Settled
The Bible doesn’t give us a sense of Joseph’s interior journey to this moment. We just know in that moment he directed his pain to use his power for restoration and not a recitation of injuries. For Joseph, the matter was settled.
Unideal
The Bible treats us to a story of a woman with faith-agency. Faith-agency is the perfect balance between weekend praying and weekday doing.
Family
Next time someone asks you how’s your family doing, don’t say, fine. Say, …ripe for reversal!
Climbing Higher
In this current climate when our “freedom” is so tested, the spiritual and Biblical passage remind us of God’s faithfulness to our freedom now and future generations.
Old
Celebrate your advanced age. And let your later years of faith be greater than your former years. Let your faith be old as in mature, seasoned, persuaded and abiding.
Wrestle
What is amazing about God and God’s approach to wrestling with us is God is never trying to contort us into something other than ourselves.
