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,
βIt is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my fatherβs household.β
The second son he named Ephraim and said, βIt is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.β Genesis 41:52
Ephraim sounds like the Hebrew word for twice fruitful.
Learn about the fascinating events in the life of Joseph in Genesis, chapters 37-50.

Amen – God is Good all the time, and it is always good to be reminded of His faithfulness to His children. As I write, I wear a watch as a reminder of my dear mother – she was a bug part of God’s Goodness to me. Thank you for sharing this encouraging message today Cindy. God bless you today my friend and sister π
