The sermon we heard this past weekend in Philadelphia at Jordan’s church was a great affirmation. The pastor emphasized that all the Bible is God’s Word. He urged us not to skip through the laws and names, but read through them and give God a chance to speak even through these obscure things. The one reference that spoke to me last week was Joshua 21:21. “In the hill country of Ephraim they (as in – the Levites) were given Shechem (a city of refuge for one accused of murder)…” How interesting that the territory where Joseph was put in a well and sold, would become the property of his direct descendants through Ephraim. Not only that, but that it would become a city of refuge, where those accused of wrongdoing could find hope. Our God sure knows how to turn the tables. -Anita
