Day 26

Derrick

Today we get into the story of Joseph one of my favorite stories in the Bible.
In Genesis 37 we see that Joseph was loved more than all his brothers, this can never be good for siblings to see that a brother is favored, while i know what is going to happen in the story of Joseph, im going to pretend that i dont for this...

We see Joseph put in a pit by his brother Rubens doing so they wouldnt kill Joseph and then his brother Judah had an idea to sell him into slavery to a caravan going by.

You have to wonder what is going through Josephs head. What was he thinking? My brothers hate me this much that they tried to kill me but end up selling me into slavery.

I felt different in my family, I felt alone. I felt unloved. As a result I turned away from everything I was taught as a kid. I ended up hating God and pushing him as far away as i could have...
i really cant wait to read this story again.

Kayla-
Rueben is the one in this story, in Genesis 37, that really stands out to me for some reason. Maybe because I too, would have tried to do the same thing, not necesarily being bold about freeing Joseph, but attempting it regardless. Or the fact that Rueben did go against the majority of his siblings (even though he wasn't the favorite and may have had somesort of material gain from it), that regardless of himself, he was looking out for Joseph.
