The Chapter-A-Day thread.

Cat and mouse comes to mind.

Right lol...

This might be a shame to say since God says Revenge is mine saith the Lord, but I feel Joseph has this coming to him, to be able to rub their faces in it just a wee little bit..but then of course, in a way, to thank him...for if it didn't happen this way, maybe Joseph and the family would be starving...

 

[bcmom]

Right, about Joseph's family starving, but that's one of things so magnificent about God, He has several plans going on at once for the same person.... Often without that person even knowing about it.
In fact, if Joseph hadn't been sold into slavery by his brothers, mankind might have ceased to exist, there's a brain teaser for ya.

I never thought of that and now that i think of it, it ties right in to Joseph's obedience to God....God was able to do ALL of that through Joseph....how glorious is that?

 

[bcmom]

Yeah, what an awesome God we have!

 

[Jimmy P]

So Joseph's ordeal is a prime example of Give God praise in all things...

Today's chapter is Genesis 43 - The Second Journey to Egypt - Now the - Bible Gateway

 

[Jimmy P]

Now it's dinner time for Joseph and a few of them...I can picture these dudes like "[bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]?" (F for Freak)....and just shrugging...don't know WHAT'S going on...

 

[brinny]

Wow, Joseph LOVED his family and was soooooo overcome when he saw Benjamin......this seems to be a clue of a broken heart and grief that he must've experienced all of this time....

what a touching chapter.....precious

 

[Jimmy P]

All's I put was W, then a T and then an F...to mean What the Freak...

 

[bcmom]

OOPS, I was commenting on chapter 44. I sometimes read ahead to see which version of the Bible to use. Sorry.

 

[bcmom]

Today's chapter is Genesis 44 - A Silver Cup in a Sack - Now Joseph - Bible Gateway

 

[Jimmy P]

In a pickle now...they can't return without Benjamin for fear of Dad dying...but Joseph wants Benjamin there...

 

[bcmom]

Could you imagine how afraid they must have been? Afraid of the mysterious man ( Joseph) and afraid of their father's wrath.

 

[brinny]

They were between a rock and a hard place.....

 

[bcmom]

Good way of putting it brinny.

 

[bcmom]

Today's chapter is Genesis 45 - Joseph Makes Himself Known - Then - Bible Gateway

Happy reading!

God Bless

 

[bcmom]

Is anyone enjoying reading the Bible as me? I can't wait each day to read the next chapter!

 

[Jimmy P]

It's like watching a TV series....you get involved and can't wait until the next episode

Can you imagine the relief of the brothers? The feeling of it all? Probably a bit scared but then seeing Joseph was cool about everything made them chill out...

I think Jacob was more happy about his little boy being alive rather then all the stuff sent to him...

 

[bcmom]

After he was done toying with his brothers, I think Joseph handled himself in a truly godly manner. A good example to all Christians of how to handle conflict with family.
