Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 46-47
Jacob is directed by God to bring his entire family to Egypt. God directed him to do this even knowing that it would eventually lead to the enslavement of His people for 400 years in this land. (Remember Genesis 15:13-14? "Then the LORD said to Abram, 'Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.'")
I don't have any great insight into that, just an interesting observation.
I am a little behind on my reading. Our son was here for a visit and I confess that some days I did not make the time to read. I did feel guilty about it a couple of times, but then would remember that I am saved by grace and not of works. While I view this as a very good endeavor I am not bound by it. I want this time in God's word to be a labor of love not a labor of duty. Though I know there are days to come when I will force myself to it just because I know it is good for me, not because I am taking any particular delight in it that day.
And that is okay too.
To God be the Glory
