Alone, But Not Forgotten

“The chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him."

Genesis 40:23

Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 40:8–15; 20–23.

Joseph, must have felt quite alone as he sat in prison, unjustly accused of a crime, a sin he had not committed. There had been a glimmer of hope. God helped Joseph correctly interpret a dream from a fellow prisoner who happened to be a trusted servant of Pharaoh. Joseph told the man he would be restored to his position and asked the man to remember him and mention him to Pharaoh so Joseph could gain his freedom too (Genesis 40:14). But the man “did not remember Joseph; but forgot him” (v 23). For two more years, Joseph waited. In those years of waiting, without any sign that his circumstances would change, Joseph was never completely alone because God was with him. Eventually, the servant of Pharaoh remembered his promise and Joseph was released after correctly interpreting another dream (41:9-14). 

Regardless of circumstances that might make us feel that we have been forgotten, and the feelings of loneliness that creep in, we can cling to God’s reassuring promise to His children: “I will not forget you!” (Isaiah 49:15).

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me to reach out to You when I feel forgotten and remember that You are always with me. In the name of You Son, Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Bodily Resurrection

“Christ died and rose and lived again,

that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living."

Romans 14:9

Today's Bible Reading: Acts 1:1-3.

With a frequency that is amazing, the Bible affirms the fact of the bodily resurrection of Christ. Perhaps the most direct of all its statements is Luke’s account in the book of Acts, where he reports, “To whom also he showed Himself alive after His passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days” (Acts 1:3). What are we going to do with these “many infallible proofs”? We may not be able to take all of this evidence into a scientific laboratory and prove it; but, if we accept any fact of history, we must accept the fact that Jesus Christ rose bodily from the dead.

Prayer: All the arguments concerning Your existence are refuted, Lord Jesus, as I feel Your presence each day. It causes my soul to rejoice knowing that You, my living Lord, are indeed alive, and with me! Amen.

Forever Faithful

“For the word of the Lord is right,

and all His work is done in truth."

Psalm 33:4

Today's Bible Reading: Psalm 33:1-11.

Psalm 33, is an anonymous psalm that praises God and calls listeners to join in the praise (v 1-3). The psalm encourages us to celebrate God’s faithfulness with joyful praises (v 1-3) because “the word of the Lord is right and true” (v 4). Using the world God created as tangible proof of His power and dependability (v 5-7), the psalmist calls on the people of the world to worship Him: “Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him” (v 8).

When plans fail or people let us down, we can be tempted to be disappointed in God. However, we can rely on God’s trustworthiness because His plans “stand firm forever” (v 11) We can praise God, even when things go wrong because our loving Creator sustains everything and everyone. God is forever faithful.

Take a few moments and reflect on how you have experienced God’s character, creation, and love, and give Him praise for all His unfailing love. As the old gospel song says, “Count your many blessings, name them one by one, and it will surprise you what the Lord has done!”

Prayer: Dear God, please remind me of Your past faithfulness as I walk by faith today. In Jesus name. Amen.
