The passages today are from Genesis 46 & 47.
They recount the settling of the clan of Jacob, the Israelites, in Egypt. Notice the words in 46:
"All those who went to Egypt with Jacob—those who were his direct descendants, not counting his sons' wives—numbered sixty-six persons.
With the two sons who had been born to Joseph in Egypt, the members of Jacob's family, which went to Egypt, were seventy in all."
To Abraham God had promised generations of thousands upon thousands to follow. It seemed impossible to any reasonable person...but here we are two generations later. To Abraham God had promised "a land, seed, and blessing..." at this Pontiac everything has begun to appear, but there is so much more to come.
We should realize the same...God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in Christ, Paul says in Eph. 1... It's only begun.
