SUPPORT HEART DIVE

Day 020 Genesis 25-26

Day 020 Genesis 25-26

Welcome to Day 020. Abraham is gone, and now we follow Isaac. Isaac is faithful, but he’s also human. He lies about his wife Rebekah, just as his father Abraham lied about Sarah.

We also meet Jacob and Esau, twins born with tension between them from the beginning. Esau is the firstborn, yet God tells Rebekah that “the older will serve the younger.” This reverses everything the culture expected.

Despite Isaac’s mistakes and the family’s dysfunction, God’s purposes move forward. His promises don’t depend on our perfection.

The Heartbeat: God’s plans are not thwarted by human weakness or failure. He works through broken people, flawed families, and complicated circumstances. His faithfulness isn’t contingent on our faithfulness.

Heart-Check: Where have you felt disqualified by your failures? God’s purposes for you don’t depend on your perfection.

Before Heart Dive

Our Foundation: In 2023, Kanoe took the first dive. It began as a raw, real-time experimental Bible study in consistency; a commitment to walk through the Word chronologically and see what happened when we showed up for God every day.

This was where Heart Dive was birthed, not as a ministry but as a personal call to obedience. Kanoe didn’t intend for it to catch fire and grow beyond her “junk journaling” of #NOTESandHUES.

Yet, it was where she found her rhythm, testing the waters of daily video commentary and discovering a community of “Heart Divers” hungry for more than just a surface-level reading.

These early reflections may contain doctrinal or technical errors. We ask for your grace as you listen, and always encourage you to study the Word for yourself.
