In this episode of Behold Women: At the Table, Allie spends time teaching on the story of Jacob from Genesis. 

Some important takeaways and quotes: 

• God's choice of Jacob over Esau reflects that His favor is graciously given and not earned by works or deserved by position. 
• God wanted Jacob to receive the greater blessing and he received it. In all of the deception, God's will was advanced. We see here in plain sight that no human act can thwart God's will. God did not abandon His gracious promise but used even the misguided acts of Isaac, Rebekah, Esau, and Jacob to further His plan for the salvation of the world. 
• Jacob came to know the God whose blessing he had so coveted because of his continued struggle with his brother. Now, in a dream, he learned of God's grace and began to appreciate God's choice of him without the necessity of having his rivalry with his brother motivating his desire for blessing. 
• What motivates your desire for a blessing? What motivates your desire to walk in the promises of God? 
• God is steadfast in His promises and unwavering in His commitment to His people.

In this episode of Behold Women: At the Table, Allie spends time teaching on the story of Isaac from Genesis. 

  Some important takeaways and quotes:

• The long wait for Isaac and Rebekah is barely visible - this teaches us that some waiting seasons are for others to see; other waiting seasons are for us and the Lord.
• We must discern the type of waiting season we're in. 
• God is faithful, even relentless in fulfilling His promises.
• Seasons in and out of location in the promise land don't deter Him from keeping His Word.
• It's easy for me to get caught up in my timelines and in my perceived layout of the promise. 
• The promises of God come with responsibility on our part.

In this episode of Behold Women: At the Table, Allie spends time teaching on the story of Abraham from Genesis. 

Some important takeaways and quotes: 

• I think it’s easy for us – or honestly, for me – to deify, or make saints of the patriarchs. But the reality is, they were human. They struggled, they doubted, they sinned, they messed up. They weren’t these perfect individuals who did everything the right way every single time. They were human. 
• At the call, Abram went. 
• God’s commitment to His promises overrides human weakness. The blessing was dependent on God’s promise not Abram’s behavior.
• Lot had to be a part of the journey for a season. But Abram had to separate from Lot to step fuller into His destiny and promise.
• With nothing other than God’s promise of many offspring, illustrated by the stars in the sky, Abram believed God.
• Let’s not let our barrenness in waiting seasons consume and define us.
• God shows himself faithful to his promises even when human beings doubt and feel the need to take matters into their own hands.
• Previously, Sarah had doubted that she was part of God’s promise to Abraham and had taken steps to provide him with an heir through Hagar. But we see God involving Sarah and, knowing that Sarah is listening to the conversation, God gives the most specific version of the promise of a son. God does not withdraw His promise because of Sarah’s unbelief or disbelief. But He repeats it.
• Although we can find it hard and challenging to trust and receive comfort from God’s promises, His promises remain sure and are always fulfilled at the proper time.
