Genesis 37:1-11
12 Sons Had One Father
The story of Joseph continues the lineage of the people of Israel - God’s chosen people. It is clear from beginning to end that God is more faithful to His people than they are to Him. We will see, in the life and times of Joseph, that in God’s sovereign plan nothing is wasted. In the end, our lives, like Joseph’s, will prove our great need for God’s salvation and that his plans and purposes for our lives are good.

PRAYER
Father, the son, Jesus, spoke to his disciples before he ascended into heaven. He said, “…go ye into all the world and preach (spread) the gospel to every creature…and know that I will be with you…” Jesus promised to be with his followers as they sought to accomplish their mission. Those words apply to us, don’t they Father? Therefore, give us faith to believe that Jesus is with us everyday to protect us and provide for us and to especially empower us to identify with Jesus openly with family and friends and to share the good news that Jesus died on the cross to pay for our sins and rose from the dead to give us eternal life also with him both now and in heaven one day. Thanks Father. We love you. Help us to love you more. In Jesus ‘ name amen!
