Hey Bible readers, I'm Miss Emily and this is the Bible Recap. For this! We've spent 28 days together in the Bible, so let's do our fourth 7-Day Rambla! First up, Let's Zoom Out! In the last seven days, we've followed Jacob Israel's family through Feast and Famine. We've seen God keep His promises to this family, even when they sinned against Him and each other. And we've seen God bless His family over and over again. God has been at work since the beginning, and His work not only kept this family alive and protected, but it provided more than they needed. God had a special plan in mind for this family, a child who would be born many generations in the future. And this child wouldn't be a blessing just for His own family, but for every family on Earth. Who is that child? Well, you'll see. Now, let's review our... Worst of Ever! A descendant is someone after you in your family line, like a child of a child of a child.

Application! Did you notice the way as God provided abundantly for Jacob's family? He was generous not only by giving them what they needed, but by giving them much, much more. God gives abundantly to us today too. Can you think of some of the ways He's blessed you? Your home, your favorite food, your family, your friends? Every time you laugh or run or learn something new, so many blessings, so much abundance. As you notice abundance in your life, pause to thank God for being who He is and for giving you more than enough. He's worth it!
