“Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.”

Genesis 40:23

Like Joseph we can feel forgotten, he was in prison purposely forgotten by Potiphar because of Potiphar’s scandal ridden house! Maybe today your in a dead end job overlooked by the boss or a relationship that seems to be going nowhere! Realize the LORD knows right where your at, so hold on!

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were

born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”

Jeremiah 1:5

The Lord not only knows us, He also has ordained us to share His good news of salvation! Every situation we are in, the LORD will use for His glory! He won’t leave us and He will get us through!

“Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10

No matter what situation you maybe in today realize the LORD has got you!

“And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

Today know you are called by God, you are known by God and He has a purpose for you! So hold on and know the LORD is working it all out! Have a blessed day.

“But the LORD was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.”

Genesis 39:21

Often times we can be caught up in our situation instead of being caught up in the LORD. Don’t let your situation shape who you are, but allow the LORD to use your situation to glorify Him and to build your faith!

“For the LORD your God has blessed you in all the work of your hand. He knows your trudging through this great wilderness. These forty years the LORD your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.” Deuteronomy 2:7

Like the children of Israel as we wander through this wilderness of life, realize the LORD is right there with us helping us through every situation! Remember we belong to Him and the LORD knows all and sees all!

“The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry.” Psalm 34:15

The LORD is constantly listening to us and watching us, all we have to do is call!

“The eyes of the LORD are in every place, Keeping watch on the evil and the good.” Proverbs 15:3

No matter what you maybe going through today good or bad, remember and know the LORD has a ear open for you and a eye upon you! Have a blessed day knowing the LORD has you!

“Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes. And he returned to his brothers and said, The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?”

Genesis 37:29-30

Often times when we blow it, instead of just confessing that we blew it we plot to cover up! In the next verses they kill a goat and dip Josephs coat in it’s blood and tell Jacob a wild animal got him!

“But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out.” Numbers 32:23

We can do all the plotting, planning and covering up we want, remember the LORD see’s all, hears all and know’s all! So the best thing we can do is just confess and tell the truth!

“If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9

Today don’t hide and cover, confess and be uncovered before the LORD! So He can cover you in His righteousness and wash your sins in His blood! Have a blessed day in Him!

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.”

Matthew 13:45-46

What a great picture of our LORD and what He did for us! He left all to pay our price for our sin! He puts a great price on you and me.

“The labor of righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin.” Proverbs 10:16

This is who we are wicked and self centered, yet the LORD still loves us!

“For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus our LORD.” Romans 6:23

Realize today that the LORD has you and I on His mind and in His heart all the time! All we have to do is call!

“As for me, I will call upon God, And the LORD shall save me.” Psalm 55:16

No matter what you are going through today, realize all we have to do is call upon the LORD, and He is right there to save! Have a blessed day knowing the LORD is near!

“He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Matthew 13:9

This is very interesting in a very simple way! God gave us two ears, and one mouth! Could this mean we should listen twice as much as we speak? This basic saying is nothing new but today maybe its something we should do at least for me!

“O earth, earth, earth, Hear the word of the LORD!”

Jeremiah 22:29

Today spend more time listening and hearing from the LORD, instead of demanding and commanding! Let us pray, read and wait and hear!

“I will meditate on Your precepts, And contemplate Your ways.”

Psalm 119:15

As we go through our day today, lets try to speak less and listen more! Also grab a verse or two from the word of God and meditate upon it today! And when we speak let us just say something kind and uplifting to those we come in contact with, it will change your day! Have a blessed day!

Shabbat Shalom!
