Introduction
As the famine becomes more severe, Joseph administers the distribution of grain. Jacob and his family remain in Egypt, and as Jacob approaches death, Joseph promises his father that he will bury Jacob with his ancestors.
Scripture Reading

Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 47:27
The Israelites lived in Egypt in the region of Goshen, where they became rich and had many children.
Reflect
Twice the people come to Joseph, begging him to “do something” (verses 15, 19). What actions does Joseph take to ensure that the people continue to receive food? What measures are in place in your community to provide for those in need of food?
Pray
Gracious God, keep me close to you. Under your watchful eye, I am in your loving care, and you provide for my daily needs. Open my eyes and heart to those around me who are hurting and in need. As you have blessed me, may I be a channel of your blessings to someone today? Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
