February 20, Genesis 49 and 50, Everybody's Dead. Now What?

PRAYER

Daddy,

I lift up my community to you, and I know there are a lot of people who don’t know you as Lord and Savior, and I know others know you are God and think that is enough. I ask that you would make me a light in their darkness, that the relationship I have with you would be a beacon to them. Create divine connections and appointments so I can talk to them and you can be glorified. Show me a way into their lives.

Bless these people with healing they need in every area of life. Bless them financially and especially bless them relationally. I know some are looking for healing in their families, and I ask that you would bless them with that.

Give our leaders wisdom, and be glorified in them and their decisions. Lord, may you above all things be the center of this area.

And, Lord, we need rain. I ask that you would send us rain.

In the precious name of Jesus I pray,

 Amen

 BIBLE READING

 Genesis 49—Sometimes I want to go back and actually follow the family lines to see what happened to them. Maybe I’ll do that.

Genesis 50— Two thoughts: 1. Did the Egyptians give this monstrous caravan and honor because this man was Joseph’s father or because of the man himself? Does it say and I just missed it? I don’t know.

2. Why did Joseph weep again? Was it because his brothers were still stuck in their emotional and mental guilt prison or because even after all the time with him, they didn’t know him? Was he grieved because he still didn’t really belong? They still saw him as an outsider?

Done with Genesis!!! How are you feeling?

 

MEMORIZATION

27 “But to you who are listening I say:

Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
28 bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.—Luke 6
 
Do you ever wonder why certain things stick in your head and others you really have to fight for? I’m having to fight for Luke 1:37-38

“No word of the Lord will ever fail.”

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be fulfilled to me as you have said.”
Then the angel left her.
 
37 For no word from God will ever fail.”
38 “I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered.
“May your word to me be fulfilled.”
Then the angel left her.

Still fighting for this.

BIBLE STUDY/JOURNAL

 
I have tried to handle this valiantly. However, I am so sleepy I could fall asleep right now, so I think I am going to do just that. I’ll see you tomorrow. Probably later than usual, but I’ll see you.

Blessings,

Jerri
