Job 42:1-42:17; Genesis 37:1-38:30
Joseph sold into slavery and taken to Egypt c. 1890 BC
Today we finish reading the book of Job. Job's three friends learned more about God through these events, and hopefully you have too. At a minimum, you should come away with the understanding that misfortune isn't always a punishment from God as the result of sin. Another thing to be learned from Job is that rich blessings are given to those who love and obey God. God gives and takes away based on his knowledge and understanding, not ours. We must be patient, and put our trust in Him.
Today we also start back reading in Genesis, and the remainder of that book will mainly be focused on the life of Joseph.
