“May God Almighty cause the man to be merciful to you so that he will release your other brother and Benjamin to you. As for me, if I am deprived of my sons, then I am deprived.” - verse 14
Lord, as I go through my day today with my husband and my children, please help me live the example that You have given me through Israel of a meek spirit. He was submissive to his authority even after they took another son of his, and he reacted quietly, to be easily imposed on, if more sons were to be taken away. I am exhausted today and need You to be strong because I am incredibly weak. Thank You for showing me that You live inside of me, and when I am being weak, Your Spirit takes over to do the work. I know my ministry is in my home to make disciples of the children You have given me but I know I couldn’t do that without Your daily strength, Lord. Amen.
Scripture memory: “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
Philippians 4:13
🤗 I think yes Benjamin didn’t do anything wrong to him so his love for his little brother is deeper and just like you said the other day, Benjamin is from his same mother so that’s his full brother. The other men are half brothers from the other women.
I too noticed how strong Israel is being and how he is a true testament of doing all things through Christ strength especially when it seems like his world is falling apart.❤️
In chapter 43, It was nice to see that they returned back with the younger brother Benjamin it was like a mini family reunion. I thought it was so kind for Joseph to continue to ask about his father well-being I hope they are reunited back together soon. I wonder if he will ever reveal his true self to his brothers and how they will react to it along with their father. I love how he still shows his brothers love even though they put him through so…
