Give us this day

The elders and ministers are not the only teachers We also learn in the bible. Lessons of kindnesses and love throughout the book of Ruth and Esther. But also deceit and hypocrisy as in Genesis 27:14, when Rebekah prepared a meal to trick Isaac by making his favorite meal. God did not approve of this but He used it so that Jacob would venture away from his family and grow up. And so through the bible the Spirit (through the writers) teach us valuable lessons of what is pleasing to God and that God is still in control even though we think He isn't and we can deceive each other. The bible also teaches the extent to which people in love will go. (Gen 29:18, 30) And in Isaiah 48:12, God teaches us just how much He loves us, He has given us His calling, He defines Himself for us as the One and Only.
