ALL THE STARS IN THE UNIVERSE HAVE NAMES

GOD IS OMNISCIENT

"He counts all the stars within His hands,

carefully fixing their number and giving them names.  

Our Lord is great. Nothing is impossible with His overwhelming power.

 

He is loving, compassionate, and wise beyond all measure."  

Psalm 147:4-5 The Voice 

TABLE MANNERS

PRIDE BUSTERS 

"Now Jesus began telling a parable to the invited guests when He noticed how they had been selecting the places of honor at the table, saying to them,"    Luke 14:7 AMP

When you are invited to a special feast, don't sit in the place of honor.  The host may embarrass you, moving you to a lower place at the table.

“When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down [to eat] at the place of honor, since a more distinguished person than you may have been invited by the host, and he who invited both of you will come and say to you, ‘Give this man your place,’ and then, in disgrace you proceed to take the last place." Luke 14:8-9 AMP

It is better to be HUMBLE and sit at the table at the lowest place, and be moved up to a better seat later by the host.

"But when you are invited, go and sit down [to eat] at the last place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher’; and then you will be honored in the presence of all who are at the table with you."  Luke 14:10 AMP

God hates PRIDE!   If you exalt yourself, you will be humbled. But if you HUMBLE yourself, God will exalt you.

"For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled [before others], and he who habitually humbles himself (keeps a realistic self-view) will be exalted.”  

Luke 14:11 Amplified Bible (AMP)

At the LAST SUPPER, John sat on one side of Jesus and Judas Iscariot sat on the other side of him.  Is it possible Judas was exalting himself to sit in the place of honor?

MYSTERY MAN?

STRANGEST THINGS OF THE BIBLE

JOSEPHS BROTHERS WERE JEALOUS

 AFTER HEARING JOSEPHS TWO DREAMS

"And his brothers were jealous of him, but his

father kept the saying in mind."  Genesis 37:11  ESV

All of Joseph's brothers were sent out to work,

watching the sheep.

"Now his brothers went to pasture their father's

flock near Shechem."  Genesis 37:12  ESV

While Joseph the youngest, had an easy job of

 going out, to see if his brothers are doing well.

"And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.” So he said to him, “Go now, see if it is well with your brothers and with the flock, and bring me word.” So he sent him from the Valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem."  Genesis 37:13-15  ESV

When Joseph arrived at Shechem, the flock of sheep and his brothers were no where to be found.  A MYSTERY MAN approached Joseph.

"And a man found him wandering in the fields.  And the man asked him, “What are you seeking?” “I am seeking my brothers,” he said. “Tell me, please, where they are pasturing the flock.” And the man said, “They have gone away, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.’” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan."  Genesis 37:15-17  ESV

Why did his brothers go to Dothan, about 15 miles north/west of Shechem. 
Who is this mystery man who led Joseph to Dothan?

"They saw him from afar, and before he

 came near to them they conspired against him

 to kill him. They said to one another, “Here

 comes this dreamer.  

Genesis 37:11-18-19  ESV  (English Standard Version)

Had it not been for the MYSTERY MAN,

Joseph's destiny may have never

 changed.  

WHO IS THIS MYSTERY MAN?
