Promise 84 Gen. 36:24
Gen. 36:24 - "These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah - he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon." This is another one of those random verses that stick out from the norm within its context. Here the list of the descendants of Esau, now Edom, is being read out, or stated, then suddenly Anah is mentioned as the one who found the hot springs, in the wilderness. There wasn't a mention of "and God appeared" or an angel of the Lord showing up, but "he is the Anah who found the hot springs.", as if we were all supposed to know the place and say "awe, yeah, that guy!" Finding those springs must've been important. The Springs must've been significant to get special recognition, or is it that "Anah" is a common name like "John" and the Lord wanted him to be identified for which Anah it is? Regardless, whatever we do does not go unnoticed by the Lord. He notices our achievements and those things we are associated with. He wants us to know that He is right there with us in the mundane hour too, whether that be while pasturing our Father's donkeys or inputting numerical data into a computer, He is with you and with me, nothing goes unnoticed because He cares, He watches us and loves us. Thank you Lord!
