If ever there was reason to believe the promise of Romans 8:28, this is it! With the lies and deception of Rebekah, Jacob, and Laban, one would surely expect nothing good to come. Yet, God works all things for good for those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose, and creates the great nation of Israel out of this mess. Wow! Is it any wonder that He takes my poor, miserable life and brings about untold blessings through my wife and children? Just as these liars and deceivers didn't get what they deserved, neither do I. Our God goes beyond grace, forgiving our transgressions and paying the penalty for our guilt. That would be more than enough; it would fulfill all the requirements grace could ever afford. But, God, in His infinite mercy, sees fit to go above and beyond in showering us with blessings beyond our wildest dreams! Heavenly Father, you are truly beyond our limited scope of understanding. Thank you for the abundance of your blessings!
