February 1 - Genesis 42:18-43:34, Matthew 13:47-14:12, Psalm 18:16-36, Proverbs 4:7-10

Genesis 42:18 - 43:34

  • Joseph feels like he's really piling on here.  
  • Remember Joseph's dream that he had back in the day?  Well, it is fulfilled here.  His brothers bowing down to him
  • I call this section "grace-ish" from Joseph

Matthew 13:47-14:12

  • Another kingdom parable - justice and choosing
  • Message translation of 13:52 - Helps me in the understanding of what is said there - He said, “Then you see how every student well-trained in God’s kingdom is like the owner of a general store who can put his hands on anything you need, old or new, exactly when you need it.”
  • We are people to be sent
  • Death of John - Jesus grieves this death.  A reminder that Jesus felt what we have felt as well

Psalm 18:16-36, Prov 4:7-10

  • Psalm 18:16-36 - again, reminder to read the whole Psalm - how does it fit together?  Feels like a bit of dialogue between God and the writer (David?)
  • Proverbs 4:7-10 - The price and power of Wisdom.  Sensing a theme here?
