Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for collecting daily manna), make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Tuesday, July 25, 2017
Today's Passage : Today's Passage: Subject:Joseph and Potiphar’s Wife Bible Verse:Genesis 39:1-6 (ESV) "Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian, had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had. From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; the blessing of the Lord was on all that he had, in house and field. So he left all that he had in Joseph’s charge, and because of him he had no concern about anything but the food he ate. " Message:
he captain of the guard was the person in head of the Pharoah’s personal safety. Comparing him to the Chief of the Secret Service in the US would not be accurate, for monarchs were in much more personal danger and their guard more sensitive to bribery. So, for instance, the captain of the guard at the Vatican in Renaissance times was an enormously elevated post; often such a person might sit on the ruling council.
Which is to say, Potiphar was one of the most important and powerful men in Egypt, which was in turn the most powerful and advanced country in the western world. Joseph did well, becoming Potiphar’s steward. He was no doubt a remarkable man, but he had a sizable advantage: God was with him.
Meditation : Prayer : May the God of hope fill me and all of us with the joy and peace that comes from believing, so that we may abound in hope, by the power of the Holy Spirit.... Amen |
