Continuing Genesis 50
When Joseph is 110 years old he dies, there in Egypt. He tells his brothers that he is about to die and that God will take care of them and take them back to the land of Canaan. He makes them swear that they will take his bones with them when they leave Egypt.
Joseph is the second to the youngest---but he dies before some of his older brothers. We don’t know the cause of Joseph’s death. Was it from the rich food he had eaten at Pharaoh’s home all those years? Who knows? Even during the famine they didn’t lack for anything. Others may have been hungry but they had plenty of grain and meat to eat. No famine for us. Be careful what you put into your body, physically and spiritually today.
Lord, thank you for the life of Joseph. Help us to live as dedicated to You as he was.
