Wow! Is that in there?

I was struck several times this week by verses. Since I'm reading on an electronic device, I've been trying to capture those as notes so I can keep a record of them. Whether this is the first time you've read through the Bible in an organized fashion or you've done before, you are sure to come across those moments. Each time I do it, there are new ones.

I thought I'd share one from this week.

Now as Jacob went on his way, the angels of God met him. [Genesis 32:1 (NASB)]

That's from when Jacob is returning to see his father and Esau after having been with Laban for twenty years. I was well aware of the later encounter of Jacob with the man who wrestles with him, but I had never noticed these angels who met him prior to that.

If you can easily capture these verses, I encourage you to do so (although I would discourage anything that makes you less likely to read).

  1. I didn't know that Jews do not eat the meat of the hip socket because Jacob's hip tendon was torn when he wrestled God. Just didn't remember this.
