A biblical perspective on marriage...

Saturday morning, excellent devo time in Genesis...a few thoughts hit me as I read,
1. Jacob was the first male prostitute in history (his wife 'hired' him for a night from his other wife with a bunch of mandrakes)
2. Abraham, Jacob, and Isaac all married barren women...hmmmm....
3. Deceit and lies carry heavy consequences with them...
4. Jacob was a good guy. He gave his first wife a week before marrying her sister.

And you thought the Bible was full of perfect people? HA!!
But, for some reason, God chose to redeem a family line of liars, cheaters and thieves to bring salvation to the world. All things are possible with God, and there are no lost causes in His sight. Praise the Lord!
