56.539><c> the</c><00:41:56.760><c> very</c><00:41:57.039><c> one</c>

00:41:57.159 --> 00:41:58.860
he<00:41:57.340><c> had</c><00:41:57.500><c> deceived</c><00:41:57.800><c> and</c><00:41:58.119><c> schemed</c><00:41:58.440><c> against</c>

00:41:58.860 --> 00:42:00.739
and<00:41:59.219><c> taken</c><00:41:59.460><c> the</c><00:41:59.960><c> birthright</c><00:42:00.440><c> from</c>

00:42:00.739 --> 00:42:02.059
and<00:42:01.000><c> taken</c><00:42:01.179><c> the</c><00:42:01.440><c> blessing</c><00:42:01.739><c> from.</c>

00:42:02.360 --> 00:42:03.940
And<00:42:02.519><c> now</c><00:42:02.719><c> he's</c><00:42:02.940><c> going</c><00:42:03.039><c> to</c><00:42:03.139><c> have</c><00:42:03.300><c> to</c><00:42:03.480><c> face</c><00:42:03.679><c> him.</c>

00:42:04.119 --> 00:42:05.659
And<00:42:04.460><c> this</c><00:42:04.679><c> is</c><00:42:04.820><c> what</c><00:42:05.059><c> angels</c><00:42:05.360><c> do.</c>

00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:07.699
They<00:42:06.199><c> bring</c><00:42:06.480><c> these</c><00:42:06.719><c> events</c><00:42:07.000><c> into</c><00:42:07.260><c> our</c><00:42:07.519><c> life</c>

00:42:07.699 --> 00:42:09.760
to<00:42:07.980><c> make</c><00:42:08.079><c> us</c><00:42:08.360><c> face</c><00:42:08.599><c> these</c><00:42:08.960><c> past</c><00:42:09.179><c> mistakes</c>

00:42:09.760 --> 00:42:12.380
so<00:42:10.179><c> that</c><00:42:10.360><c> we'll</c><00:42:10.659><c> admit</c><00:42:10.960><c> our</c><00:42:11.219><c> mistakes</c><00:42:11.639><c> to</c><00:42:11.880><c> our</c><00:42:12.139><c> God</c>

00:42:12.380 --> 00:42:16.159
and<00:42:12.559><c> to</c><00:42:12.719><c> each</c><00:42:12.960><c> other</c><00:42:13.380><c> and</c><00:42:13.679><c> we</c><00:42:13.880><c> can</c><00:42:14.119><c> try</c><00:42:14.519><c> to</c><00:42:14.800><c> move</c><00:42:15.199><c> forward.</c>

00:42:16.199 --> 00:42:18.699
Otherwise,<00:42:16.840><c> the</c><00:42:17.019><c> past</c><00:42:17.300><c> always</c><00:42:17.659><c> is</c><00:42:17.840><c> there</c><00:42:18.000><c> to</c><00:42:18.159><c> haunt</c><00:42:18.360><c> us.</c>

00:42:18.980 --> 00:42:20.679
And<00:42:19.219><c> it's</c><00:42:19.400><c> good</c><00:42:19.659><c> that</c><00:42:19.860><c> God</c><00:42:20.039><c> will</c><00:42:20.199><c> do</c><00:42:20.400><c> that.</c>

00:42:20.719 --> 00:42:22.659
So<00:42:21.059><c> you</c><00:42:21.400><c> learn</c><00:42:21.599><c> to</c><00:42:21.860><c> try</c><00:42:22.000><c> to</c><00:42:22.119><c> be</c><00:42:22.320><c> helpful.</c>

00:42:22.719 --> 00:42:25.159
And<00:42:22.860><c> he</c><00:42:22.960><c> comes</c><00:42:23.199><c> down</c><00:42:23.539><c> to</c><00:42:23.719><c> the</c><00:42:23.880><c> river</c><00:42:24.079><c> Jabak</c><00:42:24.539><c> right</c><00:42:24.820><c> there.</c>

00:42:25.340 --> 00:42:26.599
He's<00:42:25.639><c> taking</c><00:42:25.820><c> his</c><00:42:26.119><c> family</c><00:42:26.340><c> down.</c>

00:42:26.699 --> 00:42:28.679
He<00:42:26.739><c> gets</c><00:42:26.920><c> as</c><00:42:27.199><c> far</c><00:42:27.360><c> as</c><00:42:27.579><c> coming</c><00:42:27.800><c> down</c><00:42:28.119><c> through</c><00:42:28.280><c> the</c><00:42:28.460><c> river,</c>

00:42:28.679 --> 00:42:31.320
which<00:42:28.860><c> is</c><00:42:29.119><c> about</c><00:42:29.320><c> halfway</c><00:42:29.599><c> down</c><00:42:30.099><c> in</c><00:42:30.400><c> the</c><00:42:30.559><c> Jabak</c><00:42:30.840><c> River</c><00:42:30.960><c> right</c><00:42:31.179><c> there.</c>

00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:33.199
He<00:42:31.559><c> crosses</c><00:42:31.840><c> the</c><00:42:32.159><c> family</c><00:42:32.380><c> over,</c><00:42:32.860><c> right?</c>

00:42:33.500 --> 00:42:34.260
It's<00:42:33.719><c> a</c><00:42:33.820><c> long</c><00:42:33.980><c> trip.</c>

00:42:34.300 --> 00:42:36.619
It's<00:42:34.360><c> about</c><00:42:34.599><c> 500</c><00:42:34.920><c> miles</c><00:42:35.360><c> as</c><00:42:35.639><c> he's</c><00:42:35.960><c> taking</c><00:42:36.159><c> all</c><00:42:36.380><c> of</c><00:42:36.480><c> them.</c>

00:42:36.900 --> 00:42:37.739
And<00:42:37.039><c> he's</c><00:42:37.260><c> in</c><00:42:37.420><c> trouble.</c>

00:42:38.179 --> 00:42:38.980
Laban's<00:42:38.500><c> behind</c><00:42:38.780><c> him.</c>

00:42:39.460 --> 00:42:40.460
Esau's<00:42:39.840><c> in</c><00:42:40.019><c> front</c><00:42:40.139><c> of</c><00:42:40.280><c> him.</c>

00:42:40.579 --> 00:42:41.840
His<00:42:40.860><c> family's</c><00:42:41.260><c> all</c><00:42:41.420><c> divided.</c>

00:42:41.840 --> 00:42:43.079
They<00:42:42.119><c> don't</c><00:42:42.320><c> love</c><00:42:42.619><c> God.</c>

00:42:43.519 --> 00:42:45.159
Rachel<00:42:43.780><c> stole</c><00:42:44.099><c> the</c><00:42:44.300><c> household</c><00:42:44.659><c> gods.</c>

00:42:45.519 --> 00:42:47.460
And<00:42:45.559><c> he's</c><00:42:45.760><c> moving</c><00:42:46.000><c> back</c><00:42:46.340><c> home</c><00:42:46.519><c> with</c><00:42:46.679><c> this</c><00:42:46.880><c> big</c><00:42:47.119><c> family.</c>

00:42:47.500 --> 00:42:48.539
What<00:42:47.679><c> is</c><00:42:47.880><c> he</c><00:42:47.960><c> going</c><00:42:48.099><c> to</c><00:42:48.260><c> do?</c>

00:42:48.800 --> 00:42:50.599
And<00:42:48.960><c> when</c><00:42:49.219><c> things</c><00:42:49.500><c> are</c><00:42:49.760><c> at</c><00:42:49.860><c> the</c><00:42:50.179><c> worst</c>

00:42:50.599 --> 00:42:52.980
and<00:42:51.440><c> all</c><00:42:51.679><c> this</c><00:42:51.900><c> is</c><00:42:52.099><c> piling</c><00:42:52.360><c> up</c><00:42:52.559><c> on</c><00:42:52.760><c> Jacob,</c>

00:42:53.000 --> 00:42:55.840
he<00:42:53.239><c> finally</c><00:42:53.619><c> realizes</c><00:42:54.139><c> he</c><00:42:54.760><c> can't</c><00:42:55.380><c> do</c><00:42:55.599><c> it.</c>

00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:58.880
And<00:42:56.480><c> this</c><00:42:56.900><c> is</c><00:42:57.139><c> what</c><00:42:57.400><c> God</c><00:42:57.719><c> does</c><00:42:58.000><c> to</c><00:42:58.219><c> us</c><00:42:58.460><c> in</c><00:42:58.699><c> life.</c>

00:42:58.940 --> 00:43:02.019
He<00:42:59.179><c> finally</c><00:42:59.559><c> piles</c><00:43:00.000><c> enough</c><00:43:00.380><c> on</c><00:43:00.780><c> that</c><00:43:01.159><c> we</c><00:43:01.380><c> finally</c><00:43:01.780><c> realize,</c>

00:43:02.019 --> 00:43:03.119
I<00:43:02.199><c> can't</c><00:43:02.579><c> solve</c><00:43:02.860><c> this.</c>

00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:04.860
I<00:43:03.340><c> can't</c><00:43:03.699><c> ski</c><00:43:03.940><c> my</c><00:43:04.139><c> way</c><00:43:04.300><c> out</c><00:43:04.480><c> of</c><00:43:04.619><c> this.</c>

00:43:05.179 --> 00:43:06.380
This<00:43:05.380><c> is</c><00:43:05.579><c> too</c><00:43:05.820><c> big</c><00:43:05.980><c> for</c><00:43:06.179><c> me.</c>

00:43:06.420 --> 00:43:07.920
And<00:43:06.539><c> he</c><00:43:06.760><c> wrestles</c><00:43:07.239><c> with</c><00:43:07.460><c> the</c><00:43:07.679><c> angel.</c>

00:43:08.199 --> 00:43:10.659
You<00:43:08.340><c> know</c><00:43:08.559><c> the</c><00:43:08.840><c> story</c><00:43:09.079><c> of</c><00:43:09.260><c> Jacob</c><00:43:09.579><c> wrestling</c><00:43:09.960><c> with</c><00:43:10.219><c> the</c><00:43:10.420><c> angel.</c>

00:43:10.659 --> 00:43:13.500
You<00:43:11.019><c> can</c><00:43:11.320><c> see</c><00:43:11.460><c> what</c><00:43:11.599><c> ends</c><00:43:11.800><c> up</c><00:43:12.059><c> happening</c><00:43:12.280><c> as</c><00:43:12.500><c> he</c><00:43:12.980><c> wrestles.</c>

00:43:13.659 --> 00:43:15.519
The<00:43:13.780><c> problem</c><00:43:14.059><c> is</c><00:43:14.340><c> we</c><00:43:14.460><c> end</c><00:43:14.639><c> up</c><00:43:14.820><c> reading</c><00:43:14.980><c> this</c><00:43:15.239><c> thinking</c>

00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:17.260
that<00:43:15.739><c> he's</c><00:43:15.940><c> having</c><00:43:16.119><c> some</c><00:43:16.380><c> great</c><00:43:16.659><c> wrestling</c><00:43:16.940><c> match</c>

00:43:17.260 --> 00:43:19.079
and<00:43:17.480><c> they're</c><00:43:17.519><c> on</c><00:43:17.619><c> the</c><00:43:17.820><c> ground,</c><00:43:18.079><c> you</c><00:43:18.079><c> know,</c><00:43:18.360><c> wrestling</c><00:43:18.659><c> away</c>

00:43:19.079 --> 00:43:21.340
and,<00:43:19.539><c> you</c><00:43:19.679><c> know,</c><00:43:19.920><c> who's</c><00:43:20.300><c> the</c><00:43:20.519><c> stronger</c><00:43:20.780><c> person.</c>

00:43:21.619 --> 00:43:24.539
But<00:43:22.059><c> really</c><00:43:22.619><c> when</c><00:43:22.760><c> you</c><00:43:22.920><c> look</c><00:43:23.059><c> at</c><00:43:23.219><c> what</c><00:43:23.480><c> happens</c><00:43:23.920><c> in</c><00:43:24.159><c> Hosea,</c>

00:43:24.539 --> 00:43:26.300
that<00:43:24.780><c> is</c><00:43:25.000><c> the</c><00:43:25.159><c> whole</c><00:43:25.380><c> story.</c>

00:43:26.360 --> 00:43:28.360
God<00:43:26.579><c> had</c><00:43:26.880><c> promised</c><00:43:27.300><c> to</c><00:43:27.500><c> bring</c><00:43:27.619><c> Jacob</c><00:43:27.920><c> back</c>

00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:29.860
and<00:43:28.599><c> give</c><00:43:28.699><c> him</c><00:43:28.840><c> the</c><00:43:28.980><c> blessing</c><00:43:29.219><c> of</c><00:43:29.460><c> Abraham.</c>

00:43:30.139 --> 00:43:33.239
But<00:43:30.400><c> now</c><00:43:30.860><c> it</c><00:43:31.119><c> just</c><00:43:31.420><c> seems</c><00:43:31.579><c> like</c><00:43:31.880><c> everything</c><00:43:32.199><c> is</c><00:43:32.619><c> falling</c><00:43:32.820><c> apart.</c>

00:43:33.260 --> 00:43:36.219
And<00:43:33.539><c> so</c><00:43:33.679><c> what</c><00:43:33.820><c> he</c><00:43:34.139><c> does</c><00:43:34.539><c> when</c><00:43:34.739><c> the</c><00:43:34.980><c> angel</c><00:43:35.119><c> comes</c><00:43:35.360><c> to</c><00:43:35.599><c> talk</c><00:43:35.800><c> to</c><00:43:35.940><c> him</c>

00:43:36.219 --> 00:43:40.119
is<00:43:36.679><c> he</c><00:43:37.000><c> grabs</c><00:43:37.420><c> onto</c><00:43:37.860><c> the</c><00:43:38.159><c> angel</c><00:43:38.480><c> and</c><00:43:38.739><c> he</c><00:43:39.239><c> holds</c><00:43:39.579><c> onto</c><00:43:39.880><c> him</c>

00:43:40.119 --> 00:43:43.659
and<00:43:40.219><c> he</c><00:43:40.420><c> won't</c><00:43:40.920><c> let</c><00:43:41.159><c> him</c><00:43:41.519><c> go,</c><00:43:42.380><c> which</c><00:43:42.599><c> our</c><00:43:42.860><c> Bible</c><00:43:43.099><c> describes</c>

00:43:43.659 --> 00:43:45.059
as<00:43:43.960><c> wrestling</c><00:43:44.340><c> with</c><00:43:44.679><c> the</c><00:43:44.880><c> angel.</c>

00:43:45.159 --> 00:43:46.940
He's<00:43:45.460><c> not</c><00:43:45.619><c> gonna</c><00:43:45.719><c> let</c><00:43:45.860><c> him</c><00:43:46.019><c> go.</c>

00:43:47.059 --> 00:43:51.019
Hosea<00:43:47.239><c> says,</c><00:43:48.000><c> when</c><00:43:48.139><c> you</c><00:43:48.320><c> look</c><00:43:48.519><c> at</c><00:43:49.059><c> Hosea</c><00:43:49.500><c> 12</c><00:43:49.920><c> in</c><00:43:50.420><c> verse</c><00:43:50.739><c> four,</c>

00:43:51.139 --> 00:43:54.059
that<00:43:51.280><c> yes,</c><00:43:51.539><c> he</c><00:43:51.699><c> struggled</c><00:43:52.199><c> with</c><00:43:52.519><c> the</c><00:43:52.760><c> angel</c><00:43:52.980><c> and</c><00:43:53.320><c> prevailed,</c>

00:43:54.440 --> 00:43:56.159
but<00:43:54.820><c> how</c><00:43:55.300><c> did</c><00:43:55.500><c> he</c><00:43:55.780><c> prevail?</c>

00:43:56.500 --> 00:43:59.599
He<00:43:57.019><c> wept</c><00:43:57.860><c> and</c><00:43:58.300><c> sought</c><00:43:58.500><c> favor</c><00:43:59.000><c> from</c><00:43:59.280><c> him.</c>

00:43:59.920 --> 00:44:02.760
He<00:44:00.179><c> found</c><00:44:00.500><c> him</c><00:44:00.679><c> in</c><00:44:00.880><c> Bethel</c><00:44:01.239><c> and</c><00:44:01.400><c> there</c><00:44:01.659><c> he</c><00:44:01.880><c> spoke</c><00:44:02.119><c> to</c><00:44:02.380><c> us.</c>

00:44:03.019 --> 00:44:04.139
And<00:44:03.239><c> this</c><00:44:03.440><c> is</c><00:44:03.599><c> what</c><00:44:03.760><c> God</c><00:44:04.000><c> did.</c>

00:44:04.139 --> 00:44:05.800
He<00:44:04.420><c> broke</c><00:44:04.719><c> Jacob</c><00:44:05.119><c> at</c><00:44:05.340><c> this</c><00:44:05.639><c> point.</c>

00:44:05.980 --> 00:44:08.079
He<00:44:06.239><c> couldn't</c><00:44:06.679><c> scheme</c><00:44:06.920><c> his</c><00:44:07.159><c> way</c><00:44:07.300><c> through</c><00:44:07.500><c> this</c><00:44:07.739><c> anymore.</c>

00:44:08.079 --> 00:44:09.900
Jacob's<00:44:08.920><c> holding</c><00:44:09.119><c> onto</c><00:44:09.400><c> the</c><00:44:09.619><c> angel,</c>

00:44:10.320 --> 00:44:12.119

00:44:15.320 --> 00:44:16.719
I<00:44:15.519><c> can't</c><00:44:15.719><c> change</c><00:44:16.039><c> these</c><00:44:16.300><c> kids.</c>

00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:18.719
I<00:44:17.059><c> can't</c><00:44:17.340><c> save</c><00:44:17.559><c> these</c><00:44:17.820><c> wives.</c>

00:44:18.860 --> 00:44:20.480
His<00:44:18.980><c> whole</c><00:44:19.300><c> family</c><00:44:19.659><c> had</c><00:44:19.920><c> fallen</c><00:44:20.099><c> apart.</c>

00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:23.400

And,<00:44:27.940><c> you</c><00:44:28.280><c> know,</c><00:44:28.280><c> God</c><00:44:28.559><c> says,</c><00:44:28.980><c> yeah,</c><00:44:29.139><c> you</c><00:44:29.400><c> prevail,</c>

00:44:44.260 --> 00:44:46.599

to<00:44:54.539><c> him</c><00:44:54.739><c> who</c><00:44:54.880><c> was</c><00:44:55.019><c> able</c><00:44:55.219><c> to</c><00:44:55.579><c> save</c><00:44:55.800><c> him</c><00:44:56.099><c> from</c><00:44:56.400><c> death</c>

00:44:56.760 --> 00:44:59.159
and<00:44:57.300><c> he</c><00:44:57.400><c> was</c><00:44:57.679><c> heard</c><00:44:58.000><c> for</c><00:44:58.280><c> his</c><00:44:58.519><c> godly</c><00:44:58.840><c> fear.</c>

00:44:59.519 --> 00:45:02.119
That's<00:44:59.940><c> the</c><00:45:00.139><c> experience</c><00:45:00.619><c> that</c><00:45:00.900><c> all</c><00:45:01.139><c> of</c><00:45:01.260><c> us</c><00:45:01.440><c> need</c><00:45:01.619><c> to</c><00:45:01.780><c> go</c><00:45:01.920><c> through</c>

00:45:02.119 --> 00:45:03.159
rather<00:45:02.340><c> than</c><00:45:02.500><c> sisters</c><00:45:02.800><c> in</c><00:45:03.039><c> life.</c>

00:45:03.659 --> 00:45:06.960
This<00:45:03.739><c> is</c><00:45:04.599><c> how</c><00:45:04.599><c> God</c><00:45:05.000><c> really</c><00:45:05.380><c> breaks</c><00:45:05.719><c> us</c><00:45:05.980><c> in</c><00:45:06.639><c> the</c><00:45:06.860><c> end.</c>

00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:09.380
We<00:45:07.260><c> can</c><00:45:07.280><c> give</c><00:45:07.539><c> God</c><00:45:07.820><c> the</c><00:45:08.019><c> credit</c><00:45:08.239><c> for</c><00:45:08.420><c> doing</c><00:45:08.699><c> for</c><00:45:08.860><c> us</c>

00:45:09.380 --> 00:45:11.920
what<00:45:09.579><c> we</c><00:45:09.780><c> never</c><00:45:10.059><c> could</c><00:45:10.239><c> have</c><00:45:10.360><c> done</c><00:45:10.579><c> for</c><00:45:10.820><c> ourselves.</c>

00:45:12.960 --> 00:45:14.820
Well,<00:45:13.179><c> I</c><00:45:13.360><c> think</c><00:45:13.519><c> we're</c><00:45:13.699><c> going</c><00:45:13.860><c> to</c><00:45:14.000><c> leave</c><00:45:14.159><c> it</c><00:45:14.360><c> at</c><00:45:14.480><c> that</c><00:45:14.639><c> for</c>

00:45:14.820 --> 00:45:15.179
right<00:45:15.000><c> now.</c>

00:45:15.340 --> 00:45:18.340
We<00:45:15.400><c> may</c><00:45:15.699><c> look</c><00:45:15.980><c> tomorrow</c><00:45:16.360><c> at</c><00:45:16.599><c> God's</c><00:45:17.019><c> election</c><00:45:17.440><c> and</c><00:45:17.659><c> we'll</c><00:45:17.920><c> see.</c>

00:45:18.739 --> 00:45:21.500
But<00:45:18.820><c> for</c><00:45:19.059><c> right</c><00:45:19.239><c> now,</c><00:45:19.800><c> we</c><00:45:19.940><c> will</c><00:45:20.139><c> look</c><00:45:20.400><c> at</c><00:45:20.820><c> some</c><00:45:21.019><c> of</c><00:45:21.159><c> the</c><00:45:21.260><c> lessons</c>

00:45:21.500 --> 00:45:25.079
at<00:45:21.719><c> least</c><00:45:21.840><c> that</c><00:45:21.960><c> we</c><00:45:22.059><c> can</c><00:45:22.219><c> pick</c><00:45:22.420><c> up</c><00:45:22.659><c> for</c><00:45:22.920><c> today</c><00:45:23.380><c> and</c><00:45:24.079><c> jump</c><00:45:24.280><c> ahead.</c>

00:45:25.139 --> 00:45:26.739
So<00:45:25.539><c> in</c><00:45:25.780><c> terms</c><00:45:26.000><c> of</c><00:45:26.219><c> Jacob's</c><00:45:26.599><c> life,</c>

00:45:26.800 --> 00:45:28.840
I<00:45:26.860><c> think</c><00:45:26.960><c> what</c><00:45:27.079><c> we</c><00:45:27.260><c> want</c><00:45:27.360><c> to</c><00:45:27.500><c> remember</c><00:45:27.760><c> is</c><00:45:28.079><c> give</c><00:45:28.260><c> up</c><00:45:28.480><c> scheming.</c>

00:45:28.960 --> 00:45:30.840
We<00:45:29.079><c> don't</c><00:45:29.239><c> want</c><00:45:29.340><c> to</c><00:45:29.440><c> be</c><00:45:29.559><c> a</c><00:45:29.760><c> schemer</c><00:45:30.019><c> in</c><00:45:30.139><c> a</c><00:45:30.320><c> collegial</c><00:45:30.599><c> life</c>

00:45:30.840 --> 00:45:31.699
and<00:45:31.079><c> family</c><00:45:31.380><c> life.</c>

00:45:32.039 --> 00:45:34.159
Don't<00:45:32.400><c> get</c><00:45:33.119><c> through</c><00:45:33.380><c> life</c><00:45:33.579><c> by</c><00:45:33.880><c> scheming.</c>

00:45:34.159 --> 00:45:35.539
It's<00:45:34.380><c> a</c><00:45:34.519><c> short</c><00:45:34.760><c>-term</c><00:45:35.000><c> solution,</c>

00:45:35.780 --> 00:45:38.139
but<00:45:35.980><c> it</c><00:45:36.199><c> really</c><00:45:36.460><c> doesn't</c><00:45:36.760><c> solve</c><00:45:37.059><c> problems.</c>

00:45:38.420 --> 00:45:39.840
I<00:45:38.480><c> think</c><00:45:38.639><c> as</c><00:45:38.900><c> fathers</c><00:45:39.260><c> and</c><00:45:39.539><c> mothers,</c>

00:45:39.960 --> 00:45:41.280
we<00:45:40.059><c> have</c><00:45:40.219><c> to</c><00:45:40.420><c> give</c><00:45:40.599><c> good</c><00:45:40.880><c> counsel,</c>

00:45:41.380 --> 00:45:43.099
good<00:45:41.559><c> spiritual</c><00:45:41.960><c> counsel</c><00:45:42.340><c> to</c><00:45:42.539><c> our</c><00:45:42.760><c> children</c>

00:45:43.099 --> 00:45:45.119
and<00:45:43.320><c> help</c><00:45:43.440><c> them</c><00:45:43.659><c> understand</c><00:45:44.119><c> it's</c><00:45:44.460><c> coming</c><00:45:44.579><c> from</c><00:45:44.800><c> God.</c>

00:45:45.260 --> 00:45:47.179
It's<00:45:45.400><c> not</c><00:45:45.539><c> really</c><00:45:45.860><c> coming</c><00:45:46.059><c> from</c><00:45:46.280><c> us.</c>

00:45:47.199 --> 00:45:49.380
I<00:45:47.300><c> think</c><00:45:47.420><c> for</c><00:45:47.659><c> all</c><00:45:47.820><c> of</c><00:45:47.940><c> us</c><00:45:48.099><c> that</c><00:45:48.340><c> faith</c><00:45:48.619><c> really</c><00:45:48.980><c> demands</c>

00:45:49.380 --> 00:45:51.199
that<00:45:49.619><c> we</c><00:45:49.760><c> believe,</c><00:45:50.320><c> really</c><00:45:50.739><c> believe,</c>

00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:54.059
that<00:45:51.659><c> God</c><00:45:51.920><c> is</c><00:45:52.300><c> actively</c><00:45:52.719><c> working</c><00:45:53.219><c> behind</c><00:45:53.619><c> the</c><00:45:53.840><c> scenes.</c>

00:45:54.320 --> 00:45:55.699
Angels<00:45:54.539><c> are</c><00:45:54.860><c> involved</c><00:45:55.199><c> in</c><00:45:55.340><c> your</c><00:45:55.559><c> life</c>

00:45:55.699 --> 00:45:58.619
for<00:45:56.380><c> the</c><00:45:56.679><c> good</c><00:45:56.840><c> things</c><00:45:57.059><c> that</c><00:45:57.340><c> happen</c><00:45:57.659><c> and</c><00:45:57.880><c> for</c><00:45:58.099><c> the</c><00:45:58.320><c> bad.</c>

00:45:59.019 --> 00:46:01.099
Solomon<00:45:59.199><c> actually</c><00:45:59.579><c> points</c><00:45:59.880><c> that</c><00:46:00.099><c> out</c><00:46:00.260><c> in</c><00:46:00.420><c> Ecclesiastes</c>

00:46:01.099 --> 00:46:01.940
in<00:46:01.260><c> dealing</c><00:46:01.480><c> with</c><00:46:01.679><c> the</c><00:46:01.820><c> kids.</c>

00:46:01.940 --> 00:46:04.460
Just<00:46:02.300><c> remember</c><00:46:02.880><c> that</c><00:46:03.380><c> when</c><00:46:03.579><c> the</c><00:46:03.699><c> good</c><00:46:03.820><c> things</c><00:46:04.039><c> happen</c><00:46:04.340><c> in</c>

00:46:04.460 --> 00:46:04.860
your<00:46:04.659><c> life,</c>

00:46:04.940 --> 00:46:05.780
yes,<00:46:05.079><c> God</c><00:46:05.260><c> is</c><00:46:05.480><c> involved,</c>

00:46:05.860 --> 00:46:07.920
but<00:46:06.059><c> don't</c><00:46:06.360><c> forget</c><00:46:06.739><c> he's</c><00:46:07.119><c> also</c><00:46:07.480><c> involved</c>

00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:09.179
in<00:46:08.099><c> the</c><00:46:08.280><c> bad</c><00:46:08.460><c> things</c><00:46:08.719><c> that</c><00:46:08.980><c> happen.</c>

00:46:09.219 --> 00:46:11.340
And<00:46:09.400><c> that's</c><00:46:09.699><c> so</c><00:46:10.039><c> easy</c><00:46:10.320><c> to</c><00:46:10.579><c> forget.</c>

00:46:11.400 --> 00:46:13.679
So<00:46:11.679><c> we</c><00:46:11.840><c> make</c><00:46:12.039><c> our</c><00:46:12.280><c> choices</c><00:46:12.639><c> with</c><00:46:12.880><c> prayer</c><00:46:13.219><c> and</c><00:46:13.480><c> faith,</c>

00:46:13.679 --> 00:46:15.420
asking<00:46:14.179><c> God</c><00:46:14.579><c> to</c><00:46:14.860><c> make</c><00:46:15.000><c> them</c><00:46:15.260><c> work.</c>

00:46:15.480 --> 00:46:17.760
We<00:46:15.820><c> have</c><00:46:16.199><c> to</c><00:46:16.480><c> make</c><00:46:16.739><c> decisions</c><00:46:17.300><c> in</c><00:46:17.559><c> life.</c>

00:46:18.019 --> 00:46:19.400
We<00:46:18.159><c> have</c><00:46:18.340><c> to</c><00:46:18.480><c> move</c><00:46:18.679><c> forward</c><00:46:19.039><c> in</c><00:46:19.280><c> life.</c>

00:46:19.420 --> 00:46:20.940
We<00:46:19.539><c> can't</c><00:46:19.719><c> be</c><00:46:19.880><c> stifled</c><00:46:20.239><c> by</c><00:46:20.440><c> the</c><00:46:20.619><c> past,</c>

00:46:21.219 --> 00:46:24.059
but<00:46:21.460><c> what</c><00:46:21.639><c> we</c><00:46:21.800><c> do</c><00:46:22.019><c> is</c><00:46:22.320><c> pray</c><00:46:22.659><c> God</c><00:46:22.900><c> will</c><00:46:23.139><c> bless</c><00:46:23.360><c> those</c><00:46:23.619><c> choices</c>

00:46:24.059 --> 00:46:26.800
and<00:46:24.360><c> realize</c><00:46:25.000><c> that</c><00:46:25.500><c> our</c><00:46:25.780><c> God</c><00:46:25.960><c> is</c><00:46:26.260><c> flexible</c>

00:46:26.800 --> 00:46:29.639

00:46:31.940 --> 00:46:33.639
And<00:46:32.440><c> face</c><00:46:32.579><c> the</c><00:46:32.800><c> issues</c><00:46:32.980><c> of</c><00:46:33.159><c> the</c><00:46:33.320><c> past.</c>

00:46:38.960 --> 00:46:40.820
we<00:46:39.500><c> messed</c><00:46:39.900><c> up</c><00:46:40.139><c> in</c><00:46:40.320><c> those</c><00:46:40.519><c> cases.</c>

00:46:42.460 --> 00:46:44.440
And<00:46:42.760><c> I</c><00:46:42.960><c> hope</c><00:46:43.099><c> we</c><00:46:43.239><c> can</c><00:46:43.380><c> move</c><00:46:43.639><c> forward</c><00:46:43.940><c> from</c><00:46:44.159><c> here.</c>

00:46:44.760 --> 00:46:48.860
That<00:46:45.099><c> takes</c><00:46:46.380><c> faith,</c><00:46:47.079><c> that</c><00:46:47.360><c> takes</c><00:46:47.880><c> a</c><00:46:48.360><c> real</c><00:46:48.480><c> belief</c>

00:46:48.860 --> 00:46:50.780
that<00:46:49.139><c> we</c><00:46:49.639><c> admit</c><00:46:49.940><c> those</c><00:46:50.219><c> kinds</c><00:46:50.400><c> of</c><00:46:50.539><c> things</c>

00:46:50.780 --> 00:46:52.699
and<00:46:51.239><c> that</c><00:46:51.440><c> God</c><00:46:51.639><c> will</c><00:46:51.820><c> help</c><00:46:51.980><c> us</c><00:46:52.179><c> move</c><00:46:52.360><c> forward.</c>

00:46:52.940 --> 00:46:54.059
And<00:46:53.159><c> when</c><00:46:53.280><c> we</c><00:46:53.440><c> have</c><00:46:53.659><c> progress,</c>

00:46:54.119 --> 00:46:55.960
let's<00:46:54.460><c> make</c><00:46:54.679><c> sure</c><00:46:54.880><c> that</c><00:46:55.059><c> we</c><00:46:55.179><c> give</c><00:46:55.320><c> God</c><00:46:55.559><c> the</c><00:46:55.760><c> credit.</c>

00:46:56.300 --> 00:46:57.880
Let's<00:46:56.579><c> not</c><00:46:56.820><c> think</c><00:46:56.960><c> that</c><00:46:57.119><c> it's</c><00:46:57.360><c> some</c><00:46:57.500><c> great</c><00:46:57.719><c> thing</c>

00:46:57.880 --> 00:46:58.679
that<00:46:58.019><c> we</c><00:46:58.280><c> accomplished,</c>

00:46:58.719 --> 00:47:00.980
but<00:46:58.960><c> God</c><00:46:59.199><c> is</c><00:46:59.420><c> the</c><00:46:59.579><c> one</c><00:46:59.719><c> who</c><00:46:59.960><c> blesses</c><00:47:00.460><c> our</c><00:47:00.679><c> efforts.</c>
