When God Whispers episodes

  • July 5 – Genesis 39:1-18

    The beginning of the scriptures

    reveals Joseph’s master saw the Lord in him. 
    How can we be a witness and shine our light for others to see us as
    Christians?

    The master’s wife was persistent in

    pursuing Joseph.  He resisted yet was
    accused of sleeping with her because of her manipulation.  Can you recall an instance where you did the
    right thing, yet dealt with persecution?

     Thank God for helping you through the

    situation or if you are still dealing with injustices, ask God to continue to
    protect you and show you the way.

    Judah judges Tamar and wants her

    killed when he hears of her pregnancy. 
    However, as he discovers the true series of events that have taken place
    he makes the comment, “She is more righteous than I, since I did not give her
    to my son Shelah.” 

    Do you think his words indicate a

    sense of shame and remorse?  Tamar was
    quite clever in asking for Judah’s staff, signet and cord to remain in her
    possession.  It served her well in this
    situation and she lived to bear twin sons.

  • July 3 – Genesis 38:1-19

    This passage of scripture is filled

    with more lies, deceit, and disobedience. 
    Judah’s motives of sending his 2nd and 3rd born
    sons to Tamar after Er’s, Judah’s 1st born, death was to continue
    the bloodline as God desired.  Then
    Judah’s fear of losing another son, led to his disobedience of not sending
    additional sons and telling Tamar to return to her father’s house as a
    widow. 

    The passage becomes even more

    twisted as both Judah and Tamar lie and deceive ultimately resulting in Tamar’s
    conception of Judah’s child. 

    What were the events that led to

    this distorted situation being revealed? 

    What are your thoughts regarding this

    passage? 

    Have you ever found yourself in a

    situation where lies or deceit entangled you or someone you love? 

    Take time to fervently pray for

    circumstances where you, a friend or loved one, seem trapped in lies and
    deceit.

  • July 2 Genesis 37:29-36

    Rueben shows remorse when he returns

    to find Joseph gone.  Scripture says he
    tore his clothes and asked where to go. 

    What do you think is going through

    Rueben’s mind?

    What we think as the smallest of sin

    is still sin.  God does not grade sin.  Here we see one lie lead to more.  Have you ever found yourself in a similar
    situation until everything unraveled? 

    Admitting our sin and asking for

    forgiveness is not only freeing, but also right in God’s eyes. 

    Take time to pray regarding

    situations you may have where sinned gripped you and left you frozen.  God is anxious to hear from you.

  • July 1 Genesis 37:12-28

    In these scriptures we see deception

    beyond belief.  Sin can grip humans and
    cause unbelievable evil. 

    Even though family dynamics can be

    interesting, what would possess Joseph’s brothers to go to such extremes as in
    these scriptures? 

    Have you dealt with manipulation,

    favoritism, jealousy or even inheritance issues within your family? If so, pray
    that God will release you so you can move forward in peace, understanding and
    love. 

    Pray for families that are dealing

    with sinful situations of deception and strife.

  • June 30 Genesis 37:1-11
    This is a prime example of “telling everything
    you know, isn’t always wise.”  Joseph
    told his family about his dream and although we know it will come true, that
    his brothers would someday bow down to him, they sure didn’t want to hear it from
    him and or even think about it since he was just a teenager at the time of the
    dream.
    They were jealous of his relationship with his
    father and that his father loved him and his mother more than he loved them and
    their mothers.  But even without that
    dynamic, family relationships are always being tested and put through the fire.
    Think about some of your family relationships.  Have you ever done or said anything that
    maybe should have been left alone?  I know
    I sure have, but my mouth opened, and words fell out that I immediately regretted,
    but it was too late.  Family is sometimes
    the quickest to forgive, but they are also the quickest to demand an apology or
    sometimes retribution.  Family is
    difficult.  Let’s face it, relationships
    in general are difficult, but we can seek God’s guidance to help us stay out of
    trouble, or mend fences once we find ourselves in a difficult situation with
    someone we care about.  Pray today that
    God would guide you to mend some fences today.

  • June 29 Genesis 36:1-43

    We see here the generations of Esau, who became

    the Edomites.  We also see that Esau and
    Jacob both had so much wealth in the form of livestock and servants that they
    couldn’t dwell close together and both be able to feed and care for their
    livestock well.

    I have to admit when I read this the first time

    it was just a list of names I struggle to pronounce, but when I reread the
    verses I saw that wealth kept this family apart. 

    How often do you think wealth comes between family

    members?  Either jealousy of what another
    has, or fear someone will try to take what you have, or maybe just trying to
    keep up with one another.  It is so sad
    that something so unimportant  and
    temporary can come between people.  I’ve seen
    it myself with family members conniving to get the best or be the first to get
    their minerals sold so they don’t have to share the “pool” with the rest of the
    family members that have a right to those minerals.  It isn’t money that is the problem
    though.  It is our attitude about
    money.  The LOVE of money is the root of
    all evil, not money itself. 

    Have you ever allowed money to become so

    important that it caused a problem with relationships in your life?  Is there someone you need to forgive or ask
    forgiveness from?

  • June 28 Genesis 35:16-29

    Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin.  Isaac has died. Jacob, or now Israel as God

    has renamed him, has 12 sons and a daughter and traveling.  Talk about a hard life. 

    When have you felt like life wasn’t treating

    you fairly?

    Were you able to look back later and see God at

    work?

    What helps you through those times when you

    feel alone with all your problems?

  • June 27 Genesis 35:1-15

    We see God gave protection to Jacob by keeping

    his enemies from pursuing him and his sons. 
    God is always there protecting us, but there are times we don’t even realize
    He has reached out and held our enemies back.

    When have you felt God’s protection in a miraculous

    way?

    Why do you think God allowed Jacob’s sons to

    get away with plundering the entire city and not just punishing the ones who violated
    Dinah and worked to cover it up?

  • June 25 Genesis 34:1-18

    What a horrible thing happened to Dinah.  At first glance it looks as if the brothers

    aren’t treating it with the gravity they should but wait…they have a plan.  They learned from their father Jacob and will
    handle these people.

    When something bad happens, we have a tendency

    to blame God or sometimes the one the bad thing happened to.  Jesus tells us we will have trouble, but He
    reminds us that He has overcome the world and we would never be alone.  He would always be with us. 

    How does that change your view of when bad

    things happen?
