Prayer and Life

Thinking about my aim in this new year, in this new political climate:

    To pray for all types of people........

    1 Timothy 2:2 that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.

    To live according to......

    --the moral order of the universe
    --the fabric, or grain, of how God made things
    --the design of God's creation
    (inspired by Timothy Keller)

A note in the Reformation Study Bible from today's reading in Genesis 41 is appropriate to include here:
            "Joseph prefigured Moses at the founding of Israel, and Daviel at the end of Israel's monarchy.
             All three were oppressed captives who came to power in a hostile land by pitting God's wisdom
             against the wise of this world, displaying the superiority of God's wisdom and His rule 
             over the nations."
