Today's Reading
Genesis 40:1-42:38
There are two big reversals in today's reading. First, Joseph goes from being a prisoner in Pharaoh's jail to being installed as governor over all of Egypt. Second, Joseph goes from being sold by his brothers to having them come before him to plead for food for their family (even though they did not know it was him). Where do you see God at work in today's reading?
Remember to keep up with our daily readings from the book of Genesis during this week. If you need a guide, visit our Facebook page or our church web-page.
