Daily D – Galatians 3:26-28

Galatians 3:26-28 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. (NLT)

Popular television shows and movies like to talk about God and spiritual matters in vague generalities. Depictions of spiritual matters are either dumbed down to the point that anything goes, or religious people are portrayed as overzealous caricatures bent on legalistic righteousness. This is in sharp contrast to biblical faith.

Children of God are those who have a real and loving relationship with Jesus. He is the one and only way. (See John 14:6.)

When people choose to receive his gift of forgiveness for their sins and the promise of eternal life, they put on a new way of living shaped by grace. We become like Jesus. He lives in us and through us. A good question we seek to answer is What Would Jesus Do?

A better question is What would Jesus do if he were me? What if he lived where I live and had my family, my job, and my recreation? How would Jesus navigate the relationships and family matters that I deal with day by day? How would he do my job? How would he conduct himself in leisure activities? What would his vocabulary include and exclude?

What makes Jesus laugh? What grieves his heart?

These are good questions worth considering. The answers go a long way toward teaching us how to live with ourselves and others. They direct, and redirect, the choices we make and the habits of mind and behavior we cultivate.

I will pursue a deeper understanding of what it means to be a child of God.

Our Father, deliver us from the vague generalities and crass caricatures of media religion. Empower us instead with true faith that makes us more like Jesus. Build grace and kindness into our lives. Use us to build up others. Deliver us from belligerence. Amen.

Daily D – Genesis 46:1-4

Genesis 46:1-4 So Israel set out with all that was his, and when he reached Beersheba, he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

And God spoke to Israel in a vision at night and said, “Jacob! Jacob!”

“Here I am,” he replied.

“I am God, the God of your father,” he said. “Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there. I will go down to Egypt with you, and I will surely bring you back again. And Joseph’s own hand will close your eyes.”

Daily D – Genesis 45:4-8

Genesis 45:4-8 Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you. For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will be no plowing and reaping. But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.

“So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, Lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.”

Daily D – Genesis 41:1

Genesis 41:1 “When two full years had passed, Pharaoh had a dream: He was standing by the Nile,”

Daily D – Genesis 39:2-6

Genesis 39:2-6 Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. Potiphar, an Egyptian who was one of Pharaoh’s officials, the captain of the guard, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him there. The Lord was with Joseph so that he prospered, and he lived in the house of his Egyptian master. When his master saw that the Lord was with him and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did, Joseph found favor in his eyes and became his attendant. Potiphar put him in charge of his household, and he entrusted to his care everything he owned. From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the Lord blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the Lord was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field. So Potiphar left everything he had in Joseph’s care; with Joseph in charge, he did not concern himself with anything except the food he ate.

Daily D – Genesis 35:27-29

Genesis 35:27-29 Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed. Isaac lived a hundred and eighty years. Then he breathed his last and died and was gathered to his people, old and full of years. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.
