Genesis 26: Family matters


Well today is Easter Sunday, and the sun is shining! I was tempted to go and look at the chapters to do with Jesus' death and ressurection, but I ended up sticking with Genesis to see what God had for me there.

Genesis 26 continues with yesterday's theme of generational sin. In this chapter we see Isaac commiting the same sin his father did: afraid he would be killed so the locals could take his wife, he told them "she is my sister" (v 6). For me it's no coincidence that Isaac did the exact same thing his father did, and it reminds me again of how we need to be a good influence on our family.
