Today's Reading
Genesis. I am always intrigued by the interaction between Joseph and his brothers after their father died. If revenge is a dish better served cold, Joseph had every opportunity to force-feed it to his brothers... but he didn't! What a powerful picture of forgiveness!
This concludes a Bible book for us. It is one of the longer books, but it is also mostly told as a story and easy to follow. We will have some challenges ahead.
Exodus. The account continues. The Bible hits the fast forward button here and we jump about 400 years ahead. Notice the change in status for the descendants of Jacob. Notice the care of God as He continues His redemptive plan in the midst of such human indignity.
Matthew. What do you think He meant when Jesus said, "Upon this rock I will build my church?" Today's reading includes that and other very interesting lessons. I can't wait to hear your questions and comments!
King David was a warrior. In today's Psalm, he rejoices in God's victory over his enemies.
Proverbs today contrasts the "sweetness" of temptation with the reality of the consequences. It's a great lesson, no matter what tempts you.
