What did Jesus' miracles look like?Matthew previously summarized Jesus working miracles, but in chapter 8 begins to recount specific instances.

Psalm 106 praises God's covenant faithfulness, confesses Israel's unfaithfulness, and prays for national salvation and restoration.

Who sent Joseph to Egypt----When Joseph revealed himself to his brothers, the brothers were shocked and frightened. Would Joseph use his power to take revenge--

What about Benjamin----When the brothers are set up to betray Benjamin, they do not. Judah steps forward with a selfless act.

Psalm 105 calls Israel to praise God who keeps his covenant and will give them the land promised to their fathers.

What do you do when there's nothing else to do----Jacob delayed and tried to avoid the inevitable, but he had to concede.

What can we do----The famine in the land is severe and extensive, so Jacob and his sons must do something. That something is prompted by the news of grain in Egypt.

Psalm 104 praises the Creator who will be praised by all his creation.

Psalm 56 expresses trust in God who is greater than all enemies.

How does Joseph experience one of the most dramatic turnarounds in Scripture----He did it by faith and not seeking his own gain.
