18 Jan 2013 a beautiful day to be alive, in Texas, a child of The King and on the way to heaven. How about you, wherever you are, are you ready for the Rapture? Hope your reading has encouraged you to follow Christ.

Jealousy will cause (good-sane) people to do bad things. The LORD caused Jacob's family feud to be recorded by Moses in Genesis37so that we might learn to see circumstances and flee from hating and hurting others. Don't focus only on the events, but focus on Him who controls all events. What trait or attribute did you see in God? Pay attention to how Joseph will be protected by family and enemies. Note the lineage of Christ as it recorded in the life of Judah.

Matthew wants us to that Jesus is greater than all humans. Note the OT linkage to NT events and circumstances.  The Psalmist declared that God was his source of hope, trust and goodness. The writer of Proverbs shows the benefits of being saved and states that the secrets of The LORD are with the redeemed. 

We all have a choice a to "how" we hear these truths, what we believe and what we do. Because consequences of making bad choices that lead to sin do not always blast us immediately, we presume on God. Consider the family of Judah as they relate to Joseph and learn that years may or do pass before our sins find us out.  My advice to us all is to get right, be right, do right and don't quit. luvpj
