Cary Cox, from Genesis 35:16-29 and ch36. God has revived Jacob, who is now leading his family and walking with God again. But, even though Jacob is doing what is right, he still faces wave after wave of sorrow. God leads his beloved people along the path of suffering because he loves us. He teaches us and transforms us, drawing us close to him. There is still blessing in the brokenness, and there is always hope in our heartache!
