Daily Bible Reading, August 2022: God’s Renewing Word of Mercy and ForgivenessНамуна

August 19
Introduction
The famine was widespread and extended to Canaan. Jacob sends his sons, except Benjamin, to Egypt to buy grain. When they arrive, Joseph recognizes them but pretends not to know them. He accuses them of being spies and agrees to spare their lives if they return with their youngest brother.
Scripture Reading
Genesis 42:1-24
Today’s Key Verse: Genesis 42:6a
Joseph, as governor of the land of Egypt, was selling grain to people from all over the world.
Reflect
What reason does Joseph give for wanting to test his brothers? Reread verses 21 and 22. To what do the brothers attribute their suffering? Do our actions today have consequences for the future? Explain.
Pray
Dear God, there are times when I may not know or be aware of how you are at work in my life. Grant me patience and strengthen my faith, trusting that you guide me. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Genesis 42:25-38: Joseph’s brothers return to Canaan.
Scripture
