Again, the point here is to show how to read your Bible devotionally by doing it. Be able to summarize what you read, and apply it to your life in basic ways - see Jesus, and see His instruction for your living.
Genesis 39 - Joseph rises and falls in Potiphar's house
Application: whatever great or gross thing happens to you, God is with you through it all.
40 - Joseph interprets dreams but is forgotten in prison.
Application: God can grow us spiritually in our troubles, even when they don't end.
41 - Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dreams, and saves 20% of Egypt's produce for the lean years to come.
Application: God has provided spiritual food for the whole world through His wise Son, ruling for us.
42 - Joseph tests his brothers' repentance: how will they think of a single brother in trouble NOW?
Application: God puts us in situations that call for acting on our repentance, changing for the better after past sins and mistakes.
