Psalm: 101 Meditation: GenWhile it’s not perfectly clear that Joseph’s brothers were lying to him to save themselves from his wrath,  Joseph’s reaction shows his hurt and love. His response was that the evil they did was used by God for good and the preservation of their family and the future. Joseph promised to take …

Psalm: 119:97-120Meditation: GenGod will have favor on whom he chooses. God had told Rebekah that Esau would serve his brother. God’s favor would pass from Abram, to Issac, to Jacob and through his descendants. Favoritism would result in the worst character coming out in each family member. God would intercede many times in the lives …

Psalm: 69:1-23 Meditation: JohnHow would it feel to be a leader and not have your own family believe in you? Some wanted Jesus to go about His ministry in a more assertive way. We do know that at least 2 brothers would believe later. Here Jesus was on God’s schedule while others  pushed their own …

Psalm: 80 Meditation 1 John: Here John explains what it means to love our brothers – not with words so much as by actions and, in truth, this passage echoes what James says in his epistle in verses 2:14-26. Love involves more than just words it demands actions often using no words at all. “This …

Psalm 78:1-39 Meditation: Genesis –The Pharaoh and his servants (or officials depending on your version) were pleased to hear about Joseph and his brothers reconnecting. We can guess that Joseph has been in his position for at least 7 years since the famine has started. He has obviously created a relationship with the Pharaoh and …

Psalm 75, 76 Meditation: Genesis – Joseph’s brothers thought that they would be attacked and sold into slavery when they were brought to Joseph’s house. The steward tells them that he received their payment for the last trip and that the God of their father must have given them the silver. How confused do you …

Psalm 72 Meditation: Genesis – Why were Joseph’s brothers so disturbed by finding the exact weight in silver that they had just paid in one of their sacks. The passage specifies that they were trembling. They seem to think that God put the money in their sack in some form of retribution from their former …

Psalm 41 Meditation: Genesis – Joseph’s reaction to his dreams is puzzling. Why, if you know that your brothers already are jealous and hate you, would you tell them about dreams you had where they are metaphorically bowing down to you? Most people would call that taunting or bragging. If you had a younger sibling …

Psalm 69:1-23, 31-38 Meditation: John – The relationship between Jesus and his brothers is an odd one. It says in the passage that none of them believed in him, but their words and actions here are more dangerous than just sibling disbelief. They are encouraging Jesus to attend a festival where there will be people …

Psalm 14 Meditation: Hebrews – This passage is deceptively powerful. It says that Jesus is unashamed to calls us brothers and sisters. Think about that for a moment. Th Savior of the world loves us as family. He loves us enough to suffer through every temptation and every pain so that he can help us …
