Today's reading is full of genealogies. While we may think genealogies are insignificant as reading material, they are very significant in documenting genealogy.

As an act of defiance toward Isaac, Esau married Canaanite women including Ishmael’s daughters. These are the women that Abraham didn't want Isaac to marry.The land of Canaan was given to Jacob as part of the blessing, passed from Abraham through Isaac. Esau was excluded from this blessing. By moving to the hill country of Seir, Esau was paving the way for Jacob to claim his promised blessing.

When God makes a promise, He makes a way for that promise to be fulfilled.

Can we all ponder some examples from our lives? Have there been times we have wondered in amazement at the way God honors His promises? Are all of us as faithful as God is?

2Ti 2:13
If we are unfaithful, he remains faithful because he cannot be untrue to himself.
