Jacob finally sees his son, Joseph, before he dies: Genesis 46:1-47:31
Eating pizza is not a sin: Matthew 15:1-28
More of the song from David about God giving him victory over his enemies: Psalm 19:1-14
The wicked stumble: Proverbs 4:14-19
Bible geek information: When Joseph placed his hand under his father’s thigh to make the vow, this was symbolic of two things:
1) It’s a respect for the circumcision – which is the mark on the human body that symbolized God’s covenant with His people.
2) The right thigh is the strongest part of the body.
Thus the placement of Joseph’s hand under his father’s thigh was a way of saying, “I make this promise on your strength and on God’s covenant with you.”
What comes out of mouth is what defiles us. (See today’s verses from Matthew.) What we profess with our lips comes from our heart. As sinful beings we have hearts bursting with sin. That sin shines through what we say.
Probably the first thing we have to do to clean up our lives is to clean up our mouths.
