GENESIS

We just finished a 22 month study of the book of Genesis, of which I receive a fairly complete understanding of just how much God did at the very beginning!
One of the things that impressed me the most though, was found in Hebrews 11:23, where the author tells us that "by faith Joseph when he was dying , made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones." Now, why of all things would the author mention this out of all of Joseph's accomplishments?
Because Joseph remembered Abraham, and his own Father Jacob, (whom God later called Israel), and how they asked to have their bones carried to be buried in the promised land. They made their sons promise to bury them in the promise land, and even though Moses never got to go in, Joshua carried Joseph's bones in!
How cool is that?
Records for Joseph to learn from, and for us to treasure.
God's gift to us for everyday!
22 months in Genesis and I could do it all again!
