But Satan Hindered Us
Another convicting verse, reminding me this time of the unseen battle raging all around us. Satan and his armies are actively working against God's gospel message being spread around. They are actively…

Good Calls You

Strive for Holy Living
This verse is also convicting for me because it reminds me that Paul and the apostles were still striving to live holy lives, blameless in the sight of others. I can have the tendency at times to live…

Entrusted With the Gospel

Matt 5:18 Until Heaven & Earth Pass Away
I can't help but think of Rev. 21 & 22 after reading this passage. Oh how I long for the day we get to see the New Heaven and the New Earth within our New Bodies with our New Sun & Moon, God our Father,…

Matt. 5:13-16 Salt & Light
The greek words for salt and light are hallas and phos. I have these tattoed in greek on my wrists to be a daily reminder that Jesus referred to us, his followers, as the salt of the earth and the light…

Luke 4:16-30 A Prophet's Hometown
This is an interesting passage, which I think in the past I've not thought much of. The more I read it though the more interesting and confusing it gets. After reading what the passage says I keep asking…

Genesis 50:19-21 God Meant it for Good
Great set of last words for Joseph that allows for much learning from his great example. "Don't be afraid of me, am I God that I could punish you?" God is the one who determines our punishment. Who…

Genesis 50:6-11 Joseph Takes Leave to Bury Jacob
What an audience Joseph had managed to accumulate for the trip to bury his father. All the senior officials of the land went with him plus most of Joseph's family! This obviously made front page news…

Genesis 50:3 Egypy Mourns Jacob's Death
This is astonishing to me that the Egyptians mourned the loss of Joseph's father a Hebrew. Joseph really had won the hearts and minds of the people.

Genesis 47:24 20% back to Pharoah
Here we see Joseph institute a new law for those living on Pharoh's lands, that they are to return 1/5th of their crops back to Pharoah. The people were more than happy to comply as Joseph had just saved…

Genesis 47:10 Jacob Blesses Pharoah
I find it interesting in this verse that we see Jacob blesses Pharoah. Typically you would expect the blessing to come from the greater ranking person. Although I wonder how atypical the practice of blessing…
