*God Is Not Through With You Yet* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty"* (1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
I love the Bible.
It's a very real, practical and down-to-earth book. Very relatable. It doesn't gloss over the characters foibles. Shows you the characters struggle just like we do.
Sarah's jealousy was never hidden. She was a very strong character who was over-bearing and a nag. If you're woke, you'll describe her as wicked for instigating the expulsion of a mother with a child. Yet, she was called mother of many nations.
Abraham slept with his househelp. Got her pregnant. That was scandalous. His wife asked him to? Was he eyeing the househelp before?He told lies in the face of imminent danger. Not exactly courageous if you ask me. A simp but he was called a friend of God.
Esther has been touted as a role model. But was she? She entered a beauty contest where one of the conditions was to sleep with the king. Yes, she slept with the boss to climb the ladder and improve her career prospects. Yet, she has a book named after her.
Judah was a slave trader who patronized prostitutes and slept with his daughter-in-law. The products of the one-night stand were twins. A broke ass who slept with prostitutes on credit. But Jesus came through his tribe and is called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
The story of Jacob is well known. A serial cheat, liar and fugitive. He played a fast one on his blind father. He was the Hushpuppi of his generation. His inspiration was his mum who played one child against the other. Yet, he became so great God was named after him- God of Jacob.
David. Had an eye for women. Michal. Ahinoam Abigail. Maacah.Haggith. Abital. Eglah. Bathsheba. At least 8 wives. Murdered the husband of one of them and almost murdered the husband of another. To be sure David was dying, they had to put a young lady beside him to keep him warm. It was when he didn't have an erection that they knew he was truly gone. David was also a poor father. His children were indisciplined. One almost killed him and another raped the sister. His was a house of commotion. Nevertheless, his lineage was established forever with him being an ancestor of Jesus.
