Gen
Even though the people had warning, there seems to not been enough room on a household level to save from the good times to help through the bad times.
Sar learned at Pitt that the Egyptians were xenophobic. This being true, what a big deal to put Joseph in charge. Along with the whole slave, been in jail thing, it certainly makes the point whom God wants to exalt will certainly be exalted.
Matt
I understand the parable, but I can make further application to just me, not just people who stay in the Christian field. There are too many weeds that have grown/are growing in me along with the good stuff. The goal is to find them and eliminate them when I realize them.
That's been an interesting thing about my work. I have the opportunity to see fine Christian people with glaring [to me] weeds. I figure my weeds may be glaring to other people. God, help me to see my weeds and get rid of them...not just from a surface perspective, but from the roots.
Ps
Thinking about Sar's comments on the 3 moods of David. It sure is easy to praise God when He's done something on our behalf, isn't it? It's a good thing. I'm thinking about what the counselor always says.."None of this surprises God. " So, although this is a thank you/praise psalm, I'm reminded to stay alert to what my attitude is in the hard parts. Confident, appreciative, teachable, patient would be good things
Pr
Another ad for wisdom. Solomon sure pushed its importance, but he was enticed away from applying it in his later years. I need to be mindful of that possibility. [probability?]
