[Today: Genesis 47] The Children of God in the Land of Goshen. In chapter 47 of Genesis, we see the sons of Jacob installed and thriving in the land of Goshen while the famine rages all around them. For us, this is a type of the blessing of God that will rest upon us as we stay in a place of intimacy with Him. Instability and turmoil may typify the existence of all others, but we are safe and nourished by the hand of God.
