Day 23 Jan 23

Genesis 46:1 -47:51
God speaks to Jacob and tells him to go to Egypt and that all will be blessed and he would die there and be blessed. Joseph mentions that Egyptians despise shepards, is this something deeper that Egyptians despine shepards of men in a biblical sense, Jacob blesses Pharoa who is a man obviosly of different beleifs but Jacob still sees fit to bless this man, I beleive more is a lesson to be learned .Jacob sks Joseph to swear to him not to be buried in Egypt, he wants to be buried back in his own land and they would fulfill what he Lord said to jacob before he came to Egypt.
Matthew 15:1-28
This passage once again shows the depth and wisdom of Christ our saviour, when he addresses the Pharisees as they are accusing him of disobeying a minor age old tradition. He points out that they are the hypocrites and also fullfill Isaihhs prophacy "these peaple honor me, with their lips but their herats are far from me. There worship is a farce for they teach man-made ideas as commands from God." :its not what goes into your mouth, that defiles you: you are defiled by the words that come out of your mouth. The way I read this is we are presented with sin deciet and evil but these things are just words or thoughts if we react or speak of these things that is truley wrong.
