GENESIS 38-39:
In yesterday's reading, we heard of Joseph's dreams, his
brothers' jealousy, and Joseph being sold into slavery in
Egypt.
JOB 23:
Yesterday Eliphaz said:
GNT 4 It is not because you stand in awe of God
that he reprimands you and brings you to trial.
5 No, it's because you have sinned so much;
it's because of all the evil you do.
And he also said,
21 Now, Job, make peace with God
and stop treating him like an enemy;
if you do, then he will bless you.
22 Accept the teaching he gives;
keep his words in your heart.
23 Yes, you must humbly return to God
and put an end to all the evil
that is done in your house.
24 Throw away your gold;
dump your finest gold in the dry stream bed.
25 Let Almighty God be your gold,
and let him be silver, piled high for you.
28 You will succeed in all you do,
and light will shine on your path.
Beware that some teachers of prosperity in our age say things just like that, and quote such verses without understanding the message of this book.
MARK 14b:
Yesterday we heard the story of the Last Supper, the prophecy that
Peter would deny Jesus three times, and the prayers at
Gethsemane.
