THEY CAME TO JOSEPH

PRAYER PAUSE

THEY CAME TO JOSEPH


Pause. Enter into the stillness of God within.


Reading: “People came from all over the world to Egypt to buy bread from Joseph.” (Genesis 41:55 … 42:24)



Reflection. We are racing through Genesis with all its symbolism of the purpose of God. Joseph has already been sold and is now No. 2 in Egypt. He is going to be revealed to his brothers in the sharing of grain for making bread and the symbolism continues. The brothers’ hearts will burn within them when the recognise him. It is a great story and it is about redemption, salvation, healing. If we are to draw from it we have to reflect on it and let it speak to us.



Prayer. Lord, may we know you in the breaking of the bread. Amen.
