Genesis 42NKJ... PTSS


I learned so much in chapter 41 but 42 gave me some wow moments. Jacob once again shows fear of losing a son and not trusting in God. Instead he sent all his other sons and kept Benjamin. Verse 4But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some calamity befall him.”

Since God has shown me over the years the Bible is about One story it is always a great moment when we see the future in the past. Verse 13 And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”

Jacob shows that PTSS is nothing new , in verse 38 But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”

Jesus reminds us that worry Jacob had, we are to not have. Matthew 6:25-34
