Day 20 January 20 Genesis 41:17-42:17 Matthew 13:24-46 Psalm 18:1-15 Proverbs :1-6

Genesis 41:17-42
The Pharaoh makes a point of saying that all the magicians could not figure out the dreams or visions. I believe that this is important as Joseph doesn't take credit for interpreting the dreams it is all God and he can figure what an army of magicians can't. The Lord provides all the answers, this story illustrates how blessed Joseph is and how people associated with Joseph get blessed as well.
Matthew 13:24-46
The Kingdom of heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value he sold everything he owned and bought it, why did Jesus choose to speak in parables. Does he not want to bring as many people to the Lord as possible. If he is speaking in riddles will they not have a harder time understanding the words of truth that bring people to the Lord. The disciples even need to have these parables explained to them so you can imagine the commoners who don't have them explained in private talks with Jesus. "I will speak to you in parables , I will explain things hidden since the creation of man."
Psalm 18:1-15
Q Is this a literal account of a battle where David called on the Lord in the middle of a battle.
Proverbs 4:1-6
This is the direction for children to listen to their parents, again it refers to the importance of wisdom. It refers to wisdom as a female as it has before, it seems accurate to me that wisdom would be a soft caressing female and intellect as being a strong abrasive male. Intelligence is really nothing without wisdom as its guide.
