Day 17

Read: Genesis 45:16 – 47:27

Reflect:

On the journey back Joseph warned his brothers not to quarrel (Gen. 45:24)
Why do you think he did that? What does this reveal about human nature and potential conflicts, even in good times?

Jacob stopped at Beersheba to seek God’s word before going to Egypt. Remember that Beersheba is where God appeared to his father, Isaac and made a promise/covenant (Gen. 26:23-24).
When facing big life changes, what steps do you take to confirm God’s will?
