DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 35:9 to 36:13; Proverbs 31; Luke 5:17-39
And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. Genesis 42:8
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph. Genesis 45:3
The first time Joseph came to his brothers they did not recognize him. The second time, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers and they were troubled at his presence. Jesus, like Joseph, “came unto His own, and His own received Him not” (John 1:11). But He is coming back again and will reveal Himself to His people and restore them to Himself. We will know Him then! What a wonderful God we serve whose ways are past finding out. —Rex Trogdon
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all. —E. Perronet
