In tonight’s readings, we conclude the Book of Genesis and begin the Book of Exodus. In Genesis chapters 49 and 50, Jacob blesses his sons and prophesies over the twelve tribes of Israel before peacefully passing away. Joseph’s faith shines as he forgives his brothers once more, assuring them that though their intentions were for harm, God meant it for good.
As we enter Exodus chapters 1 through 6, a new generation of Israelites arises in Egypt. They multiply greatly, but soon face oppression under Pharaoh. In the midst of their suffering, God raises up Moses, preserving him from danger and calling him to deliver His people. Through the burning bush, God reveals His name—“I AM THAT I AM”—and assures Moses that He will be with him.
These chapters remind us that even when God’s promises seem distant, His plan is always unfolding. The same God who guided Jacob and Joseph and called Moses to freedom still works powerfully in our lives today.
Highlighted Verses:

• Genesis 50:20 — “But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.”
• Exodus 2:24 — “And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.”
• Exodus 3:14 — “And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM.”
• Exodus 4:12 — “Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.”
• Exodus 6:7 — “And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God.”

As you drift into rest, let these timeless words remind you that God never forgets His promises and His presence is with you always.
