S - Genesis 44:33 “So please, my lord, let me stay here as a slave instead of the boy, and let the boy return with his brothers.
O - Judah is begging Joseph to take him to be his slave instead of Benjamin. This is the sacrifice that he is willing to make for his brother and father; laying down his life for them.
A - I need to continue focusing on John 15:13 "There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." and this passage above. The love that I need to focus giving Christa and my children is the sacrificing love that Judah is showing here and the Jesus ultimately gave when dying on the cross for us. I owe it to them as their father and husband and I owe it to God as he has instructed me to be that type of father and husband. Also, I owe it to God, as He has said do this to the least of them and you will be doing it to me. I want nothing more than to live a life pleasing to Him.
P - God, you are great and you are the perfect example of love; amazing, sacrificing love. I come to you today to ask for your protection over my wife and children as they are away from me. I pray that you give them joy and peace and patience. Please bless them and also me as we go about our day. I ask for your favor as the county starts talking again today about this little girl and that our names are difficult for them to dismiss and that all the walls would be broken done and any roadblocks would be removed quickly. I praise you Heavenly Father! I love you.
