"Midianite traders passed by, and they pulled Joseph up out of the cistern. They sold Joseph for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt." Genesis 37:28
The story begins, the innocence of a child, hated with contempt, discarded and thrown into a well, sold for twenty pieces of silver. Sound familiar? How is this being played out today in our world? We have the stories of the Bible some of which are still playing out and each of us has a part. Hatred and contempt leads to the destruction of self. These stories in the book of Genesis are our stories, they are our own lives in a sense, intrigue, deception, guilt, pride, lust, sin. Salvation and peace is found in worshiping God and heeding His voice. His truth always prevails even when we try to ignore truth. Are you afraid of the decision God is asking you to make. Truth is truth and He will not stop until you accept His truth.
What is God saying to me: A prophetic message can not be ignored, it will play out. The pain goes away when we accept it, this is the end of the story.
Dear Father, why do we ignore the truth, I see the pain that it causes. I see how it nags at us but some would rather ignore what it is that You are saying. I love Your stories, they are real life and are playing out right in front of us. I do look forward to the final outcome and truth prevails. Open our eyes and hearts to the truth of Your word. Help us see how we are with You and how we are working against You, causing ourselves pain. Thank You Father for awaking Your Spirit within me, I love the journey. Amen.
Mary, Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.
Come Holy Spirit Come!
