Great essay! So many of the characters had great triumphs--and failures! I for one, am a Daniel fan, stayed steady to the end! I also like the "men" that are highlighted in the Psalms, such as Psalm 1, 71 and 112.

Interesting insights. Many struggle with how these patriarchs behaved and yet are in the godly lineage. This reminds us our righteousness is rooted in belief, not our works, and these are cited for their faith. Without doubt some of their works were not commendable, and there were consequences, but faith anchored them.

Another thoughtful article…👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙏🏽👏🏽 My son and I have been going through Genesis this year in our home school. So many lessons to learn… At times, what a train wreck! 😬🤨🤦🏽‍♀️

You can definitely learn what NOT to do in so many situations by just studying the scriptures.

God Bless… 🙏🏽
