Genesis 43:7 (NKJV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut they said, \u2018The man asked us pointedly about ourselves and our family, saying, \u201cIs your father still alive? Have you another brother?\u2019 And we told him according to these words\u2026\u201d\u2018\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowing that men will do anything to wriggle out of a tight situation, we need greater discernment and accuracy to get the correct information we need from people. While people may not lie, they may not always tell the complete truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joseph knew what information he was looking for, so he asked very precise questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In life, we need to know what we are looking for and what is needful; and we need to pursue the search of that information rigorously. May God give us unique skills to know what we need to find out and after that, be explicit in seeking out the information we need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cLord, open my eyes. I need to know what I need to know. Give me the clarity on what these things are and grant me the tenacity and specificity in searching these out. In Jesus\u2019 name, I pray. Amen.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
