Concealed Sin – Genesis 42:21-22

Posted on February 12, 2020 by Wen

Then they said to one another, “Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us.” Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not tell you, ‘Do not sin against the boy’; and you … Continue reading Concealed Sin – Genesis 42:21-22 →

What Is Your Name? – Genesis 32:27-28

Posted on February 2, 2020 by Wen

So he said to him, “What is your name?” And he said, “Jacob.” He said, “Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed.” This is a critical question for God to ask Jacob since the last time his father asked for his … Continue reading What Is Your Name? – Genesis 32:27-28 →

God’s Humble Servant – Genesis 13:9

Posted on January 16, 2020January 26, 2022 by Wen

“Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself from me. If you take the left hand, then I will go to the right, or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left.” For the first time in all of my reading of the Bible this truth regarding Abram’s offer … Continue reading God’s Humble Servant – Genesis 13:9 →

Posted on December 31, 2019 by Wen

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in … Continue reading God’s Creative Genius – Genesis 1:26-28 →

Blaming God – Genesis 42:28

Posted on November 12, 2019 by Wen

He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!” At this their hearts failed them, and they turned trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?” Why is it that often when we face the consequences of our … Continue reading Blaming God – Genesis 42:28 →

Despising Our Birthright – Genesis 25:34

Posted on January 28, 2019January 30, 2022 by Wen

Then Jacob gave Esau bread and lentil stew; and he ate and drank, and rose and went on his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright. How often do the pressing impulses and perceived needs of our flesh lead us to despise our spiritual birthright in Jesus? The battle for control of our will rages daily. … Continue reading Despising Our Birthright – Genesis 25:34 →

God Meant it for Good – Genesis 45:5

Posted on February 16, 2018January 19, 2020 by Wen

Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. This is the forgiveness of God. Joseph demonstrates divine forgiveness here. He endured unthinkable things all because of his stupid, selfish, jealous brother. Now he stands in front of them with the … Continue reading God Meant it for Good – Genesis 45:5 →

Honest Men – Genesis 42:11

Posted on February 11, 2018February 12, 2020 by Wen

“We are all sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies.” Honest men? Really? They have been holding up a lie about Joseph for years now. They chucked Joseph into a pit, sold him to some slave traders and then made up an awful lie about his death to report … Continue reading Honest Men – Genesis 42:11 →

Posted on February 11, 2018February 4, 2022 by Wen

Now his master saw that the Lord was with him and how the Lord caused all that he did to prosper in his hand. So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge. It … Continue reading Circle of Blessing – Genesis 39:3-5 →

Renewal and Restoration – Genesis 33:3

Posted on February 6, 2018March 25, 2018 by Wen

But he himself passed on ahead of them and bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother. Jacob has just been face to face with the angel of God and has finally admitted who he truly is: the deceiving supplanter. He has always wanted what someone else had (coveting) … Continue reading Renewal and Restoration – Genesis 33:3 →
