Genesis 44:1 - 45:28
Finally I got to read about how Joseph told his brothers who he really was. I thought perhaps the telling would be full of vengeance. After all, Joseph was tormenting his brothers quite a bit by constantly baiting their bags with stolen goods. He had manipulated them into bringing Benjamin to Egypt and then tried to keep Benjamin in Egypt as a slave. But when Joseph confronted his brothers, he didn't even let them take any blame. He told them not to be angry with themselves, for God did this so that they might have food to eat and not starve to death. That is perfectly true forgiveness and serves as an example to us all.
Proverbs 4:11 - 13
These few versus from Proverbs tells us that if we listen to the Lord, learn and obey his teachings, and walk His straight path, that the Lord will give us a long good life. Amen to that!
