Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble and I'm your host for the Bible recap.

I want to start today out with a bit of encouragement.

I love seeing that you're all looking to scripture for truth.

In Acts 1711, Luke praised the Bereans who did this.

He said,

Now the Bereans used were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, where they received

the message with great eagerness and examined the scriptures every day to see if what Paul

said was true.

Please do that with everything I say here, because first of all, there may be times when

I'm just playing wrong about something.

I go to great lengths to avoid that, but it's bound to happen at some point.

And then at other times, I may not communicate something in the clearest way possible and

it may end up being confusing.

So please forgive me for any missteps I make in communication and know that I make every

effort to speak truth with clarity and keep searching the scriptures because I'm not the

final word on anything.

Today in our reading, we opened with Abraham remarrying after Sarah's death.

His second life is named Ketura, and even though he was super old, he had six more kids,

which brings us to a grand total of eight.

But all his inheritance goes to Isaac, as God told him, because Isaac is the child through

which God would establish his promise to Abraham.

He was also the only child of Abraham's first wife.
