Favoritism: Brokenness that Begets Brokenness

REAL LIFE APPLICATIONS

Jacob outwitted his brother twice. When he fled to his Uncle Laban’s home and subsequently fell in love with Laban’s youngest daughter, Rachel, Jacob’s father-in-law substituted Leah, Rachel’s older sister, as his bride. Jacob worked an additional seven years for Rachel. In the years following we read in Genesis 31:41 that Laban changed Jacob’s wages ten times.

Jacob, the deceiver, was not only tricked multiple times by his father-in-law, but was later deceived by his ten oldest sons when they brought back Joseph’s coat of many colors—red with the blood of a kid goat. Naturally, Jacob assumed the worst and said in Genesis 37:33, “It is my son’s coat; an evil beast hath devoured him; Joseph is without doubt rent in pieces.”

God, in His sovereignty, does not let deceit slide forever. Even though it may appear the one getting the upper hand wins, God settles 10 the final score. In Jacob’s case, this certainly held true. He was deceived many more times than he deceived others.

When Jacob finally decided to leave Laban, he did so in secret. As he neared the territory of his brother, he knew he would need far more than his wits to survive. He needed God. Desperate for divine help, Jacob started praying earnestly. While praying, he encountered “a man” in the darkness with whom he wrestled for several hours. Somehow, Jacob knew he needed to hold on for his blessing. Toward morning, “the man” touched Jacob’s side and dislocated his hip. Wrestling with a hip out of joint is next to impossible, yet Jacob persevered and got the blessing he desired.

Our brokenness, whatever it is, eventually catches up with us, at which time we may feel our case is hopeless. Our spirit will feel “out of joint” as we wrestle with God. However, if we keep holding on, as Jacob did, God will give us a new name that signifies the blessing He gives us. Our old name of brokenness will be forgotten. Praise God!

“Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your promise to replace my brokenness with strength and power. Help me to hold on until the blessing comes. Amen!” —Clifford L Cole

REFLECTION by Fari Matthew

 Many people excuse their brokenness with statements like, "My father was this way," or "My grandmother was like that; this just runs in our family," or "...but you don't know what I've experienced in life!" Jacob could have had those same excuses, and maybe even had them for a while! He could have tried to justify himself by thinking, "God, you made me this way! I've been a deceiver since I was in the womb! I had no control over that!" However, after reaping the rewards of his scheming, Jacob finally came face to face with his brokenness and determined, "I want to be whole!" In desperation, he wrestled "a man"—whom many of the commentators are convinced was our Divine Redeemer in human form—until he was changed! I'm inspired to share here a few lines of a song titled "The Broken Vessel" by Andraé Crouch.

The Potter saw a vessel That had been broken by the winds and rain, And He sought with so much compassion To make it over again; And I, oh, I was that vessel That no one thought was any good, But I cried, "Lord, You're the Potter, And I am the clay, Make me over again today."

Then God picked up the pieces Of my broken heart that day; And He made me a new vessel, And revived my soul again.

O weary soul, maybe you also feel that you are broken. Maybe your vessel looks okay on the outside, but deep inside, there are cracks that belie your wholeness. If you want to be restored, there is One who can make you completely whole. Like Jacob, you can be healed of brokenness and have "power with God"!

I am currently working on this au fic of Kris knowing Tenna all of their life and C3 not being the first time They've met him. The idea that Kris is so protective of the tv and the Human Soul keeps trying to hide around Tenna to not get hurt.

anyways the idea that Kris is chasing the Soul around the house with a baseball bat and Tenna just being proud Parental of "HEY I TAUGHT THEM THAT"

anyways I'll run away with my headcanons i ramble to my partner about

Dorothea 26

What’s something the character has done you can’t get over? Be it something funny, bad, good, serious, whatever?

Her line to Billy in VW!

If it's our destiny to kill each other, then I cannot— will not—respect the goddess.

Bar the peak double headed eagle standard about "who is to blame for the war", in a more serious setting I suppose we could have had some mentions about how the war is portrayed in Enbarr - what are the people there told about the War?

That it's a war to "free the world from the vile grasp of the fake goddess and her minions"? Is Doro actually aware that the war is perceived, by non-Enbarrites, as a war of conquest and the invasion of their own lands, with the only choices left to the people invaded being "kneel or die"?

I wrote a long time ago about Scipio in FE4 only thinking of Faval and Lester as his teacherous aunts' scions, and FE5 basically has Olwen having to realise that the child hunts exist, something that she was never taught/told back then in Granvalle.

Is VW's Doro similar to Scipio and/or an Olwen who never went through her development, or she knows what happens out there but still somehow believes Faerghus/Leicester/GM being ruined is a "sacrifice" that was needed to, uh, somehow, get rid of Sothis/the leaderless CoS ?

But no, we don't have that.

We just have Doro blaming Sothis for, y'know, Billy having to fight and end the war Supreme Leader started to conquer the world (and, from her words, get rid of Sothis herself!), which comes as hilariously Adrestian (tm) and is another proof and example of Fodlan's shoddy writing.

So-called protesters have been showing up on Seinfeld's tour to interrupt the show and scream slogans.

He is having none of it, and I respect him for refusing to take them seriously. Showing up to yell slogans at him because he supports Israel doesn't do sweet fuck all to help anyone. People could have reached out and asked him to encourage humanitarian donations, but no. They showed up and yelled at a Jew because they don't actually want to do anything but yell at Jews.

Jerry: So, Richie, who's you're friend!

Richie: Huh? Oh, you mean Max. Thats my boyfriend.

Jerry: Ah, I see, I am with the times. So how long have you been friends?

Richie: We... We're not friends. We're boyfriends.

Jerry: Yeah, I know. Thats like the way people say best friends. Jeri does it.

Richie: Right, yeah, straight women do that. Gay men do not.

Jerry: Well... I am glad that you're happy, but there's nothing wrong with a little equal language.

Max: Dude, I think I could shove my tongue down your throat and he still wouldn't get it.

Richie: Yeah, it probably doesn't help when you call me dude.

Decently hot take, I found Nichelle in season one (specifically episode 3) super funny. Mostly because of her line delivery. The way she goes “OH NO! IT’S BLOWING AWAAAAAAY” fucking kills me. That entire bit was just so funny it instantly endeared me to her.

Though I do agree with popular opinion that she got snuffed in S2. Hopefully in S3 she at least gets to the merge, but what we got out of her in canon so far has been really entertaining. I like her!

Is that what you believe? It'll all go away with a new wallet? Isn't that adorable! You'll cave soon. Sin is always too tempting. Don't tell me you don't want to; lies are sins too.

Although, you really only care to keep it in your pants, huh? Even though your heart says no? You've done it before. What's another taste?

You... I don't know who you are, or what you think you know about me, but this isn't funny. I-

It's not my fault, it's hers. She's the dirty girl.
