“But the people of Israel did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective, so Adonai handed them over to Midyan for seven years.”

Genesis 37:1 CJB

Even though we are in the world we don’t need to be part of the world! The sad thing is as life goes on we have a tendency to settle for what the world has! As we continue reading we see the story of Jacob and his family will turn tragic rape, murder and incest, be careful of settling in the world!

“If you belonged to the world, the world would have loved its own. But because you do not belong to the world-on the contrary, I have picked you out of the world-therefore the world hates you.”

“My lips will shout for joy; I will sing Your praise, because you have redeemed me.”

Today, don’t settle for the world and its trappings, step out in the LORD because we’ve been redeemed and called to share His glory! Have a blessed day!
