Some of my favorite stories in the OT.....the book of Esther, Jacob and Esau, Joseph being betrayed by his brothers, Moses, and in every story, there is a message that is pertinant today.
*God’s eyes are on the righteous, and he delivers them out of all of their troubles.
*He lifts us up and brings us justice, when we are treated unfairly.
*We need to be careful not to deceive others, or we will be deceived.
Old Testament scriptures are excellent reading, and full of wisdom.
I so agree with you. The Old Testament is rich with relevant messages for today. I was stunned to find so much wisdom in it after asking God into my life. It took a bit to understand some of it but as a friend of mine told me, “Context, context, context.”
Good article. A keeper.
