Day Sixteen..."Conflict in the Family" --

Jacob left his father in law, Laban, to establish a new life. After all...Laban was very unpredictable. On his way to a new future, he would have to face his past...Essau.
We can relate to family members in conflict. The Book of Genesis can speak to real families and even perplexing life situations. David says in Psalm 16... "You have made
known to me the path of life." The Sermon on the Mount concludes with perhaps the overall message of building your life on the Word of God. I think the message of the wise and foolish builders is extremely relevant to those of us reading through the Bible. We do want to build our lives on the good foundation. The day after Alice Beck's unexpected death we understand the importance of a good foundation built around Jesus' teachings, truth, and most of all love. God's Word is a foundation for life.
