A Chapter a Day: Genesis 40
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-40.html
A Chapter a Day. I didn't set out to write devotions,but that's what these have become for some people. I didn't st out to have a stroke, either, but that's what happens when you're not paying attention. Not that there's nothing admirable about Joseph. In this chapter, he trusts God, but still works hard. There's a lot we can learn from Joseph. But I'm not holding him up as an example or anything. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Chapter a Day: Genesis 35
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-35.html
A Chapter a Day. Rachel was the favorite wife of Jacob, but she was also the only patriarchal wife not buried in the family tomb. God generally blesses the first marriage of someone; in fact, it's hard to think of a case in which that's not true. (Remember that just because something's in the Bible doesn't mean that God approves of it.) The only exception I can think of is David and Bathsheba, and I admit I haven't figured that one out yet.

A Chapter a Day: Genesis 49
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-49.html
A Chapter a Day. Jacob's blessings for hiss sons are prophetic, describing their past, present, and future. It's amazing that the patriarchs were also prophets. They spoke directly with God. The Holy Spirit, who knows the future, spoke through Jacob, and Jacob let him. That's what most people forget about hearing from God: letting him talk. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Chapter a Day: Genesis 41
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-41.html
A Chapter a Day. Oh, by the way, a couple years ago I met a Hebrew who might be able to help you.". The amazing thing is that Joseph patiently kept working. Of all the patriariarchs he was probably the only one who trusted Yahweh from the beginning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Chapter a Day: Genesis46
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis46.html
A Chapter a Day. In Genesis, genealogies usually mark the end of one story and the beginning of another. Here's the exception. In this case, tells the reader that all the males of Jacob's line went to Egypt. The entire nation of Israel was there, as promised by God. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Chapter a Day: Genesis 37
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-37.html
A Chapter a Day. It was no secret that Jacob played favorites. Rachel's was his favorite wife. Joseph was his favorite son. Everybody knew it too. How do you think Gad or Zebulun felt about that? Add to that the fact that Joseph was kind of a snot, as most of us were at 17, and there's little wonder his brothers did what they did. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Chapter a Day: Genesis 43
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-43.html
A Chapter a Day. Finally, someone callsJacob on his favoritism. Judah points out that if they don't get food soon, not only will Jacob and Benjamin die, but so will the s wother ten brothers and their children,. God intended them to go to Egypt. What Jacob wanted was about as important as what you or I want. When God means to do something, he does it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

A Chapter a Day: Genesis 50
http://lcbchapteraday.blogspot.com/2014/01/genesis-50.html
A Chapter a Day. In this chapter, Joseph dies and Jacob is buried. It's not as weird as it sounds. The real story is verse 20. I can't count the sermons and books based on that verse. My Reformed brothers and sisters seem to love the story of Joseph in general and verse 20 in particular. All I'll say is be very careful about deriving a general principle from a specific instance.
