I read through the Pentateuch in the Fall and was surprised at how much I didn't have right. I probably need to do it again. I took your lead and wrote out Psalm 24 today in my prayer time. It's good to do. Thanks for the, uh, motivation? Yeah, it’s pretty wild how we can remember the story wrong like that.

Or does he see his dad as obedient, and God as faithful? I can't imagine NOT getting untied and running as far as I can from my father...but perhaps isaac had much more faith than I i wonder if isaac was freaking out or not. he was tied up - was he writhing? was he silent? was he screaming? what did those two servants think of all this?

And how Abraham could be this situation: "no matter what you do, God is on your side"...then I realized, that's exactly the situation I'm in with God. and how amazing is Abimelech? Seems like a really good guy. peace-loving, level-headed. I like him. On Chapter 21 - I often wonder why God spares the repeated sin of some and not others.

I'm also struck with the fact that so many people are willing to negotiate with God/angels...and it works! Abraham negotiated, asked, pushed. Same here. Lot was given instruction to go to the mountains and he said "well i'd rather go over there" and the angels agreed. What are the implications for us? Can/should we push back on what God asks? What would life for Lot be like if he had done what the angels originally suggested? I'm really surprised how God and the angels relent upon request. agreed. bizarre.
