Please read Genesis 43.

Meditate on verse 26.

 

When Joseph came home,

they brought into the house to him the present

 which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him.

 

After coming into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother;

 and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. 

Then opening their treasure,

 they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

—Matthew 2:11

 

How incredible!  The brothers bringing presents and bowing to Joseph foreshadowed the wise men coming to worship Christ.

Every part of the Bible, perfectly written by God Himself, reveals Himself as Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  Jesus explained Himself as revealed in ALL the Old Testament Scriptures (Luke 24:27).  Philip began with the Old Testament passage the Ethiopian was reading and preached Jesus (Acts 8:35).  Paul reasoned with people from the Old Testament Scriptures, explaining and giving evidence that Jesus is the Messiah (Acts 17:2-3).

Knowing Jesus through the revelation of Himself on every page of the Bible makes you a wise person.  In that God-given wisdom, bow before your Savior giving Him the gift of your life.

Pray Genesis 43:26 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, I give You everything I am holding in my hand.

Please let _________ do the same.


I bow before You, Jesus, today and for the rest of eternity.

Because of Your name, Jesus~”
