Genesis 46: 1-34; Jacob Goes to Egypt

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.

In the beginning it seemed like such a good idea, going into Egypt. Jacob and company were looking forward to the prospect of going down to a place where they would a lot of food and everything else. In the end it turned out to be a bad idea. What happened exactly? There is a song I like that talks about how sometimes we need to go through the valley before we stand upon the mountain of God. I think that may be going on with Israel here. They had to go into the valley, the pain and suffering, before they could stand on the mountain of God. That is debatable. What we do know for certain is that God was with Israel in Egypt. He was with them as they suffered, and he soon does deliver them. Praise God that he leads us out of the valley. God bless you,

Pastor Josh
