Joseph Sold into Egypt

And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.   These are the generations of Jacob.  Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and the lad was with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives: and Joseph brought unto his father their evil report.  Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors.   And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him.   And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he told it his brethren: and they hated him yet the more.  And he said unto them, Hear, I pray you, this dream which I have dreamed:   for, behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance ...

Prayers for the People of Vermont USA

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.  For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ.  If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. 2 Corinthians 1:3-6(NIV) Encouragement in the Midst of Suffering Rare indeed is the life that is free from all trial and hardship. Even for the carefree person a lingering illness, persistent obstacle or family tragedy can result in a rude awakening to life's vagaries. To many of us such a state of affairs is an outrage. For Paul, however, suffering is an inevitable part of the Christian life and an opportunity to learn how God goes about meeting our every n...

Overcome Evil With Good

-
Image
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. — Ephesians 2:6-7 Kindness. We will often be praying for people whose lives have been wrecked by sin. Many haven't been taught social skills, and they have unlovely characteristics about them. Many have embraced wrong teachings and even are oppressed by demons. We must be braced to gracefully absorb some of their immaturity and deal kindly with their deception. We must overcome evil with good and be kind to those who are unkind to us. This honors the Lord and gives them the best chance to get His help. { PRAYER STARTER } Make me a kind person, Spirit. Let me express the kindness of our loving heavenly Father. Help me to overcome the evil around and in me with the response of spiritual kindness. We must overcome evil with good and be ...

God Blessed the Family

Prayer God bless the familes in the US and  around the world.  Then God blessed Noah and his sons, saying to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the earth .Genesis 9:1 The ark of God remained with the family of Obed-Edom in his house for three months, and the LORD blessed his household and everything he had. 1Cronicles 13:14 I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." Genesis 12:31 God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness, and let them have complete authority over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, the [tame] beasts, and over all of the earth, and over everything that creeps upon the earth.   So God created man in His own image, in the image and likeness of God He created him; male and female He created them.   And God blessed them and said to them, Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the e...

Memorial Day of Jesus Christ

  And when He had given thanks, He broke [it] and said, Take, eat . This is My body, which is broken for you. Do this to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance. Similarly when supper was ended, He took the cup also, saying, This cup is the new covenant [ratified and established] in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink [it], to call Me [affectionately] to remembrance. For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are representing and signifying and proclaiming the fact of the Lord’s death until He comes [again].    So then whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in a way that is unworthy [of Him] will be guilty of [profaning and sinning against] the body and blood of the Lord.   Let a man [thoroughly] examine himself, and [only when he has done] so should he eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discriminating and recognizing with due appreciation that [it is Christ’s] body, eats an...

HAVEST MOON---LUNA de HAVEST--AUGUST/SEPTEMBER

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn. Matthew 13:30 NIV Dejen que crezcan juntos hasta la cosecha. Entonces les diré a los segadores: Recojan primero la mala hierba, y átenla en manojos para quemarla; después recojan el trigo y guárdenlo en mi granero. Mateo 13:30 NVI " Tares" (KJV) or weeds (NIV) here are darnel (Lolium temulentum), a poisonous weed organically related to wheat and difficult to distinguish from wheat in the early stages of its growth (Jeremias 1972:224). (Calling them "tares" may tempt a preacher given to puns to title a sermon on this passage a "tare-ible parable.") Given the occasional feuding of rival farmers (Derrett 1973:43), it is not surprising that Roman law would specifically forbid sowing such poisonous plants in another's field (Hepper et al. 1982:948) or that one who fo...

The Courts No Justice

Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted.Habakkuk 1:4 NIV United States Supreme Court Ecclesiastes 3:16-17 Whatever is has already been,  and what will be has been before;  and God will call the past to account.   And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there,   in the place of justice—wickedness was there.   I said to myself, God will bring into judgment  both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity,  a time to judge every deed.”
