Deception - Dr.Lilian Stanley

Deception

Genesis 27:12-23
Isaac was deceived even though he had ample warning _ 1.  The meat came too early 2.  Touch 3.  Voice 4. Smell (kiss).

     The man who could easily smell his son's clothes, could not identify the feel and smell of his son's face.  It was not the smell of his son ( v 27), but the smell of his son's clothes.  "Isaac trembled violently.". Now the deception dawned on him _ the timing, the touch, the voice, the kiss!  He realized how he hesitated but was taken for a ride.  He wished he waited a " little" longer to make sure.  But his hunger and taste for food made him hurry.  How often we fall for deception because " we want it "!  

     Wait.  Don't be in a hurry.  Make sure.  He could have felt his fingers, face, legs.  He could have told Jacob about his voice.  We may have to tremble violently.  

" Indeed he will be blessed."
He had made an irreversible mistake.  What's done is done.  
     Be wise, be discerning!

Flogging - Dr Lilian Stanley

Flogging - Dr Lilian Stanley 26Jan23 Do you know what it means to be flogged?  The Jews limited their flogging to 39. But the Romans had no limit. The Romans were more cruel than the Jews.  The Romans used a leather whip that had thongs laced with sharp pieces of iron or bone.  According to ancient writers, sometimes during flogging, the victim's bowels would come out or bones exposed. Why was there a need to flog a man who was to be crucified?  Just to torture him.  God judged Jesus Christ for the sins of the world that came upon Him.  But for that we would be flogged for our sins.  Let us fall prostrate at His feet for taking our flogging on Him.

Through The Kidron Valley - Dr Lilian Stanley

  Through The Kidron Valley      The Kidron valley was the dump - yard for Jerusalem in its outskirts where ashes, dead bodies and broken idols were thrown (1 Ki 2:37; 1 Ki 15:13; 2 Ki 23:4,6,12; 2 Chronicles 29:16; 30:14; Jer 31:40).  David and Jesus walked through the valley with a heavy heart (2 Sam 15:23; Jn 18:1).  Both had enemies (Absalom, Judas).  Both were gheraoed by a gang (Absalom's people and Jews).  Both went through the valley singing (Psa 3, Mk 14:26).  Both had supporters (Faithful subjects and Disciples).  Both came back to Jerusalem victorious as kings, David after the war and Jesus after His resurrection.  Both forgave their enemies.         Let us go through our Kidron singing.  God has provided a brook for us there (2 Sam 15:23). Let us follow their example.  God will turn our mourning into dancing.
