Pastor David went over the importance of wisdom and how to attain it through the acronym CAST.

Gods wisdom is worthy of being called treasure for many reasons, one being that it will bring you wealth. You'll also be wise and have an enduring life in God. How to attain wisdom though?

Pastor David gives us an acronym that explains the steps to earn wisdom. CAST means concentrate, ask, seek, and treasure. Concentrating on God's word will allow you to learn more about him and get you one step closer to attaining wisdom. Asking the Lord to guide you stands For A. Seeking his wisdom with energy as if you were looking for silver, and Treasuring Gods Commandments will allow you to attain wisdom.

Who wouldn't want wisdom? It brings many benefits to you and will allow to get closer to God. Always seek wisdom like hidden treasure, and follow CAST, and you will receive it.

Today Paator Chris goes over when and what to speak/do in our lives.

We must first ask ourselves what am I doing? After you find your answer, you must ask what can I do to change my attitude? There can be various answers to this, but you want to figure out a way that will help you commit no sin. Then, you must ask what you must be doing in order to speak life and commit no sin.

Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger is a very good verse where the Bible tells us what to do. We should always keep in mind not to talk too quick, but to only speak when we must, and when we do, that we will speak life and truth

Fear of how God views you should be greater than your fear of failure or missing out.

What is the point of success and living life as a rich man if you do not know God personally? God is the one who holds your salvation in hand, not the world. It is crucial to know that God is greater and higher and his approval will be worth everything in the world and infinitely more. If every Christian would grow up thinking about how God would view them and their lives as his followers, much more people would know God personally and be saved.

Just because you are a Christian doesn't mean you are saved. Believing is Christ and receiving God's approval and glorifying him through your life and knowing him will be what saves you in the end. I hope we can view God's view on us more valuable than the world and fear of our failures

The mission of home is to know God and make him known.

If your family doesn't know God, how will you make him known? Having knowledge of the word of God and believing in him and Christ will save you and your family.

Knowing that God has given you your salvation is the best feeling, you have been gifted eternal life. To spread the gift, you and your family must travel together and tell others about the Lord your God. The Bible says to be doers of the word and not hearers only, and thsi is the perfect way to achieve that.

Many people die everyday without knowing the name of Jesus. If every Christian family were to tell 1 person about God everyday, many more souls would enter heaven, and that is our mission- To help people know God and save them

Honoring your parents is the first commandment that has a promise, a promise of blessing.

The Bible says if you honor your father and mother, you will be able to live a long life, and everything will go well for you. Even if your parents aren't the most deserving, you should still honor them nonetheless.

Since God placed your parents in your life for a specific reason, you should honor them while you can, not only to receive the promised blessing, but to please God and build on the most essential and critical relationship you'll have as you grow up.

Your parents may not be the most understanding, or the most deserving at times, but honoring them anyway will bring great blessing unto you, and your life will be long
and extended.

All buildings need a strong foundation for it to stand. The firm foundation of our lives however is Jesus.

Without Jesus's teachings, we would be lost and without a purpose to live. A strong foundation, or Jesus, will support us through the wind and the storm, and will continue to hold firm as the dark closes in. We need Jesus and no other to be the firm foundation of our lives. God built the church and home so that we may be strong in him and continue to be supported

Christmas season is known to the world as a time to give gifts, but the community of Christians know the true meaning of Christmas.

We all say God is powerful and merciful, but he never seems near, despite everything we say. However, God proves how near he is by coming to us in human flesh.

He traded everything for the lowest, and was sent here to die for us to cleanse our sins eventually. God is always here, and we will know it forevermore, and celebrate Christmas for the true reason, that God has come to us.

This chapter talks about God's promised land and how he never stopped guiding his people.

It says God did not let them go alone, he guided them with a pillar of fire and cloud. He led the people away from war, and down south. The Israelites did not start to complain yet, and they were happy to be out of slavery. It would do them well to keep their grateful attitude, but unfortunately they can't. Being thankful and recognizing your blessings that were given to you for free is very important. Keeping good attitude and knowing God will guide you is important as well. God will surely be pleased if you obey his commandments, and with it comes more faith.

I pray to God that we can be able to keep a grateful attitude and that you will guide us through tough times. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and that winter break will serve us well

The 10th plague finally happens in these verses, and all the Egyptians first born are dead.

Pharaoh finally realizes it was a mistake to keep the Israelites, and hastens to let them leave his land. The egyptians also let them leave, for they say we will all be dead. They finally realize God's power, and fear him. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom, says the Proverbs of Solomon. The Pharaoh being too arrogant and selfish did not realize Gods power until it was too late for his country. Even his people complained to him that he was their problem, yet he still refused to let the Israelites go. Thinking of others first will serve us well in the end, and recognizing Gods power.

I pray that we can think of others and to recognize Gods pwper. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and that winter break will serve us well.

Moses and Aaron threaten a final plague to the egyptians.

God says the final plague will kill every firstborn in Egypt, and there would be a great outcry in all the land. But God will tell Moses how he will decipher the Israelites from the Egyptians, and soon the Passover will start. Nothing can be cleaned from this chapter however, being no major event we can learn something from. Being only a lead up Verse, I couldnt find anything new.

This chapter talks about the locusts and the darkness.

The Pharaoh still refuses to let the Israelites free. God brings a swarm of locusts that is said to be so big, no other locust swarm would be bigger. They ate everything green on Egypt, and all the plants died. The servants of pharaoh ask him how long Moses will be a snare to him, and why he cant see his country is in ruins. The Pharaoh is perseverant in wanting to keep the Israelites in egypt, but he picked the wrong side. Perseverance is a good thing, only if we are persistent in things that are good.

I pray to God that we can be able to be perseverant in good things, and that we will not be selfish like the Pharaoh. I pray that 2020 will end well and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

This chapter talks about the 5th, 6th, and 7th plagues.

Even after his people suffer the plagues sent by God and the Israelites are chilling, the Pharoah's heart is still reluctant to release the Israelites, which is pretty stupid, considering it's only his people who are suffering. Being selfish brings harm upon yourself and others, and it would be good to think of others, since not only the Bible emphasizes this multiple times, it is an action that Chrisitians must do to reflect God in their lives.

I pray that we can think of others before ourselves, and to not be selfish as this ancient egyptian pharaoh. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and winter break will be here soon

S: Exodus 8 (I love the plagues stories. It's my favorite :D)

O: The pharaoh will not let the Israelites go. So God tells Moses to send in another plague. The attack of the frogs (scary XD). This is what God commanded Moses to do: “Go back to Pharaoh and announce to him, ‘This is what the Lord says: Let my people go, so they can worship me. If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs across your entire land. The Nile River will swarm with frogs. They will come up out of the river and into your palace, even into your bedroom and onto your bed! They will enter the houses of your officials and your people. They will even jump into your ovens and your kneading bowls. Frogs will jump on you, your people, and all your officials.’” This might have sounded very annoying, but it effectively worked. However, the Pharaoh declined the fact to release his "slaves".

A: Because the Pharaoh did not make wise decisions, he let his entire kingdom become overcome with frogs (how sad :( )

P: I pray for those who have covid-19. Please let them heal.

This chapter talks about the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th plagues of Egypt.

God sends plague after plague, yet the Pharaoh is not convinced that he should let them go. Pharaoh decides he had enough of the flies, and asks the Israelites that they should worship God here. The pharaohs heart hardened, and did not let them go. When someone has enough, you'd think they'd let the source of the plagues go. But the Pharaoh being an idiot, did not. Enough is enough, and it would be wise of us to know when enough is enough.

I pray to God that we can be able to know when enough is enough, and that we can do good for the last week of school. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and we can become wiser reading the Proverbs

Peace from Jesus comes from leaving everything with God, and it is something the world cannot give.

The pressure we receive from lives will make it hard not to worry and have peace, but God can give us peace.

We forget to count our blessings and we worry about everything that happens in our lives. One can be blessed but may not have peace, which is far more important. Prayer and The Word of God will help us have peace.

Pastor David went over a lot of things, but the part that will probably stand out to most of us is the part not to worry. How can we do that when our responsibilities are looming over us? How do we fill our head with Gods word when we worry so much? Try still and God will grant you peace through difficult times.

I pray that we can have peace by not worrying and giving everything up to God. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and that we will be able to find peace more often.

When Moses complains to God about their situation, the Lord explains himself, and remembers his promise with Abraham.

The Pharaoh has made the Israelites Job harder. Moses knows this is because he spoke to the Pharaoh, and says to God what he has done. God says he will bring the Israelites to freedom, and that he will lead Moses and Aaron. It's been the same message over and over again on the Qts, but to be truthful, there really isnt anything else that I can derive from these verses. The main sequence of actions haven't happened yet, and thus I have to go with the old message, that God is with you and will continue to be so.

Moses and Aaron speak to the Pharaoh.

When the 2 brothers speak to the Pharaoh, it is a new one that does not know about Joseph (Obviously it's a new one because it's been several years) He asks Moses why he should let the Israelites go, and make their slave work even harder. Moses complains to God. What Moses doesnt know, however, is that God will strike the Pharaoh and the Egyptians with his wrath. Never think small with God, and believe one failure is the end. God will continue to help you and will always be there until you succeed, and will use you in big ways.

Moses grows up, and became a shepherd. He comes across a burning Bush, and God talks to him. The Lord says he will free the Israelites from Egypt.

Moses is spared by the princess of Egypt after he is found floating down the river in a basket. Many years later, he kills an Egyptian and flees to Midian. He then finds a wife to a midianite priest, and gets a son. Meanwhile back in Egypt, the Israelites are still slaves, and are crying out to God, and the Bible says he hears them. God will never leave you, no matter how hard it gets, and will always be there to support you.

Exodus 1 stars speaking about the oppression of the Israelites in Egypt, and how he says to kill every son that is born to them.

The current Pharaoh did not know of Josephs deeds to help save Egypt. As he saw the Israelites were quickly increasing in population, he feared a revolt and made them slaves. He saw the Hebrews were still multiplying, and ordered every boy to be killed. While Pharaoh tried to oppress the Israelites, what happened was they began to grow even quicker, and soon after Moses there would be plaques among the Egyptians. Every bad deed will come back one day, so be kind to others and learn your history well since the Pharaohs failing was not recognizing Joseph.

I pray to God that we can be polite to one another and be faithful to your word. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and that the week will go by quickly.

Blessing is something we have all been given by God, and will continue to receive more as we grow in faith.

Blessing is something we always want more of, but what we dont realize is that we have plenty of it. We have technology, a home, and domt have to worry about where our next meal will come from. All of these are blessings we take for granted.

God blessing is something much better than anything we can have. Through his blessings we will become wiser and become prosperous in everything we do.

Blessings are something that God has given to us and blessings are something that helps us be closer to God. The more we have of it, the more we will be able to walk away from the evil of this world.

God will make us prosperous and he will help us become closer to him after every single blessing he gives us. Through these blessings, we must come closer to God and farther away from the sins and temptations of the world.

These blessings should be something that we want to give to others as well. If we tell others about the blessings that God can give us and others believe, then they too will be able to be blessed by God.

Genesis chapter 49 verse 25:"because of your father’s God, who helps you because of the Almighty,[m] who blesses yo
with blessings of the skies above, blessings of the deep springs below, blessings of the breast and womb."

God will help you because  he is above us all and he is the most powerful and without him we are nothing.

We must trust in the power of our God to deliever us from what ever hardships we have in our lives. We must believe that God will help us go through all the troubles in our loves and that he will help us be safe

I pray that we would rely on God before anyother thing in our lives and that we would put our trust in him.

This verse talks about Israel blessing his sons and his burial

There isn't much to say about this chapter because its Israel blessing his sons in many different ways. However, he doesnt give his blessing to his first born or favorite son, but to all his sons. I guess he learned from personally experience what happens when only one son gets a blessing. I dont get what to make out of this specific chapter, so I just decided to go read Proverbs for a while. I'm sorry for making this such a pow quality QT, but I really couldn't think about anything to apply in our lives.

I pray to God that I can be able to think of things to apply to our lives from "hard" chapters. I pray that the weekend will serve as a refreshing break, and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

This chapter talks about Israel blessing Joseph's sons, Munessah and Ephraim

When he hears Israel falls ill, Joseph immediately goes to his father with his sons at his side. Israel blesses them, but he has given the first borns blessing to Ephraim, who was the second child. This displeased Joseph, and but Israel said he would grow to be greater than his brother. I couldnt any big takeaway from this chapter or any part of it. This chapter is more like a Bible storyline connecting chapter. Sadly I couldn't do anything about this chapter, but I will read my Proverbs during december.

I pray to God that I'll be able to read Proverbs and do my QT with thoughtfulness. I pray that this semester will end well and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

In these verses, Joseph takes care of the people using wisdom.

The 7 year famine is still going on, and the people have ran out of money to pay for the food. Joseph asks for their livestock, and for a year it was fine. When they finally ran out of everything, Joseph bought everyone's land for the Pharaoh, and said they could plant on it, but they had to give 1/5 of their harvest to Pharaoh. The people liked this, amd they were able to make it through the famine. Joseph using smarts and wisdom to take care his problems is something we should be able to do. God gives us wisdom if we seek for it, and it will help us become wiser and better people.

I pray to God that we can be able to find and use wisdom in our lives. I pray that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over and that reading Proverbs will help us become wiser.

Genesis chapter 47 verse 27:"27 Now the Israelites settled in Egypt in the region of Goshen. They acquired property there and were fruitful and increased greatly in number."

God had promised Jacob that if his family would go to Egypt, God will make him into a great nation there at Egypt and in this verse, you can already see that they became fruitful. God had fulfilled his promise to Jacob.

We must tell others about the power of our God and the many things he can do for us. Those who do not know God and truly love him will not be able to have eternal life with God and instead have to be sent to hell. Therefore, we must tell others about Christ and spread his good name so that others may be saved.

I pray that we would trust in the Lord and give him all the glory so that others may believe in him.

Genesis chapter 34 verse 3:"3 “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."

God will protect us from all harm that may come to us. God protected Joseph and said that it was okay for him to go to Egypt and that there was nothing for him to be afraid of.

God will protect us from all harm. He is the one safe refuge that we can rely on. We can trust him throughout our entire lives and he will protect us from anything that may stand in our way. With God, we will be able to do all things and we can trust in him to help us whenever we need him.

Scripture: Genesis 34
Observation: Dinah was the daughter of Leah and Jacob and one day, she went out to see the women of the land and when Shechem, son of of Hamor the Hivite, he fell in love with her and he went to his father and told him about her, Hamor then went to Jacob and they discussed about arranging a marriage between Dinah and Shechem and Hamor also agreed that if he gave his daughters to Jacob then he would give them his daughters, but, Jacob’s sons did not like this so they deceived Hamor and told him today if all the males in their city would have to be circumcised, then, later, Jacob’s sons went into the city with swords and killed all the men, including Hamor and Shechem.
Application: I can apply this to my life by always trusting in God and serving him more.

These verses talk about the reuniting of Jacob and Joseph

After Jacob learns that Joseph is alive and well in Egypt, he quickly makes it over there with his entire family and livestock. He is incredibly happy to see Joseph again, happy enough that he is now ok to die because he has seen Joseph once more. Things that set in motion plans we dont like sometimes separate us from our loved ones, not physically, but more mentally and spiritually in this world. Its "you will never forget your loved ones" again but I personally think it's true and important to remember.

I pray to God that we can be able to support each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that winter break will come soon, and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

Genesis chapter 45 verse 7:"7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance."

Joseph tells his brothers that his brothers selling him to Egypt was a good thing because they were able to prevent against the famine and save his brother's lives.

Every things God has done has yielded good things. God had sent Joseph to Egypt which may have seem like a bad thing, but he ended up saving enough food for the upcoming famine ahead. No matter what condition we are in, no matter how bad it seems, we can always trust in the Lord to bring us out of the misfortune and will help us.

I pray that we would depend on God before anything and that we would trust in him and that we would be able to be free of the Corona Virus soon.

Jospeh finally reveals himself to his brothers, and soon the entire family hears that he is alive and starts moving toward Egypt.

When Jospehs Brothers realize that he is alive, they were afraid and dismayed at his presence. But Joseph is happy, and tells that God sent him to Egypt to preserve and save lives. We all know and heard a million times that God has a purpose for everyone, but that us demonstrated most effienctly through Joseph's tale. He will use us in some way that benefits his kingdom, and no matter how hard life will be, it will all be worth it in the end.

I pray to God that we can be able to remember that he will use us for his kingdom. I pray that Winter break will come quickly, and that the Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

Observation: Jacob then saw Esau coming towards him with his four hundred men, Jacob was with his wives and children and he went ahead of them and bowed down seven times to his brother, but Esau ran to Jacob and embraced him, Esau asked Jacob who was with him and Jacob told him that it was his children, Esau also asked about all the things that were sent to him and he told Jacob that he didn’t need it but Jacob insisted.

These verses talk about Joseph's plot and how his brothers stand up for their father.

At first glance, Joseph's brothers seem like they dont care about their father much. However, when Joseph frames Benjamin guilty to have him with him, they say that their father will die of shame and stand up for one another. Everything we say and do will affect another individual, whether we like it or not. Thinking before you speak is quite useful because one slip of the tongue and bad things can happen. Let God guide you in his wisdom and become a better Christian by standing up for others and thinking about their feelings as well.

I pray to God that we can be able to care for one another's feelings more, and to think before we speak. I pray that we will be more devoted to you and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

Scripture: Genesis 32
Observation: Jacob continued on his way to meet Esau, he sent messengers to go to Esau and they were also given very specific instructions on what to say to Esau, when the messengers came back to Jacob, they told him that Esau was going out to meet him and that he had with him four hundred men, Jacob was worried so he prayed to God to help him, so then, Jacob prepared many gifts to give to Esau, Jacob then told some of his people to take the gifts to Esau and tell him that he would be coming soon, that night, Jacob was alone and a man came up to him and they wrestled until morning, the man told Jacob to let go because it was daybreak, but Jacob refused to let go until he was blessed by him, the man then asked Jacob what his name was and he then told Jacob that his name was now Israel and the man blessed him, the man that Jacob had wrestled was God.
Application: I can apply this to my life by trusting and relying on the Lord’s power just like Jacob had done in Genesis 32 and I can as well know that God will always be there for us.
Prayer: I pray that we may all be able to truly live our lives towards God and to reject the pleasures of this world and to instead focus on strengthening our faith in the Lord our God.

Scripture:Genesis 24
Observations:Abraham now wanted his son to no marry a woman from the local Canaanite woman,so he decides to send his oldest servant to go find his son a wife in Abraham's homeland.The servant does the process of putting his hand under Abraham's thigh and doing the process of promising that he will follow directions.When the servant gets there he prays to Lord for him to have great success for Abraham and his son depend on it.He prays about how if the woman does so and so then for her to let her be Issac's wife.The servant sees a woman named Rebekah who gives him a drink of water and to his camels.When the servant sees that God really did answer his prayer and that she even let him stay as a guest,he felt blessed by the Lord.A person named Laban let the servant in and all.In the home,the servant explains how he has came here.After the people of the home hearing the story,they agreed that Rebekah can become Issac's wife.The next morning,he gets ready to leave with Rebekah but has to get permission from Rebekah first until going.When they got to the place where Issac was,Issac loved Rebekah deeply.
Applications:I can apply this to my life by really believing that God does show his unfailing love and faithfulness in this world.Verse 26 explains the servant in joy after hearing the good news after he prayed to God.This clearly shows a sign of God being good all the time.I hope I can understand this and be able to believe in God that he can do anything through us believing that he is the Lord and that he has sent his son Jesus Christ to save us from our sins.

S: Genesis 43

O: In this chapter, we read about how Joseph's brothers are experiencing the 7 year famine and are out of food. They go to Egypt to buy more food, unaware the person they need to go to is actually Joseph, their own flesh and blood who they sold to traders for 20 pieces of silver.. Apparently, their father is worried about his sons, after one had "died" to the wild animal.

A: Even though the brothers think they got away with getting rid of Joseph, I hope they have a bit of regret and realizing how much pain they caused their father.

P: I pray that everyone is safe during quarantine.

Joseph's brothers had sold Joseph to Egypt and now they thought that what they were going through was because they had sold Joseph to Egypt.

We must try to sin no matter what happens. We will eventually come to regret our action. We must act in a way that God would approve of and try to be more blameless and not sin.

I pray that we would flee from sin and that we would try and become more like God.

Later, Laban found out about this and he followed Jacob and he finally caught up to him, when Laban caught up with Jacob, God told him in a dream at night to not say anything good or bad to Jacob, Jacob and Laban then made a covenant and ate and Jacob went on his way.

There is much to cover in this chapter, including Joseph's reuniting with his brothers and trolling them.

After the famine strikes, people swarm like ants to egypt. Joseph's brothers also come to egypt in search for grain. Joseph spots them however, and decides to call them spies and imprison them. Joseph noticed that Benjamin was missing, so to prove they weren't spies, they were to bring him to him. In truth Joseph was only doing this because he wanted to see his family. You never forget the people you decide to remember and love the most. I think that's the main point of today's chapter. You can never forget the people you love and have good memories with. Good friends are hard to come by most of the time, and you would be wise to do well to your friends.

I pray to God that we can be kind to one another and be close friends. I pray that our faith will grow by learning your word, and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

Scripture:Genesis 21
Observations:The birth of Issac occurs for God has kept his promise for Sarah bearing a son for Abraham.When the child was weaned,Sarah sees that Hagar was disrespecting them.God says to Abraham that he should listen to his wife,so with some food,Abraham sends Hagar and her child away.When Hagar and her child were in the wilderness and realizes there is no more water,Hagar weeps as she does not want to see her child's death.God hears about this and helps her and her son.Abraham and Abimelech make a treaty.They make a covenant on the things with each other in which Abraham gives things to him.They make this covenant on how Abraham will not deal falsely with him for God is with him all the time.

Applications:After reading this I learned that all in reality we really are all brothers and sisters for we are the children of God.Verses 11-13 explains of Abraham's words and I think that is super correct because even though physically we aren't sister or brother,we would do that for the sake of each other.Also in Christ,we are all spiritually all brothers and sisters and the children of God for he has adopted us.I hope that I can remember this look at everyone as my brothers and sisters spirtually.
Prayers:Thank you Lord for your love and for your kind heart.I pray that you will please forgive us from our sins.For we are not perfect and we make mistakes,You are number one and while you increase we shall decrease.And I pray to Jesus.Amen!!

Rachel then gave Jacob her servant, Bilhah, she told Jacob to bear children through her and Bilhah bore children to Jacob, Leah also had more children and finally, the Lord allowed Rachel to conceive and she too bore to Jacob a child of her own.

Joseph in this chapter interprets the Pharaohs dream, amd becomes greatest in all of Egypt, second only to the Pharaoh.

When the Pharaoh had a dream, he called every one of his wise men, but none of them could interpret the dream. The cupbearer, however, finally remembers Joseph, and the Pharaoh brings him forth. He interprets the dream, and tells Pharaoh what to do in preparation for the great famines. God gives Joseph great wisdom and knowledge, and now Joseph is the 2nd place ruler of Egypt. While Joseph must've doubted during his difficult times, his suffering wasnt for nothing, and everything happened in his favor. Although it is ok to doubt, never abandon your faith, for it will drive you through the hardest times and will eventually save you.

Applications:After reading this it made me know that God is really kind and has a warm heart.It says in verses 1-22 about how the angels come to Lot to warn him and his family about how God is going to destroy the city.The fact that God let Lot know about the event is very compassionate.This shows how much God really cared and you can feel his great kindness for it saved Lot's life.I hope I can be able to put my trust in the Lord even more,so that I may be able to rely on the Lord always and look up to him as my saviour.

Jacob then worked for Laban for seven years because Laban told Jacob that he would give him Rachel to marry after he had worked for him for seven years. After the seven years, Laban gave Leah, his older daughter to Jacob instead of Rachel and Jacob then had to work another seven years to marry Rachel, the Lord then saw that Leah was not loved by Jacob so he made Leah bear four children while Rachel did not conceive, Jacob then worked for Laban another seven years.

Even as we go through these hard times God is always with us no matter what and he remembers our hardships we go through and unlike the prisoners he remembers all the good things we have showed him there fore I should focus on growing my relationship with God and focus on showing my best attitude towards him.

This chapter talks about Joseph deciphering the meaning of the 2 prisoner's dreams.

One prisoner was a Baker, another a cup bearer. Joseph knew through God that the chief cupbearer would be lifted up, but the Baker would die. 3 days later, it happened. The baker was killed, and the cupbearer was given his old job back. The cupbearer, however, did not remember Joseph's request to remember him. People are disappointing sometimes, and they forget the courtesy you showed them. Nevertheless, it is what it is, and you should not dwell on it. Move on with your life and grow your faith, watch it become greater and greater.

These verses talk about how Joseph was successful even in prison, and that God helped him earn favor in the prison keepers eyes.

Joseph's Masters wife tells her husband a false accusation, and that got him landed in jail. While in jail, however, he is still able to be successful, because God helped him prosper in whatever he did. It's the same old work hard, have faith, believe in God, and be prosperous thing again, but it really makes a difference in our lives once we know that God will definitely side with us (unless it's really bad) and will assist us in whatever ways possible. It's the same message over and over, but once engrained in your mind, you'll never forget, and in hard times, the first thing you will do is look for God.

Observations:Abraham sees to find three men in front of him,so he goes quickly to try to get help to get food to give to the guests.Then they asked Abraham where his wife was and the Lord says that he will return at around this time of next year and Sarah shall bear a son.Sarah thinks this is ridiculous and laughs a little and the Lord confirms that he will,but Sarah denied it.After,Abraham goes with the men to Sodom to help set them on their way and the Lord decides to see whether they who are Sodom and Gamorrah,have done altogether,according to the outcry that has come to him.Abraham asks God multiple questions on how he is going to check the cities and decide on how to punish them or not.Abraham asked questions about the righteous and wicked,but they were kind of unnecessary.
Applications:I don't think I can apply this to my life.I did learn though that it's hard at first to believe because for example Sarah denied to the Lord that he can make her bear a son because she thought her age wouldn't work out with it.I also learned about how Abraham was trying to a bit like worry for the cities that God was going to and try to protect maybe on their behalf.
Prayers:Thank you Lord for your love and grace.I pray that you will encourage us to be able to follow in your ways of righteousness.And I pray to Jesus.Amen!!

Scripture:Genesis 17
Observations:God appears to Abram and explains about his covenant being with him and Abram.God explains how he shall be a father of multitude of nations and so your name shall be Abraham.God says how he will establish his covenant between Abram and him and that Abram's offspring will be in good hands.God also says to Abraham that he shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins and that it shall be a sign of me and your covenant.God says to Abraham that Sarai will have her name be now as Sarah.God says to Abraham that Sarah will bear a son named Issac.When Abraham heard this,he was first a little shocked because he was a 100 years old and Sarah,90 years old.After the conversation,Abraham brought his son,Ishmael and all the men of his house and those who bought with money from a foreigner,were circumcised with him as God commanded.
Applications:This basically explains about Abraham and God's covenant of circumcise.They have a conversation which includes things about their covenant and Issac's brith promised.I don't really think I can find anything to apply to my life with this portion of the book.
Prayers:Thank you Lord for your love and mercy towards us.I pray that you will help us to be able to follow your word everyday and be able to keep on running this race until we die.And I pray to Jesus.Amen!!

Scripture: Genesis 27
Observation: Isaac was getting old and soon he lost his vision and could not see, later, Isaac called for his oldest son, Esau  and told him to hunt some meat and to then prepare him his favorite meal and Isaac also told Esau Ruth at he would bless him before he would die. Rebekah heard this and she then told Jacob about this, she told Jacob to go to Isaac posing as Esau and revive his blessing, Rebekah then made Isaac’s favorite meal, gave it to Jacob and covered his skin with goat skins so it would feel like Esau’s hairy skin. Jacob then went to Isaac and he got his blessing and got out, just then, Esau came into his father’s tent and gave his father his meal, Isaac then realized that he had blessed Jacob and Esau then got very angry with Jacob and Jacob was sent to Laban’s house by Rebekah and he stayed there until Esau calmed down.
Application: I can apply this to my life by always being truthful and relying on God.
Prayer: I pray that we may all be able to become better servants towards the Lord.

Genesis chapter 38 verse 24:"24 About three months later Judah was told, “Your daughter-in-law Tamar is guilty of prostitution, and as a result she is now pregnant.”

This verse was about how we must flee from prostitutes and how it is a sin that we must not commit.

Our bodies were made from God and we must not commit sins and deal with prostitutes. We must praise God and not do things that will bring shame on his name.

I pray that we would be safe from Covid and that we would use all this time that we have to become closer to God.

There really isnt much to say about this chapter, as it only focuses on Judahs momentary "affair" of some sort. Not known as widely as Joseph's story is, and I cant really find a good lesson to learn out of this except the same old "be holy, obey Gods commandments", although they are important. Sometimes, we do struggle to find some deeper meaning that is usually in our QTs. We all have our bad days where we cant think if a single thing, and I guess that's today for me. Maybe as I grow wiser and more observant I could be more faithful to God.

I pray to God that we can be able to be wise and faithful. I pray that Thanksgiving break will serve us well, and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

Scripture:Genesis 16
Observations:Hagar who is Sarai's servant flees away from her because of something.She fled away because Sarai realized that God has prevented her from having children,so she wanted Abram to go into her servant,so that she may obtain children.After conceived,there was many problems,which made Hagar leave.The angel of the Lord found her and said to her to return for she and Abram will have a son named Ishmael.
Applications:I don't really think I can apply this to my life.I did learn though that because Sarai couldn't conceive children,Hagar ended up being with Abram to obtain a child named Ishmael.
Prayers:Thank you Lord for your love and you grace.I pray that we will be safe from the coronavirus and be healthy.And I pray to Jesus.Amen!!

S: Genesis 37

O: In this passage, we read about how Joseph tells his brothers about his dream. He told them first about how they were bundling grains and then his suddenly popped up and the other bundles came and bowed before him. The brother got offended and then said "you think you will become our king?" They asked opposingly. The next day, Joseph told the brothers that he had a dream where the sun, moon, and 11 stars bowed down to him. Again, the brothers were triggered (lol) and now even his father scolded him and said to Joseph about how his dreams were pointless and absurd. However, even the father thought about these interesting dreams. Soon after, Joseph was told to check on the brothers, who were pasteurizing the sheep in Shechem. When he finally arrived, the brothers took advantage of the fact that their father is no longer here, therefore, having the ability to make fun of Joseph. One said, "Here comes the dreamer!" And then, the brothers said, "Lets kill him and throw him into the cisterns!" However, one kind-hearted brother named Reuben. He came to Joseph's side and said, lets throw him into a empty one! The brothers agreed, Reuben was secretly planning to rescue Joseph once the brothers were gone. Reuben left, but the others realized that there Ishmaelite traders who they could trade for Joseph for 20 pieces of silver. (Sorry for the extremely long Observation XD)

A: Today in this chapter, I learned that Joseph's brothers were driven by jealousy and wanted to get vengeance on Joseph for his silly dreams. They committed a huge sin because they sold their own flesh and blood just for 20 silver pieces. No matter how much Reuben tried to rescue Joseph, he did not succeed and felt horrible.

P: I pray that everyone at church stays safe (and cover their noses with a mask -_-) and recover quickly when they are sick.

Genesis 37

Joseph was his father's favorite son of all time and his brother's were jealous of him. His brothers were even more jealous of him after Joseph had told his dream about all of them bowing down to them, they got so jealous to the point where they had plotted to kill him but they did not but they sold him to the slave traders.

What I had learned in this chapter is to care for and not be envious of our siblings and family instead of planning a plot to kill, or trade them to the slave traders sometimes that's how I feel about my sibling(jk) instead we should care for them and love them, after all, they are our family.// so in this pandemic we are constantly around our family and sometimes you just want to take a break from them but just like in this chapter we should not feel that way but love our family and care for them instead of feeling hatred and envy towards each other.

Dear heavenly father thank you for telling me to deal with my family members in this pandemic and please help this pandemic be over please do, thank you in Jesus name I pray amen.

Scripture: Genesis 26
Observation: There was a famine that was going on in the land so Isaac went to Abimelek, the king of the Philistines in Gerar, Isaac went there with his wife, Rebekah, when they went to king Abimelek, Isaac told him that Rebekah was his sister and he was scared that if he told them that she was his wife then they would kill him over her because she was beautiful. The king then later found out about this and he asked Isaac why he lied to him and Isaac told him that he was scared that he might be killed if he told the truth.
Application: I can apply this to my life by telling the truth and loving the Lord.
Prayer: I pray that we may all be able to speak the truth and to always rely on God.

Genesis chapter 37 verse 8:"8 His brothers said to him, “Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?” And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said."

Joseph's brothers hated him for just simply saying that he had a dream that his brothers were bowing down to him. Even though they may have thought this wasn't actually going to happen, they still got angry. They should have acted as if it was never going to happen instead of blowing their fuse and getting angry at him.

We must love our family at all times. No matter what they say to us, our love for them must be there. If we do not love our families, we can never come to love God the same way.

I pray that no matter the circumstance, we would love our families.

This chapter talks about Joseph's dream, and how his brothers sold him to Egypt.

Joseph's famous dream made his brothers extremely mad, and it drove them to sell him to merchants going to Egypt. We all know what it is about, hisbbrithers bowing to him as if he were a king. They were eventually eaten up by jealousy and the favoritism Jacob was showing him, that they would him for money. Jealousy is a disease, once sick, like a habit, it is hard to recover from. Even though someone is doing much better than us, be jealous not, instead, congratulate them, and try harder yourself. Jealousy led people to do many bad things in the Bible, and we should learn from their mistakes.

I pray to God that we can be able to not be jealous, but rather the opposite. I pray that Thanksgiving break will treat us well, and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over

Habakkuk 3:17-18"17 Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fail and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, 18 yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior."

Everybody wants to hear good news about the things that are happening. I don't know about everybody in the world but most people I have met in my life want to hear good news and not want to hear the bad news.

Even though things may go terribly wrong we must still be thankful for what God is doing for us. God still has given us gifts and allowed us to live. We must be thankful for all he is doing and will do for us.

Good news is something we all enjoy hearing or listening to, but the ultimate good news is something we live with everyday, we just think it as an event that merely happened to give us salvation.

Ge thankful in everything that happens, even if life disappoints you in the biggest way possible. That way, we can be thankful to God for all his gifts, and continue to do so.

To rejoice, remember, and repeat, you must continually make these actions a habit in your life. Once a habit, always a habit. Doing something over and over will make you be familiar to whatever you're doing, and this make it more natural to be grateful and apply the 3 Rs.

Always be thankful and God will be pleased, gripe and complain and you will be grateful for not one single thing.

I pray to God that we can be able to be thankful in everything you have given us. I pray that we can be able to meet in live practice, and that Corona virus pandemic will soon be over
