Genesis. In today's passage, Joseph meets Pharaoh. Pharaoh was almost certainly the most powerful ruler in the world at the time. What do you think about their meeting and the results? Today I thought about the faith Joseph had when he took the risk to describe the meaning of Pharaoh's dream. You and I are reading the story from the perspective of history. He was living it out as it happened. He believe by faith that the years of plenty would come, followed by the years of famine. He had to see God do it for his faith to become reality. If the years of plenty didn't happen, Joseph would surely have been executed.
The next chapter describes Joseph facing his past. He puts his brothers to a test. Your thoughts?
Matthew. Today Jesus uses parables to teach. What a great tool to help us remember. Still, we often struggle with the parables, trying to figure out what Jesus was saying to us.
Sometimes God uses passages of Scripture to open our eyes to "see" more of the kingdom of heaven. I think that may be what we read in today's Psalm.
Proverbs. This is a beautiful picture of the love of a dad for his son.
How's your reading coming along?
