Why do you think the brothers were
frightened when they each found their bundle of money in their sacks?
Reuben was anxious to follow the
orders given by Joseph. What did he
suggest as an offering to his father to allow Benjamin to go with him to
Egypt?
What does this show you about
Rueben?
How did Jacob respond to the
request?
Sometimes the loss of a loved one,
friend, home or job can leave us in such sorrow that we may feel frozen and
unable to carry on.
God is not a stranger to loss and
death. He sent his only Son to die and
bear our sins.
Pray today that if you are gripped
by grief of someone or something that God will heal your heart and you can once
again experience joy.
