Genesis 35:27-29  Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years. Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him. (NIV)

I find it interesting that Isaac thought he was nearing the end of his journey before Jacob ever ran away to Haran. He said in Genesis 27:2, “I am now an old man and don’t know the day of my death.”
‭‭
Now, this text shows up after Jacob had been gone for twenty years and returned. He had been back in the land and at peace with Esau for quite some time, apparently. Isaac had resigned himself to death long before he died. 

Jimmy Draper wrote a book entitled Don’t Quit Before You Finish. This is a title worth remembering even if you never read the book. 

Wherever you are in your story today, don’t quit before you finish.

Discouragement hits us hard from time to time. Don’t quit before you finish.

Disruptions knock us off course. Don’t quit before you finish.

Delays often feel like denials. Don’t quit before you finish.

Disregard from those you serve makes you feel insignificant. Don’t quit before you finish.

I’ll stop right here for now. But I will not quit before I finish.

I will live every day according to your purpose. 

Our Father, empower me each of my life to walk the path you have laid out before me. Empower me to live each day according to your purpose for me in this time and place. Fill me with your Holy Spirit. Guide my thoughts, emotions, and behavior so that others see how good you are. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
