Love for One Another

Struggles with Love
Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) 

 

LOVE VERSUS GUILT

Genesis 42:26-28
New International Version

26, they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left.

27 At the place where they stopped for the night, one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack. 28 “My silver has been returned,” he said to his brothers. “Here it is in my sack.”

Their hearts sank, and they turned to each other trembling and said, “What is this that God has done to us? 

For Reflection

I don't know about you, but these passages raise a bit of a giggle. Thinking that they got away with murder, escaped the nasty Israeli hating governor, they discover what they believe is a booby trap. Too far away to return the silver, they continue home only to find even more silver, the brothers are filled with dread. They cry out, "God, what have you done to us? Guilt begins to devour them. 

Pray

Pray, read scriptures, read about scripture, talk with others about scripture, and know the will of God is always at the heart of our evolving history.
