Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Genesis 37

Highlight Verse:

“But his brothers hated Joseph because their father loved him more than the rest of them. They couldn’t say a kind word to him.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭37‬:‭4‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I admit it. I was the spoiled younger brother. I can relate to Joseph.

Still, I knew better than to taunt my brother with visions of superiority.

Maybe that’s why he never sold me into slavery. He was probably tempted, though.

Israel’s family dynamics were far more messed up than ours.

We had to overcome some trust and hurt issues but all us Solano kids get along well now.

God redeemed the hurt and guilt issues of Israel’s family and used the situation to save them and eventually the whole world.

If you are dealing with family strife, realize that God can redeem it too!

Are there feelings of hurt or guilt you are dealing with in your family?
What would it take to put them aside and seek healing in those relationships?
