Genesis 50:1 - Exodus 2:10Matthew 16:13-17:9
Psalm 21:1-13
Proverbs 5:1-6
As I read Genesis 50 and then Exodus 1, I am amazed at the difference one page makes. Genesis ends with the Israelites in Egypt, on top of the world, looking optimistically towards the promise. Then, one page later we find the Israelites as slaves in Egypt, abused and misused, with no hope for the future. I guess this just shows how life goes. One day we are concerned about this thing, worried about this plan, and thinking about this dream. Next day, we find ourselves with a whole new set of worries, dreams, and plans. I don't know, I guess sometimes its funny to stop and take a look at it. I just wanna step back and say "Hey... it's all gonna be OK! Yesterday we were worried about _________, and now that this is no longer an issue, we've started worrying about _______. But, we shouldn't stress ourselves too much. After all, didn't God take care of it in the first place?" I guess that's what I feel today, on a day where we find ourselves once again at the mercy of life and its demands. Don't worry! Pray! Fast! Turn to God! And realize that the next chapter is only a page away.
