HEAR Journaling - Genesis 50

Highlight – Genesis 50:12-13 New Living Translation

Jacob’s Last Words to His Sons

12 So Jacob’s sons did as he had commanded them. 13 They carried his body to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave in the field of Machpelah, near Mamre. This is the cave that Abraham had bought as a permanent burial site from Ephron the Hittite.
            

Explain – Joseph, ever faithful, followed Jacob’s request.  He had Jacob’s body embalmed and then had his sons take and place Jacob’s body in the tomb where Abraham, Isaac, Sarah, Rebecca, and Leah lie.  This is the cave that Abraham had purchased from Ephron the Hittite, today called the Cave of the Patriarchs in the city of Hebron.  This is near the place where Abraham entertained the three visitors that brought the promise of his son, Isaac.

Apply – God is ever faithful.  He has prepared a place for each of us.  Each of us needs to accept Him as Savior and Lord so that our sin will be wiped away, then we can be with Him always, through eternity.

Isaiah 40:28 ESV Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.

Hebrews 13:8 ESV Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

John 1:1 ESV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 16:26 ESV But has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith—

Romans 6:23 ESV For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 14:1-2 ESV 1“Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;[a] believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

Respond - Lord, I am so glad that I am part of the family of God, washed clean by Your blood, to a newness of life.  I strive to seek You and abide in You as You abide in me.  I look forward to the life that I share with You through eternity.  I pray for anyone that does not yet know You as Lord. Savior and Friend.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 49

Highlight – Genesis 49:8-10 New Living Translation

Jacob’s Last Words to His Sons

8 ”Judah, your brothers will praise you. You will grasp your enemies by the neck.
    All your relatives will bow before you.
9 Judah, my son, is a young lion that has finished eating its prey.
Like a lion he crouches and lies down; like a lioness—who dares to rouse him?
10 The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from his descendants,[a]
until the coming of the one to whom it belongs,[b] the one whom all nations will honor.
            

Explain – Jacob’s last words to his son Judah. Jacob foretells of the birth of the Messiah, that He will come from the lineage of Judah.  Judah’s descendants are the Tribe of the Lion of Judah, Jesus Christ’s birth descended from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Judah.  Jesus is the Messiah that came that all wise people would be made free of the bondage of sin, that all the nations have and will honor Him.

Apply – We are blessed to have the opportunity to accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.  He came as a man to personally bring His message of love and His sacrifice makes it possible for each of us to accept Him as Lord and Savior to live with Him and in Him through eternity.

Matthew 1:3, 16 ESV 3And Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, … 16 and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

Hebrews 7:14 ESV For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, and in connection with that tribe Moses said nothing about priests.

John 1:29 ESV The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Revelation 5:5 ESV And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Revelation 7:17 ESV For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Ephesians 4:11-15 ESV And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,

Respond - Lord, I am so glad that I am part of the family of God, washed clean by Your blood, to a newness of life.  I strive to seek You and abide in You as You abide in me.  I look forward to the life that I share with You through eternity.  I pray for anyone that does not yet know You as Lord. Savior and Friend.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 48

Highlight – Genesis 48:3-6 New Living Translation

Jacob Blesses Manasseh and Ephraim

3 Jacob said to Joseph, “God Almighty[b] appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me. 4 He said to me, ‘I will make you fruitful, and I will multiply your descendants. I will make you a multitude of nations. And I will give this land of Canaan to your descendants[c] after you as an everlasting possession.’ 5 “Now I am claiming as my own sons these two boys of yours, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born here in the land of Egypt before I arrived. They will be my sons, just as Reuben and Simeon are. 6 But any children born to you in the future will be your own, and they will inherit land within the territories of their brothers Ephraim and Manasseh.

Explain – Jacob explained that God has a plan for his descendants, the people of Israel.  They have been given the land of Canaan.  He also accepted Joseph’s two sons into the family, Ephraim and Manasseh and blessed them as they were to become great nations as well.

Apply – When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we too are adopted into His family, and likewise receive all of His promises.

Ephesians 3:6 ESV This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

Ephesians 1:5 ESV He predestined us for adoption to himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will,

John 1:12-13 ESV But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

1 John 3:1-2 ESV See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

Ephesians 2:19-22 ESV So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Romans 8:15 ESV For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

Ephesians 2:11-13 ESV

John 3:16-17 ESV

Respond - Lord, I am so glad that I am part of the family of God, washed clean by Your blood, to a newness of life.  I strive to seek You and abide in You as You abide in me.  I look forward to the life that I share with You through eternity.  I pray for anyone that does not yet know You as Lord. Savior and Friend.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 47

Highlight – Genesis 47:20-22 New Living Translation

Joseph’s Leadership in the Famine

20 So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. All the Egyptians sold him their fields because the famine was so severe, and soon all the land belonged to Pharaoh. 21 As for the people, he made them all slaves,[a] from one end of Egypt to the other. 22 The only land he did not buy was the land belonging to the priests. They received an allotment of food directly from Pharaoh, so they didn’t need to sell their land.

Explain – God’s plan for the nation of Israel was coming together.  The people became slaves of Egypt not because they were conquered, but because they willingly gave themselves to be slaves due to the famine and the only resource was Egypt.  Remember the only reason Egypt had sufficient grain is because God gave Joseph the instructions to make the provisions.

Apply – There is a famine in our land today too, a spiritual famine of faith in God.  God has made a provision for us just as He made a provision for Israel in their famine.  Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  All that come to Him are saved and are in-dwelt with the Holy Spirit so that we can not only survive the spiritual famine, but we are a new creation who is privileged to live with our Lord each day through eternity.

John 14:6 ESV Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

John 3:16 ESV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

Romans 6:23 ESV For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Galatians 2:20 ESV I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

John 5:24 ESV Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

John 11:25 ESV Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,

2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

John 8:12 ESV Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

1 John 1:9 ESV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Philippians 4:13 ESV

Romans 12:2 ESV

Romans 8:10 ESV

Respond - Lord, thank You for this exciting life that I share with You and in You.  Help me guard my heart from anything that will come between us, Lord.  Help me to hear You clearly and to act obediently at the right time according to Your will.  I strive to seek You and abide in You as You abide in me.  I pray for anyone that does not yet know You as Lord. Savior and Friend.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 46

Highlight – Genesis 46:1-7 New Living Translation

Jacob’s Journey to Egypt

46 So Jacob[a] set out for Egypt with all his possessions. And when he came to Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father, Isaac. 2 During the night God spoke to him in a vision. “Jacob! Jacob!” he called.

“Here I am,” Jacob replied.

3 “I am God,[b] the God of your father,” the voice said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for there I will make your family into a great nation. 4 I will go with you down to Egypt, and I will bring you back again. You will die in Egypt, but Joseph will be with you to close your eyes.”

5 So Jacob left Beersheba, and his sons took him to Egypt. They carried him and their little ones and their wives in the wagons Pharaoh had provided for them. 6 They also took all their livestock and all the personal belongings they had acquired in the land of Canaan. So Jacob and his entire family went to Egypt— 7 sons and grandsons, daughters and granddaughters—all his descendants.

Explain – God came to Jacob in a dream to comfort him in traveling to Egypt.  Jacob responded by doing precisely what God commanded, Joseph moved his entire family totally and completely to Egypt.  God explained that He had a marvelous plan for all of Jacob’s descendants.  God had changed Jacob’s name to Israel in Chapter 32:27-28, but here God called him Jacob.

Apply - God can speak directly to us in many ways.  He will communicate with us in a way that we can best receive the message that He provides. If we will seek Him often, we can maintain this wonderful relationship with Him, so when He has an important message for us, we will be available to receive it and do what He would have us do.  We do not want to miss God’s message because we were distracted.

John 14:15 ESV “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

Acts 5:29 ESV But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.

1 Peter 1:14 ESV As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

Luke 6:46 ESV “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?

Luke 11:28 ESV But he said, “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!”

John 14:23 ESV Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

John 14:31 ESV But I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

James 1:22-25 ESV

Romans 5:19 ESV

Jeremiah 7:23 ESV

1 John 3:24 ESV 

Respond - Lord, thank You for this exciting life that I share with You and in You.  Help me guard my heart from anything that will come between us, Lord.  Help me to hear You clearly and to act obediently at the right time according to Your will.  I strive to seek You and abide in You as You abide in me.  I pray for anyone that does not yet know You as Lord. Savior and Friend.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 45

Highlight – Genesis 45:26-28 New Living Translation

26 “Joseph is still alive!” they told him. “And he is governor of all the land of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he couldn’t believe it. 27 But when they repeated to Jacob everything Joseph had told them, and when he saw the wagons Joseph had sent to carry him, their father’s spirits revived. 28 Then Jacob exclaimed, “It must be true! My son Joseph is alive! I must go and see him before I die.”

Explain – Jacob was surprised to hear the fantastic news that Joseph was alive, that he had become the 2nd ruler in Egypt, and that he had a place for them all to live with all the food they needed through the famine.  Such wonderful news indeed!

Apply – We too wander through life sad and dejected, weighed down by our sin and shame in a famine of separation from the love of God.  But we too have fantastic news!  The Good News of Jesus Christ.  He died for our sins, rose again to restore us with Him in heaven.  His sacrifice wiped away our sins and made a way of restoration for us with Him. 

Romans 5:8 ESV But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.

1 John 1:9 ESV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse 

us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:7 ESV But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

John 1:14 ESV And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Hebrews 10:22 ESV Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Titus 3:5 ESV He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,

Matthew 6:33 ESV But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Respond - How marvelous to know You as Lord and Savior, my Lord.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is such wonderful news indeed.  I pray for those that do not yet know You Lord, may they seek and find You.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 43

Highlight – Genesis 43:16-18 New Living Translation

16 When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the manager of his household, “These men will eat with me this noon. Take them inside the palace. Then go slaughter an animal, and prepare a big feast.” 17 So the man did as Joseph told him and took them into Joseph’s palace.

18 The brothers were terrified when they saw that they were being taken into Joseph’s house. “It’s because of the money someone put in our sacks last time we were here,” they said. “He plans to pretend that we stole it. Then he will seize us, make us slaves, and take our donkeys.”

Explain - The brothers had their sin of Joseph on their mind.  After all the years they were still worried that God would make a way to punish them for their past sin.  They could not see that there was soon to be a blessing beyond anything they could imagine.

Apply - Unrepented sin is a burden to carry.  There is no need to carry it as Jesus is waiting on us to confess our sin and accept His forgiveness.  Through the in-dwelling Holy Spirit we can live a fully righteous life free from the bondage of sin and separation from God.  We can abide in Him as He abides in us, making us a new creation, free from the bondage of sin and shame.

John 8:34-36 ESV Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.

Romans 6:18 ESV And, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.

Psalm 103:12 ESV 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

Romans 6:14 ESV For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 6:6 ESV We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

Romans 6:22 ESV But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the fruit you get leads to sanctification and its end, eternal life.

Romans 6:16 ESV Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

1 John 1:9 ESV If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

2 Corinthians 3:17 ESV Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.

Respond – Lord, thank You for setting me free of my past sins and making it possible to live a righteous life through You, Holy Spirit.  I am free of the bondage of sin and strive to abide in You and with You, following You faithfully and obediently forever.  I pray for those that are in bondage to sin that they will yield to Your persistent draw to make them free.  Amen.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 42

Highlight – Genesis 42:23-29  New Living Translation

Joseph’s Brothers Go to Egypt

23 Of course, they didn’t know that Joseph understood them, for he had been speaking to them through an interpreter. 24 Now he turned away from them and began to weep. When he regained his composure, he spoke to them again. Then he chose Simeon from among them and had him tied up right before their eyes.

25 Joseph then ordered his servants to fill the men’s sacks with grain, but he also gave secret instructions to return each brother’s payment at the top of his sack. He also gave them supplies for their journey home. 26 So the brothers loaded their donkeys with the grain and headed for home. 29 When the brothers came to their father, Jacob, in the land of Canaan, they told him everything that had happened to them. 

Explain – The story of Joseph continues from chapter 41 with Joseph the 2nd ruler in all of Egypt.  Famine has brought his brothers to Egypt seeking some grain.  Joseph does not yet reveal who he is, but they do believe their sin against their brother has fallen on them.  Joseph sends them to bring back Benjamin and Jacob.

Apply – Joseph’s life is an example to us all to be faithful and obedient to the Lord despite any circumstance, no matter how bad things may appear or how long things are taking from our perspective.  We must live a Spirit controlled life no matter what our position in life may be.

Proverbs 22:4 ESV The reward for humility and fear of the Lord is riches and honor and life.

Proverbs 11:2 ESV When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

James 4:10 ESV Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

Colossians 3:12 ESV Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

1 Peter 5:6 ESV Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,

Philippians 2:3 ESV Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

HEAR Journaling - Genesis 41

Highlight – Genesis 41:41-46 New Living Translation

Joseph Made Ruler of Egypt

41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt.” 42 Then Pharaoh removed his signet ring from his hand and placed it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in fine linen clothing and hung a gold chain around his neck. 43 Then he had Joseph ride in the chariot reserved for his second-in-command. And wherever Joseph went, the command was shouted, “Kneel down!” So Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of all Egypt. 44 And Pharaoh said to him, “I am Pharaoh, but no one will lift a hand or foot in the entire land of Egypt without your approval.” 45 Then Pharaoh gave Joseph a new Egyptian name, Zaphenath-paneah.[a] He also gave him a wife, whose name was Asenath. She was the daughter of Potiphera, the priest of On.[b] So Joseph took charge of the entire land of Egypt. 46 He was thirty years old when he began serving in the court of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. And when Joseph left Pharaoh’s presence, he inspected the entire land of Egypt.

Explain – The story of Joseph continues from chapter 40 with Joseph still in prison, but through his spiritual gift of dream interpretation Joseph is made 2nd ruler in all of Egypt!

Apply – Joseph’s life is an example to us all to be faithful and obedient to the Lord despite any circumstance, no matter how bad things may appear or how long things are taking from our perspective.  God is always faithful and will bless those that are obediently faithful with Him.

John 14:15 ESV “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.

1 Samuel 15:22 ESV And Samuel said, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams.

James 1:22 ESV But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

Isaiah 1:19 ESV If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land;

Luke 6:46 ESV “Why do you call me ‘Lord, Lord,’ and not do what I tell you?

John 14:23 ESV Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

Romans 6:16 ESV Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Respond – Lord, thank You for Your salvation and the awesome life that I share with You.  I seek to remain obedient and faithful in and with You despite any circumstances.  I pray for those that do not know You, may they come to a saving knowledge and new life in You, Amen.
