GENESIS 38-39:
In
yesterday's reading in Genesis 37, 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. They also will be happy to assist you in knowing where to throw away your gold and silver.
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.
