Day 18 Jan 18 Genesis 37:1-38:30 Matthew 12:22-45 Psalm 16:1-11 Proverbs 3:27-32

Genesis 37:1-38:30
We get introduced to Joseph (the same one from movies plays etc) at this point in Genesis. The common theme continues with sibling rivalry and jealousy etc. A huge amount of evil and deceit are going on as the brothers plan on killing Joseph for petty jealousy, they then change there mind and decide to sell him to traders for 20 pieces of silver. The path of sinning and deceit continue and this is something I understand more than most how the snowball of continuous deceit is required to cover up previous sins etc. Why not come clean with the Lord repent your sins and lies and the weight of the world is lifted, what an awesome gift the Lord is willing to give and has given to me.
Matthew 12:22-45
The Pharisees claim the Jesus was in league with the Devil because he was casting out Demons. An extremely important part of this passage is that "every sin and blasphemy is forgiven - except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit , which will never be forgiven. Be carefull what you say as your words will either condemn you or acquit you. The Pharisees come to Jesus and say they want to see a miracle, he tells them about his Resurrection to come, he also refers to Jonah and his story with the people from Nineveh and how these people repented from their sins.
Proverbs 3:27-32
Do good things and help your neighbours , do not envy violent people as God detests this people.
