TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 46
PHall | January 29, 2019
TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 46 – Jacob leaves the Promise Land to go to Egypt. This is the same thing Abraham did (Genesis 12). What is similar is a famine. What is different is permission to go. God tells Jacob, “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt” (Genesis 46:3). If Egypt represents that […]
Genesis 37-43 – TODAY’S PRAYER
PHall | January 23, 2019
TODAY’S PRAYER – The narrative of Joseph is also the personal story of one of his brothers. It was this brother’s callous idea to sell Joseph into slavery (Genesis 37:26-27). This brother’s story includes him visiting a “prostitute” not knowing she was his daughter-in-law, and then wanting to put her to death for getting pregnant […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 43
PHall | January 22, 2019
TODAY’S PRAYER – Jacob waited out of fear. Simeon waited in prison while Jacob waited out of fear. Eventually the brothers had to return to Egypt, due to the famine, with Benjamin. If they hadn’t, they would not be granted another audience with the disguised Joseph, and their other brother would remain imprisoned. Jacob thinks […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 42
PHall | January 19, 2019
TODAY’S PRAYER – The story of Joseph is a foreshadowing of Jesus. The story is not just about Joseph; it also includes his brothers and father. Genesis 42 records two reactions to seemingly bad situations (read the chapter). The brothers lament, “What is this God has done to us?” (v.28). The father complains, “Everything happens […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 40
PHall | January 18, 2019
The more things change, the more they stay the same. Pharaoh’s cupbearer and baker “offended” him. Consequently, they both lost their jobs. Now their punishment was more severe than in today since they were also imprisoned and eventually the baker was put to death. Today, people are threatened with losing their jobs, “outed” on social […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 35:1-4
PHall | December 14, 2018
TODAY’S PRAYER – God tells Jacob to “Get up! Go to Bethel and settle there. Build an alter….” (Genesis 35:1). Nothing surprising there. But the next verse…”So Jacob said to his family and all who were with him, ‘Get rid of the foreign gods that are among you. Purify yourselves….” (35:2). Shouldn’t Jacob had already […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – 1 Corinthians 4:3-4
PHall | December 5, 2018
I get depressed and down too easily sometimes, (not that many care – see I told you “too easily”). I don’t thrive on people’s approval of me and my work because I too easily upset others unknowingly. In prayer I will rephrase and personalize 1 Corinthians 4:3-4 – “All Seeing Judge, Help it to be […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – 1 Corinthians 1:4
PHall | December 4, 2018
TODAY’S PRAYER – “I always thank my God for you because of God’s grace given to you in Christ Jesus” (1 Corinthians 1:4). There are people, brothers and sisters in Christ, we thank God for because of what they mean to us. Maybe they are mentors, or spiritual parents, helped us financially, taught us something, […]
TODAY’S PRAYER – Genesis 25
PHall | November 29, 2018
Esau sold his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of beans. He came in from an unsuccessful hunting trip exhausted and famished. Upon asking Jacob for a bowl, the younger brother bargained Esau’s birthright (twice as much left to the one with the birthright) for lentils and bread. Esau rationalized his bad decision by exaggerating […]
