Day 12 (Genesis 23, 24; Psalm 12) "God is an orderly God and Genesis is an Orderly Book"
God is an orderly God. Genesis is an orderly book. How so? I noticed a detail in the story of Isaac and Rebeka that I missed in my previous reading of the Bible. There is great detail about Sarah's death and burial in chapter 23. What follows in chapter 24? The story of Isaac and Rebecca's marriage. Where there is a void for a nation? God fills. Notice how chapter 24 ends..."Then the servant told Isaac all he had done. Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah, and he married Rebekah. So she became his wife, and he loved her; and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. An orderly succession and an acknowledgment of grief and life for the Hebrews moves forward!
