January 14, 2015. Todays Challenge Genesis 37:1 - 36 Genesis 38:1 - 30/I Chronicles 2:3 - 6, 8 Genesis 39:1 - 23 Remember: 1. Read the suggested passages every day. 2. Find a verse or verse that hold special meaning for you in that day. 3. Praise God and pray for others in light to the Scripture you covered. 4. Reflect on the passages meaning and possibly journal a few ideas that God might be sharing with you. Todays Reflection: As we read about Josephs life, we begin to realize how lonely he must have felt at times in his life. His brothers hated him, he was sold into slavery and then imprisoned. Before we get to the good part about getting justice and being raised to a prominent position, we must first see Joseph from birth to age 30. The world would look at this part of his life and say it must have been so lonely and frightening and even some misinformed Christians might say that God was angry with him which is why he had such a difficult time. But what we do see in his life, through Gods eyes, is the fact that God was with him wherever he went. God blessed him and all that he put his hand to. In our lives we will have times when it seems that we are walking this road alone. It will seem like we are being punished in some way. Yet, we see from scripture that God promises that He will work out all of these times for our good. While Josephs brothers meant evil for him, God, we find out in a few chapters, meant it for good, as a way to save His people from famine and death. Let us consider today and if we find ourselves in a desolate place, seemingly forsaken and forgotten, let us remember the story of Josephs life. God was with Him, God is with us. Amen and Amen!! I discovered this wonderful song about not being alone. Enjoy. Never Alone by Lady Antebellum May the angels protect you Trouble neglect you And heaven accept you when its time to go home May you always have plenty Your glass never empty And know in your belly Youre never alone May your tears come from laughing You find friends worth having With every year passing They mean more than gold May you win but stay humble Smile more than grumble And know when you stumble Youre never alone Never alone Never alone Ill be in every beat of your heart When you face the unknown Wherever you fly This isnt goodbye My love will follow you, stay with you Baby, youre never alone Well I have to be honest As much as I wanted Im not gonna promise the cold winds wont blow So when hard times have found you And your fears surround you Wrap my love around you Youre never alone Never alone Never alone Ill be in every beat of your heart When you face the unknown Wherever you fly This isnt goodbye My love will follow you, stay with you Baby, youre never alone May the angels protect you Trouble neglect you And heaven accept you when its time to go home And when hard times have found you And your fear surrounds you Wrap my love around you Youre never alone Never alone Never alone Ill be in every beat of your heart When you face the unknown Wherever you fly This isnt goodbye My love will follow you, stay with you Baby, youre never alone My love will follow you, stay with you Baby, youre never alone https://youtube/watch?v=U4yRsT_fPic
