As brothers who are blinded – open their eyes!

by George Whitten, Editor of Worthy Devotions

Genesis 42:8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him.

2 Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

When Joseph became ruler over Egypt, his name was changed, and his identity was altered so that he no longer appeared or lived as a shepherd son of Israel from the land of Canaan, but as an Egyptian Prime Minister. The transformation was so thorough that when his ten brothers arrived in Egypt he was totally unrecognizable to them. This true story beautifully illustrates Mashiach ben Yosef (Yeshua/Jesus at His first coming), and contains a prophetic picture pointing to Yeshua and His Jewish people living today as we approach the Secon...

Daily Manna from the Net for Tuesday, September 4, 2012 [Matthew 5:43-48]

'You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. NIV Listen ...

Frasier’s New Wife Asked For A Sign Before Agreeing To Date Him

“But he answered and said to them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign.” (Matthew 12:39)

Recently, I was watching the Kelsey Grammer interview with Oprah on her new cable network – OWN. Grammer had just married again for the fourth time. His new wife, Kayte, twenty-five years his junior, joined him for part of the interview. They met while he was on flight from Los Angeles to London. She was a flight attendant and he was still married to his third wife, Camille. Grammer recounted that her smile and warm personality attracted him to her. He mustered the courage to ask her if they could trade phone numbers before deplaning.

It was Kayte who recounted how she reached a decision about seeing a married man. She clearly liked him and felt drawn to him, but had pause about seeing him since he was married. While on a double-decker bus on her way to her home from the airport, she asked for a sign for the right thing to do:...

Daily Manna from the Net for Sunday, September 2, 2012 [Matthew 11:7-10]

As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: 'What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written: '‘I will send my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' NIV Listen ...
