“ Go. Gather together all the Jews who are in Susa. And fast for my benefit. Don’t eat or drink anything for three days. Don’t do it night or day. I and my attendants will fast just as you do. Then I’ll go to the king. I’ll do it even though it’s against the law. And if I have to die, I’ll die.”

When Abram was 99 years old, the Lord appeared to him. He said,“ I am the Mighty God. Walk faithfully with me. Live in a way that pleases me.

Lord, please pay careful attention to my prayer. Listen to the prayers of all of us. We take delight in bringing honor to your name. Give me success today when I bring my request to King Artaxerxes.” I was the king’s wine taster.

The Lord is good. His faithful love continues forever. It will last for all time to come.

We couldn’t change his mind. So we gave up. We said,“ May what the Lord wants to happen be done.”

When the way you live pleases the Lord, he makes even your enemies live at peace with you.

Lord, show me your faithful love. Save me as you have promised.

Please save me from the hand of my brother Esau. I’m afraid he’ll come and attack me and the mothers with their children.But you have said,‘ I will surely give you success. I will make your children as many as the grains of sand on the seashore. People will not be able to count them.’ ”Jacob spent the night there. He chose a gift for his brother Esau from what he had with him.He chose 200 female goats and 20 male goats. He chose 200 female sheep and 20 male sheep.He chose 30 female camels with their little ones. He chose 40 cows and ten bulls. And he chose 20 female donkeys and ten male donkeys.He put each herd by itself. Then he put his servants in charge of them. He said to his servants,“ Go on ahead of me. Keep some space between the herds.”Jacob spoke to his servant who was leading the way. He said,“ My brother Esau will meet you. He’ll ask,‘ Who is your master? Where are you going? And who owns all these animals in front of you?’Then say to Esau,‘ They belong to your servant Jacob. They are a gift to you from him. And Jacob is coming behind us.’ ”He also spoke to the second and third servants. He told them and all the others who followed the herds what to do. He said,“ Say the same thing to Esau when you meet him.Make sure you say,‘ Your servant Jacob is coming behind us.’ ” Jacob was thinking,“ I’ll make peace with him with these gifts I’m sending on ahead. When I see him later, maybe he’ll welcome me.”So Jacob’s gifts went on ahead of him. But he himself spent the night in the camp.That night Jacob got up. He took his two wives, his two female servants and his 11 sons and sent them across the Jabbok River.After they had crossed the stream, he sent over everything he owned.So Jacob was left alone. A man wrestled with him until morning.The man saw that he couldn’t win. So he touched the inside of Jacob’s hip. As Jacob wrestled with the man, Jacob’s hip was twisted.Then the man said,“ Let me go. It is morning.” But Jacob replied,“ I won’t let you go unless you bless me.”The man asked him,“ What is your name?”“ Jacob,” he answered.Then the man said,“ Your name will not be Jacob anymore. Instead, it will be Israel. You have wrestled with God and with people. And you have won.”

May the Mighty God bless you. May he give you children. May he make your family larger until you become a community of nations.

Commit your life to the Lord. Here is what he will do if you trust in him.He will make the reward for your godly life shine like the dawn. He will make the proof of your honest life shine like the sun at noon.Be still and wait patiently for the Lord to act. Don’t be upset when other people succeed. Don’t be upset when they carry out their evil plans.

In the Lord’ s hand the king’s heart is like a stream of water. The Lord directs it toward all those who please him.

But for that very reason, God showed me mercy. And I am the worst of sinners. He showed me mercy so that Christ Jesus could show that he is very patient. I was an example for those who would come to believe in him. Then they would receive eternal life.

He saved Joseph from all his troubles. God made Joseph wise. He helped him to become the friend of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. So Pharaoh made Joseph ruler over Egypt and his whole palace.

Shout for joy, you heavens! Be glad, you earth! Burst into song, you mountains! The Lord will comfort his people. He will show his tender love to those who are suffering.

So Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide. To this day people say,“ It will be provided on the mountain of the Lord.”

He shows his mercy to those who have respect for him, from parent to child down through the years.

Joseph turned away from his brothers and began to weep. Then he came back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken and tied up right there in front of them.

Titus, I am sending you this letter. You are my true son in the faith we share. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Savior give you grace and peace.

Timothy, I am sending you this letter. You are my true son in the faith. May God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord give you grace, mercy and peace.

These are the proverbs of Solomon. He was the son of David and the king of Israel.

Their father Jacob said to them,“ You have taken my children away from me. Joseph is gone. Simeon is gone. Now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is going against me!”

God said to him,“ I am the Mighty God. Have children so that there will be many of you. You will become the father of a nation and a community of nations. Your later family will include kings.

Lord, show us your faithful love. Save us.

the Lord was with him. He was kind to him. So the man running the prison was pleased with Joseph.

So here is what I, Ezra, say to you people of Israel.“ Give praise to the Lord. He is the God of our people who lived long ago. He has put it in the king’s heart to bring honor to the Lord’ s temple in Jerusalem. The king has honored the Lord in his letter.
