Today’s Reading

1/15/2019     Day 15   Genesis 46: 1 - 50:26

Reflection:

Jacob and the family are brought to Egypt; Joseph sets them up with
Pharaoh’s permission; famine breaks out and Joseph acquires
everthing - property, livestock, themselves for slavery - for Pharaoh that
they have during these lean years; Jacob dies and buried in Canaan;
Joseph forgives his brothers; Joseph lives a long life and dies in Egypt.

Meditation/Contemplate:

All things work for good for those who love God and are called
according to God’s plan.

Prayer:

Keep us mindful that life is abundant in you; Guide and direct us in
all that we do so that it will strengthen us for service to the world.
Amen

Psalm 98 or

Coverdale

Cantate Domino

Sing to the LORD a new song, *

for he has done marvelous things.

With his right hand and his holy arm *

has he won for himself the victory.

The LORD has made known his victory; *

his righteousness has he openly shown in

the sight of the nations.

He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to

the house of Israel, *

and all the ends of the earth have seen the

victory of our God.

Shout with joy to the LORD, all you lands; *

lift up your voice, rejoice, and sing.

Sing to the LORD with the harp, *

with the harp and the voice of song.

With trumpets and the sound of the horn *

shout with joy before the King, the LORD.

Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it, *

the lands and those who dwell therein.

Let the rivers clap their hands, *

and let the hills ring out with joy before the LORD,

when he comes to judge the earth.

In righteousness shall he judge the world *

and the peoples with equity.
