Heavenly Father, You are so good to
me. So much better than I deserve. Even on my best day, I know I don’t deserve
Your love and You show Your love to me every single day. Sometimes even more on the days I’m
struggling than on my good days. Thank
You for always showing Your love to me.
I know I don’t always see the things You do for me and the ways You show
Your love, but I do know You love me.
Help me to see those things You do just to whisper “I love You, my
child!” and to encourage me. Help me
pass Your love along to those around me.
In Jesus’ name.
Amen!
How God blessed Joseph during times
of difficulty and plenty!
God has not changed. He continues to show his faithfulness to us
daily.
How has God blessed you in the past
and how does He continue to bless you today?
During this dreadful heat wave in
Texas, I’m reminded that simply finding a parking space close to my destination
is not a coincidence, but a God Wink saying, “here you go! I love you more than you can ever imagine!”
Find the small ways and the big ways
that God shows His love to you every single day and thank Him for His
lovingkindness.
Genesis 41:37-57
37 This
proposal pleased Pharaoh and all his servants. 38 And
Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the
Spirit of God?” 39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since
God has shown you all this, there is none so discerning and wise as you
are. 40 You shall be over my house, and all my
people shall order themselves as you command. Only as regards the throne will I
be greater than you.” 41 And Pharaoh said to
Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.” 42 Then
Pharaoh took his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand,
and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain about
his neck. 43 And he made him ride in his second
chariot. And they called out before him, “Bow the knee!” Thus he set
him over all the land of Egypt. 44 Moreover,
Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no one
shall lift up hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.” 45 And
Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-paneah. And he gave him in marriage
Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On. So Joseph went out over the
land of Egypt.
46 Joseph
was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land
of Egypt. 47 During the seven plentiful years the
earth produced abundantly, 48 and he gathered up
all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put
the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around
it. 49 And Joseph stored up grain in great
abundance, like the sand of the sea, until he ceased to measure it, for it
could not be measured.
50 Before
the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph. Asenath, the
daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore them to him. 51 Joseph
called the name of the firstborn Manasseh. “For,” he said, “God has made me
forget all my hardship and all my father's house.” 52 The
name of the second he called Ephraim, “For God has made me fruitful in the
land of my affliction.”
53 The
seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end, 54 and the
seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine
in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 55 When
all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread.
Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.”
56 So
when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph opened all the storehouses
and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of
Egypt. 57 Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to
Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
