Quote of the Week for Wednesday, 9/16/26
“Wise Christians surround themselves with reminders of God’s goodness as a way to move beyond their pasts.” Jeremiah Study Bible Notes
Genesis 41:51 tells us that Joseph named his firstborn Manasseh; the Hebrew sounds like the word for forget. And he said,
“It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father’s household.”
The second son he named Ephraim and said, “It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.” Genesis 41:52
Ephraim sounds like the Hebrew word for twice fruitful.
