Life and Death

Genesis 50:22-26

Death of Joseph

    So Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father's household. And Joseph lived one hundred and ten years. Joseph saw Ephraim's children to the third generation. The children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were also brought up on Joseph's knees.

   And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.” Then Joseph took an oath from the children of Israel, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.” So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

Thoughts

. Though our private desires are ever so confused, though our private requests are ever so broken, and though our private groanings are ever so hidden from men, yet God eyes them, records them, and puts them upon the file of heaven, and will one day crown them with glorious answers and returns. - Thomas Brooks

Psalm 148:1-6

Praise to the Lord from Creation
   Praise the Lord!
 Praise the Lord from the heavens;
 Praise Him in the heights!
  Praise Him, all His angels;
 Praise Him, all His hosts!
  Praise Him, sun and moon;
 Praise Him, all you stars of light!

  Praise Him, you heavens of heavens,
 And you waters above the heavens!
  Let them praise the name of the Lord,
 For He commanded and they were created.
  He also established them forever and ever;
 He made a decree which shall not pass away.
