Psalm 78
Learn the teachings of God; we will tell them to all generations; teach your children; so they can tell them to their children; do not forget what God has done and the story of salvation with miracles and wonders; God provided for all their needs. Do not be faithless like those in the past; God is merciful.
Genesis 45
Joseph can not contain himself anymore and reveals himself to his brothers and forgives them; he tells how God has taken his tragedy in order to save the entire nation from starvation; he gives his people the land of Goshen to live and prosper, and the nation moves to Egypt.
1 Corinthians 7
Paul continues his teachings; the married man and woman must focus on the Lord; Let them marry; better to be single and focus on God but yes you can marry.
Mark 6
Jesus went to his hometown; where did he get his wisdom; we know him; Jesus said prophet held no honor in their hometown; he went off there and sent off his disciples to do ministry and repent; they healed many.
Today - all things work for good for those who love God and are called according to the purpose of God.

Jubilate

Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands;
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God;
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise;
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting;
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
