You are listening to the Dope Daily Audio Bible, and I'm your guy, pastor Charlie Mitchell, and today we're looking at Genesis 33. Let's roll. Jacob looked up and saw Esau coming toward him with 400 men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two slave women. He put the slaves and their children first, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph last. He himself went on ahead and bowed to the ground seven times until he approached his brother. But Esau ran to meet him, hugged him, threw his arms around him and kissed him. Then they wept. when Esau looked up and saw the women and children, he asked, who are these with you? He answered, the children. God has graciously giving your servant. Then the slaves and their children approached him and bowed down. Leah and her children also approached and bow down, and then Joseph and Rachel approached and bow down. So Esau said, what do you mean by this whole procession? I met to find favor with you, my Lord? He answered, I have enough. My brother, Esau replied, keep what you have. But Jacob said, no, please, If I have found favor with you, take this gift from me. For indeed, I have seen your face and it is like seeing God's face. Since you have accepted me, please take my present. That was brought to you because God has been gracious to me and I have everything I need. So Jacob urged him until he accepted. Then Esau said, let's move on and I'll go ahead of you. Jacob replied, my Lord knows that the children are weak and I have nursing flocks and herds. If they are driven hard for one day, the whole hurdle will die. Let my Lord go ahead of his servant. I will continue on slowly at a pace suited to the livestock and the children Until I come to my Lord. As sayer Esau said, let me leave some of my people with you. But he replied, why do that? Please indulge me, my Lord. That day. Esau started on his way back to Sayer, but Jacob went to eth. He built a house for himself in shelters for his livestock. That is why the place is called eth. after Jacob came from Pat, maam, he arrived safely at Ham in the land of Canaan and camped in front of the city. He purchased a section of the field where he had pitched his tent from the Sons of Hammer, Shechem's father, for a hundred pieces of silver, and he set up an altar there and called it God, the God of Israel. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, you are the God of restoration. You go ahead of us into every meeting, into every situation, even into our deepest, darkest fears. Lord, I pray that we would be grateful for the possibility of hearts being softened for enemies, turning back into brothers and for healing being a part of your redemption story. Lord, there is no relationship that is too far gone that you cannot repair. So, Lord, I pray that you would help us to walk humbly like Jacob did and to extend grace like Esau, when we've been wronged where there's been distance. I pray that you will bring brothers back together in peace. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
