Daily Devotional 1 Year Bible GEN_26:1 And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went unto Abimelech king of the Philistines unto Gerar.
GEN_26:2 And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
GEN_26:3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with thee, and will bless thee; for unto thee, and unto thy seed, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I sware unto Abraham thy father;
GEN_26:4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
GEN_26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.
GEN_26:6 And Isaac dwelt in Gerar:
GEN_26:7 And the men of the place asked [him] of his wife; and he said, She [is] my sister: for he feared to say, [She is] my wife; lest, [said he], the men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; because she [was] fair to look upon.
GEN_26:8 And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out at a window, and saw, and, behold, Isaac [was] sporting with Rebekah his wife.
GEN_26:9 And Abimelech called Isaac, and said, Behold, of a surety she [is] thy wife: and how saidst thou, She [is] my sister? And Isaac said unto him, Because I said, Lest I die for her.
GEN_26:10 And Abimelech said, What [is] this thou hast done unto us? one of the people might lightly have lien with thy wife, and thou shouldest have brought guiltiness upon us.
GEN_26:11 And Abimelech charged all [his] people, saying, He that toucheth this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.
GEN_26:12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him.
GEN_26:13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
GEN_26:14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
GEN_26:15 For all the wells which his father's servants had digged in the days of Abraham his father, the Philistines had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
GEN_26:16 And Abimelech said unto Isaac, Go from us; for thou art much mightier than we.
GEN_26:17 And Isaac departed thence, and pitched his tent in the valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
GEN_26:18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, which they had digged in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them.
GEN_26:19 And Isaac's servants digged in the valley, and found there a well of springing water.
GEN_26:20 And the herdmen of Gerar did strive with Isaac's herdmen, saying, The water [is] ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
GEN_26:21 And they digged another well, and strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
GEN_26:22 And he removed from thence, and digged another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now the LORD hath made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.
GEN_26:23 And he went up from thence to Beersheba.
GEN_26:24 And the LORD appeared unto him the same night, and said, I [am] the God of Abraham thy father: fear not, for I [am] with thee, and will bless thee, and multiply thy seed for my servant Abraham's sake.
GEN_26:25 And he builded an altar there, and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac's servants digged a well.
GEN_26:26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
GEN_26:27 And Isaac said unto them, Wherefore come ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have sent me away from you?
GEN_26:28 And they said, We saw certainly that the LORD was with thee: and we said, Let there be now an oath betwixt us, [even] betwixt us and thee, and let us make a covenant with thee;
GEN_26:29 That thou wilt do us no hurt, as we have not touched thee, and as we have done unto thee nothing but good, and have sent thee away in peace: thou [art] now the blessed of the LORD.
GEN_26:30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
GEN_26:31 And they rose up betimes in the morning, and sware one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.
GEN_26:32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac's servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had digged, and said unto him, We have found water.
GEN_26:33 And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city [is] Beersheba unto this day.
GEN_26:34 And Esau was forty years old when he took to wife Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
GEN_26:35 Which were a grief of mind unto Isaac and to Rebekah.
GEN_27:1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his eldest son, and said unto him, My son: and he said unto him, Behold, [here am] I.
GEN_27:2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death:
GEN_27:3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take me [some] venison;
GEN_27:4 And make me savoury meat, such as I love, and bring [it] to me, that I may eat; that my soul may bless thee before I die.
GEN_27:5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spake to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt [for] venison, [and] to bring [it].
GEN_27:6 And Rebekah spake unto Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak unto Esau thy brother, saying,
GEN_27:7 Bring me venison, and make me savoury meat, that I may eat, and bless thee before the LORD before my death.
GEN_27:8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
GEN_27:9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me from thence two good kids of the goats; and I will make them savoury meat for thy father, such as he loveth:
GEN_27:10 And thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, and that he may bless thee before his death.
GEN_27:11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother [is] a hairy man, and I [am] a smooth man:
GEN_27:12 My father peradventure will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
GEN_27:13 And his mother said unto him, Upon me [be] thy curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go fetch me [them].
GEN_27:14 And he went, and fetched, and brought [them] to his mother: and his mother made savoury meat, such as his father loved.
GEN_27:15 And Rebekah took goodly raiment of her eldest son Esau, which [were] with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son:
GEN_27:16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck:
GEN_27:17 And she gave the savoury meat and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
GEN_27:18 And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here [am] I; who [art] thou, my son?
GEN_27:19 And Jacob said unto his father, I [am] Esau thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me: arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
GEN_27:20 And Isaac said unto his son, How [is it] that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the LORD thy God brought [it] to me.
GEN_27:21 And Isaac said unto Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou [be] my very son Esau or not.
GEN_27:22 And Jacob went near unto Isaac his father; and he felt him, and said, The voice [is] Jacob's voice, but the hands [are] the hands of Esau.
GEN_27:23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands: so he blessed him.
GEN_27:24 And he said, [Art] thou my very son Esau? And he said, I [am].
GEN_27:25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
GEN_27:26 And his father Isaac said unto him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
GEN_27:27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son [is] as the smell of a field which the LORD hath blessed:
MAT_9:5 For whether is easier, to say, [Thy] sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
MAT_9:6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
MAT_9:7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

MAT_9:10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
MAT_9:11 And when the Pharisees saw [it], they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
MAT_9:12 But when Jesus heard [that], he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
MAT_9:13 But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
MAT_9:14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
MAT_9:15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
MAT_9:16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
MAT_9:17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
MAT_9:18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
MAT_9:19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and [so did] his disciples.
MAT_9:20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind [him], and touched the hem of his garment:
MAT_9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
MAT_9:22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
MAT_9:23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
MAT_9:24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

PSA_8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
PSA_8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
PRO_1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:
PRO_1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.
PRO_1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.
MATJ_6:7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen [do]: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
