Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Genesis 41:16 "And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, ‘It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.’" After being a slave, falsely accused and thrown in prison, Joseph stood before a Pharaoh that praised him for his ability to interpret dreams. Yet Joseph humbled himself before this Pharaoh by admitting that it was beyond his ability to interpret dreams. It was God that could give Pharaoh the answers he desired. Throughout all the trials and hardship, Joseph did not get discouraged regarding God but he still trusted in Him with all his heart. As a human living in this sinful world, humility is unnatural to us. We often forget that God is the one who deserves all the praise. The story from Genesis 41 has really taught me that even though we are in the midst of trials, we must depend on God and trust Him. God has showed me through the story of Joseph that it is possible for us to commit our lives to God completely despite our sinful nature and natural selfishness. "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted." Matthew 23:12" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/41 Our accounts in other social networks:

Wednesday: The Cross and the Cost of Forgiveness
Read Hebrews 9:22-28. What does this passage say about the work of Christ in the heavenly sanctuary?
The idea that the heavenly sanctuary needs cleansing makes sense in the context of the Old Testament sanctuary. The sanctuary is a symbol of God’s government (1 Samuel 4:4, 2 Samuel 6:2), and the way God deals with the sin of His people affects the public perception of the righteousness of His government (Psalm 97:2). As ruler, God is the Judge of His people, and He is expected to be fair, vindicating the innocent and condemning the guilty.

Thus, when God forgives the sinner, He carries judicial responsibility. The sanctuary, which represents God’s character and administration, is contaminated. This explains why God bears our sins when He forgives (Exodus 34:7, Numbers 14:17-19, the original Hebrew for “forgiving” [nose?] in these verses means “carrying, bearing”).
The system of sacrifices in the Israelite sanctuary illustrated this point. When a person sought forgiveness, he brought an animal as a sacrifice in his behalf, confessed his sins over it, and slaughtered it. The blood of the animal was daubed upon the horns of the altar or sprinkled before the veil in the temple in the first apartment. Thus, the sin was symbolically transferred into the sanctuary. God took the sins of the people and bore them Himself.
In the Israelite system, cleansing from or atonement for sins occurred in two phases. During the year, repentant sinners brought sacrifices to the sanctuary, which cleansed them from their sin but transferred the sin to the sanctuary, to God Himself. At the end of the year, on the Day of Atonement, which was the day of judgment, God would cleanse the sanctuary, clearing His judicial responsibility by transferring the sins from the sanctuary to the scapegoat, Azazel, who represented Satan (Leviticus 16:15-22).
This two-phase system, represented by the two apartments in the earthly sanctuary, which were a pattern of the heavenly sanctuary (Exodus 25:9, Hebrews 8:5), permitted God to show mercy and justice at the same time. Those who confessed their sins during the year showed loyalty to God by observing a solemn rest and afflicting themselves on the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:29-31). Those who did not show loyalty would be “cut off” (Leviticus 23:27-32).
| Think what you would face if you had to face the just punishment for your sins. How should that truth help you understand what Christ has done for you? |
Amen!

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Joseph, blessed with God’s presence, had been faithful in small things. Yet his faith in choosing the right way seemed to be rewarded with a false accusation by a wicked woman! Solomon saw a pattern like this in life. “An unjust man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is abomination to the wicked.” Proverbs 29:27. Joseph’s faith wasn’t immediately rewarded. More trials and imprisonment came despite his faithfulness even in the dungeon. Such an experience might cause you or me to become angry with God, or even leave Him! Hopefully Joseph’s story will save us from such sadness. Like many others, I tend to put my hope in man rather than in God, who holds the future. Humans may fail us but God will never fail us. I love this: “He is God who knows the heart of His people and their needs better than ourselves. Often our plans fail that God's plans for us may succeed.” Help in Daily Living 12" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/40 Our accounts in other social networks:
