Today's verse is Genesis 37:20
Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.
Out of these wicked machinations we see God moving to fulfill that which he had promised Joseph. Joseph’s brothers full of hate, born of envy, because of the love Jacob gave him, even the apparent favor that God was also giving him (did not his dreams that he would rule over them, speak of the Favor God had for him?) Yet, God’s word stands firm, and what God had promised, even through their wickedness, is being brought about in their attempt to forestall it. Therefore consider these testimonies of God’s Word: The words of the Lord are pure words: /As silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. /Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, /Thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. And again: More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: /Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. And Finally: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Selah [Consider these and act accordingly.] Amen.
To God be the Glory
