655) It is not unusual these days to do genetic testing on perspective parents. In these results, potential illnesses, health benefits, family history warnings, connections with others you did not know exist, and ethnic make-up can be known. The problem is, these tests do not cover everything. Genesis 25:23 tells us that God specifically knew about the twins Rebekah was carrying. He told her about their future nations, how they would handle family disagreements and which family will rule. None of these things would modern testing reveal, but the good news is, God knows our genetics and DNA, cell by cell. He is in the business of giving us the strength and courage we need, regardless of what is on the way. This does not mean that pain will disappear because life in this fallen world is full of it, but it also gives us the hope that in the next world, all will be right. We don’t need spiritual genetic testing.
