Bible Reading: Genesis 42: 3-20
Key Verse: Verse 16 - “Send one of you, and let him fetch your brother, and ye shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proved, whether there be any truth in you: or else by the life of Pharaoh surely ye are spies.”
Key Words: that your words may be proved
If we had to prove our words, would we be found to be truthful?
Is that not what happened to Moses when he faced Pharaoh? On ten occasions he had to prove he was telling the truth; and on ten occasions he was found to be truthful.
Four high school boys agreed to skip class and go see a movie. Reporting to school the next day, they told the teacher that the car in which they had been riding had a flat tire. Much to their relief, the teacher smiled and said, “That’s OK. You missed a short test yesterday, so you four take your seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper.” As the boys found seats in different corners of the room she asked, “Which tire was flat?”
I wonder how we would fare if all of our words had to be “proved.” Thought provoking, isn’t it?
