And she went to enquire of the LORD. 23) And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of peopleshall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other
2 people; and the elder shall serve the younger. 24) And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold,therewere twins in her womb. I. The Waiting- Gen 25:21 21) And Isaac intreated the LORD and the LORD was intreated of him Isaac 40 at marriage (v20), and 60 at the birth of his children (v26). This 20-year intercession was learned by the
3 example of Abrahams struggle. Child promised at 75 (12:2) Isaac given at 100 (21:5). 2Sam 8:14 And he put garrisons in Edom; throughoutall Edomput he garrisons, and all they of Edom became David's servants. And the LORD preserved David whithersoever he went. Isa 25:9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be
4 glad and rejoice in his salvation. Rom 5:2-3 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulationsalso: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; Isa 30:18 And therefore will the LORD wait, that he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the LORD
5 is a God of judgment: blessed are all they that wait for him. II. The Wondering- Gen 25:22 22) If it be so, why am I thus? 2Cor 12:10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong. 2Cor 13:4
6 For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you. Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have. Rom 9:20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
7 III. The Warring- Gen 25:23 22) two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. Gal 5:16-17 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against
8 the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 1Cor 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. Gal 6:9-10
9 9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith. Prov 10:22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. Conclusion: Reckoning The lost world has a day of reckoning; for a
10 Christian every day is a day to reckon. Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be comparedwith the glory which shall be revealed in us. 2Cor 4:17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; Heb 11:25-26
11 25 Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the peopleof God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; 26 Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward.
