Jan 10 - Abrahams getting old

Todays reading starts with Sarah's death at 127 years old. Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah in Canaan from Ephron to bury his wife in. This field and cave were transferred from the ittites to Abraham for use as a permanent burial place. Abraham being very old wanted his son to be married but not to any local Canaanite women. He wanted Isaac married to a lady from his homeland, his relatives. It's cool to read on and see how God is involved through all aspects of Abraham's life even involved in finding a wife for Isaac. Abraham's oldest servant goes back to his homeland and with God's help found Rebekah and she was taken back to Isaac to be his wife.

In the new testament this week Jesus does many miracles of healing sick and demon possessed and the days reading ends with a proverb that we should all strive to achieve.......Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do and he will show you which path to take.
