Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Genesis 49 brings us a serious warning: Our deeds and choices have a decided influence on our lives and on our descendants. Many times we are surprised to see how our children Christian and Giovani have behaviors and defects similar to ours. We know that drawing a path of their own has been a struggle, a rational and spiritual quest to strengthen the good characteristics and minimize the bad influences we conveyed to them. But Genesis 49 also brings good news: we do not necessarily have to be bound by the curse of a bad origin. The grace of God can turn a curse into a blessing. Simeon and Levi, on account of their violent character, influenced the dispersion of their tribes in Israel (v.7). But on account of a wise choice by the tribe of Levi to stand against the easy path of idolatry (Ex. 32:26), God chose the Levites as a priestly tribe for Israel. We have two choices today: to just lament our environmental and hereditary weaknesses, or to submit to the action of the Holy Spirit to transform our character into the likeness of Jesus. God can turn your good choices into a good harvest with eternal effects on our natural and spiritual children." ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/49 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"This chapter helps us understand Jacob's character and the importance of family relationships. Jacob was an affectionate father who wept over Joseph's disappearance and grieved when Simeon was imprisoned in Egypt. Jacob, now a loving grandfather, kisses and embraces his grandchildren. Surprisingly, Jacob adopts the two sons of Joseph, Manasseh and Ephraim, as his own sons. This was a way of honoring the memory of his beloved wife Rachel, whom he dearly wished could witness that moment with the grandchildren. Thus, the prophecy given to Joseph, that he would have a double portion among his brethren, came to be fulfilled. Jacob refers to God as the benefactor of his life– the One who appeared to him in a moment of great need as he fled to save his life, and the One who promised to bless him with many offspring (verses 3-4). Jacob bears witness that God sustained him and delivered him from all evil, and he pleads with God to bless the children of Joseph (verses 15-16). Jacob's words and deeds reveal the intimacy of his walk with God. Lord, help us to reveal your character to others, especially in the family circle." ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/48 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Joseph was very happy with the arrival of his extended family. After the initial festivities, he decided to help them with the choice of a place to live. In view of Pharaoh's appreciation of Joseph, the probability was great that he would offer to his brothers important offices in the service of the king, but this would expose them to idolatrous and corrupting influences. Thus Joseph instructed his brethren to tell Pharaoh that they were shepherds, even though they knew that the Egyptians considered shepherds to be a degrading activity. When the king knew that Joseph's brothers were shepherds, he gave him permission to establish his relatives in whatever place he deemed most convenient. Joseph chose Goshen as a suitable place, because it was provided with good pastures and plenty of water. There his relatives could worship God far from the corrupting influences of the Egyptian culture. Joseph had in mind the best for his family. In the same way, we should choose places of residence and professional activities that are favorable to our children's development and spiritual well-being, far from the demoralizing customs of the world. Lord, help us to be prudent and wise like Joseph!" ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/47 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Genesis 46 brings the story of Joseph full circle. Long ago, Jacob’s mourning over his dead son turned to a dull ache that wouldn’t go away. Now, there’s a huge lump in his throat as he learns his son is alive after all. But will they still have a relationship after all these years? And the promise God made to his family – was it imaginary? Jacob offers a sacrifice to God before the trip, but he is nervous. That night, God speaks to Jacob and tells him not to be afraid because the promise still stands (vs. 3). Joseph and Jacob have a wonderful reunion – Jacob thought his son was dead, but he is alive! They embrace each other and weep together for a long time. Joseph advises his family to tell the Egyptians that they are shepherds, a profession he says Egyptians think is an “abomination,” so they can live away from the Egyptians in Goshen. While it is good land, they are also able to live separate from the religious and cultural influences of the region and more freely practice their faith.
It will be hundreds of years before the family leaves Egypt but God will still keep His promise." ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/46 Our accounts in other social networks:

Commentary by Edwin Reynolds:
"Joseph started with dreams of greatness only to be thrown into a hole in the ground and sold into slavery by his brothers. He became the head servant for a government official, only to be falsely accused of rape and thrown into prison. Now he’s the second most powerful man in Egypt, his brothers groveling at his feet. It’s payback time. Except he doesn’t take revenge. Instead, Joseph looks back at his life and, for the first time, sees the big picture. Through all the struggles, he sees that God has been working out His will. The slavery, the prison, the power –all the pieces now make sense. God has given Joseph the task of preserving the promise that He made to Abraham (vs. 7). God hasn’t forgotten about Joseph – God was at work the entire time. Maybe you’ve had a lifelong dream of doing something great for God. But your plans have been derailed and you’ve hit a dead end. Maybe it seems like God has given up on you. But God hasn’t forgotten the dream He put in your heart – it’s His dream too. Just like He did with Joseph, God is fighting your battles, making His purpose become reality in your life." ❤️ Jump to Daily Bible Reading https://www.revivalandreformation.org/bhp/en/bible/gen/45 Our accounts in other social networks:
