Genesis 44-45
Josephs servants really stand out in this chapter. They didn't question why Joseph was having them entrap his brothers, they obeyed.
The honesty of Judah, (except saying Joseph was dead) disclosing all truth to Joseph of what transpired and offering himself as a slave in the place of Benjamin. How willing are we to give up our freedom for someone else?
For Joseph to tell his brothers that God had a plan through all that Joseph had gone through. (vs 5) He sees that "it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you". Also (vs 8) "it was not you who sent me here, but God."
Matthew 33-
We learn in this chapter about taxes (give unto Caesar) and tithes (to God what is Gods). What a great reminder as tax season approaches to be honest with our income and expenses. Also, are we remembering to give tithes back to God after all that He's given us?
Verse 30 talks about how there won't be marriage in heaven and also implies that the angels aren't married either :)
Jesus gives the two greatest commandments
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and to love your neighbor as yourself. (vs 37 and 39).
Are we loving God with everything we have? Are we loving others as much as we love ourselves? Jen Gray gave me a good JOY analogy years ago, Jesus, Others, You! We should love God and other people more than we love ourselves.
