Can you believe it? Husker football starts on Saturday! For the sake of example only, allow me to paint an awful scenario. What if the Huskers lose their opener to South Alabama? Then they follow that with a heart breaker in Colorado? Then, they come back flat and Northern Illinois shocks them? And then in their despair lose the Big Ten opener to Illinois, a bottom feeder? They follow that loss by getting crushed by Ohio State. How many losses could you take before you give up on the team? In Sunday’s passage in Genesis 35-36, Jacob suffered a string of losses. But he didn’t lose games, He lost people: The nurse who raised him (Genesis 35:8) His beloved wife. (Genesis 35:16-21) His father. (Genesis 35:27-29) On top of these losses, Jacob's oldest son, Reuben, had relations with one of his concubines. (Genesis 35:22). Finally, Jacob’s brother, Esau, moved away. (Genesi 36:6-8) So in effect, Jacob lost these people. Jacob was hemorrhaging relationships What kept him from giving up on life? God did.

After the shootings in Dayton and El Paso and reports of human trafficking by Jeffery Epstein, we can wonder, "How long has this kind of disregard for human life been going on?" Sadly, this tragic behavior dates back to the beginning of time when humanity decided to reject God. Rejecting God gives us license to do whatever we want. This past Sunday, in Genesis 34, we read the account of a sexual assault. Sadly, the victim's father responded with passivity, while the victim’s brothers responded with revenge. Neither were good responses. In looking for a right response, we look to Jesus. At His crucifixion, He was neither passive nor vengeful. Yet, when we read Isaiah's prophecy made hundreds of years before Jesus’ birth the prophet promised that Jesus would bring justice on the earth. I invite you to read those words in Isaiah 42:1-4. Notice that Jesus doesn't resort to yelling or violence, but He is resolute in His promise to bring justice on the earth. As we seek to be His h

Imagine being above the tree line on a mountain, when a thunderstorm rolls in. You don't have time to get down the mountain. What would you do? Since you don't have shelter, you'd get down, put your hands over your head and hope and pray that you don't get hit by lightning or flying debris. Many times, that's how we feel in the storms of life. We're exposed and endangered. And we're hoping and praying we survive. Do we have any shelter in the storms of life? Sunday, in Genesis 32 and 33, we looked at Jacob who was heading home to a brother who wanted to kill him. Twenty years earlier, Jacob had swindled this brother out of a treasured experience. But God proved to be the shelter that Jacob was missing. What storms loom in your life? More importantly, where will you find shelter? Would you read Genesis 32-33 with this simple prayer: God, I am asking that You be my shelter in this storm

Waiting on God is never easy, especially when like Jacob, we can't see the end in sight. What do you do when you have to wait for a situation to be resolved? Do you try to fix it or wait and rely on His promises from the Bible?
