Genesis 25: Moving Toward Passing the Mantle

God works sovereignly in all things for our good, according to His purposes. God prepares us, He prepares our place, and He prepares people to be receptive of us; but He does it all for His glory and the fulfillment of His purposes so that His will can be accomplished. He pulls one down and sets up another as He moves in time to complete the work He has started, all the while we are navigating our lives. Therefore, it is important that we lean not to our own understanding but rather, trust in Him with our whole heart and acknowledge Him in all our ways and then allow Him to direct us along the path He has ordained.
