Chapter 41: Pharaoh's Dream
Chapter 42: The Brothers' First Journey to Egypt
Chapter 43: The Second Journey to Egypt
Chapter 44: Final Test
Chapter 45: The Truth Revealed

Week 4 Reading Plan:

Monday: #VerseOfTheDay

Monday: Reflection Question
Reflection Question for the day: God Will Answer.
Joseph is summoned to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams, but makes sure to immediately state whom the interpretations come from – God. Joseph, who has was betrayed by his family, jailed at the hands of Potiphar, forgotten by the cupbearer, has not faltered in his faith, in God. 


Do you wait for God’s answer? Are you steadfast in your faith, while you wait?


Tuesday: #VerseOfTheDay

Tuesday: Reflection Question
Reflection Question for the day: Humble Servant.
Joseph correctly interpreted Pharaoh’s dream. There was seven years of plenty, followed by seven years of famine, yet Egypt survived, thanks to Joseph. Joseph stored grain, so that during the famine people would have food, and he rations it fairly to the people.

How do you serve God? What could you do to show mercy to those in need?



Wednesday: #VerseOfTheDay

Wednesday: Reflection Question
Reflection Question for the day: Dreams Do Come True.
Joseph had shared this very dream with his brothers, 20 years earlier. It had finally come true. It’s the day he’d been waiting for.


What dreams have come to fruition in your life? What hand did God have in making them come true?


Thursday: #VerseOfTheDay

Thursday: Reflection Question
Reflection Question for the day: Trying to Understand Evil.
Joseph needs answers. He decides to test his brother’s to see where their loyalty will lie, when Benjamin’s livelihood is threatened. Judah steps forward and begs to trade places with Benjamin, stating he could not bear to see the anguish of his father.


I’d like to think that we all look for the good in others. How do look past evil and stay in the light?


Friday: #VerseOfTheDay

Friday: Reflection Question
Reflection Question for the day: Forgiveness.
Joseph is finally able to reveal his identity and the truth, that his own brothers sold him into slavery. In this moment, where he can point fingers and seek revenge, he does not! Instead he tells his brothers “It was really for the sake of saving lives that God sent me here ahead of you.” Genesis 45:5 WOW!
Joseph sees the big picture, he holds no grudge, he seeks no revenge, but rather he offers to provide for his brothers and their families.


Do you see the big picture. What transgressions do you need to forgive? How would loving past this hurt make your life better?
