Day 26: Genesis 41-42

Today on Meditating the Word, Joseph interprets Pharoah's dreams and is placed in charge of all of Egypt; Joseph's brothers come to Egypt to buy food; the brothers don't recognize Joseph, but he recognizes them; Simeon is put in jail as a guarantee that the brothers will return to Egypt with Benjamin. 

This is Day 26. Today we are reading Genesis Chapters 41-42.

Father God, as we read about the dreams you gave to Pharoah about what was to come, I'm reminded that you have sent Holy Spirit to be with us and that he will show us things to come. Help us to listen, Father, and to heed the warnings that you have given us both in your word, and what Holy Spirit shows us. These things aren't revealed to frighten us, but to prepare us. And there is no better time to prepare for famine, for difficult times, than in times of plenty. Thank you for your faithfulness, Father. Amen
