Genesis 44: 34 "How can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? No! Do not let me see the misery that would come on my father.”
Joseph has sent his brothers home, but he directed that the silver they had paid be put into their things. He set it up so that his younger brother would be left behind to pay for the alleged crime. Judah begs to stay in place of Benjamin. That causes Joseph to break down and tell his brothers who he is.
I relate to Judah's feelings about his father. How could he face his father's grief? He would do anything to avoid letting his loved one down.
Prayer: Guide me to demonstrate the loving kindness of Judah. Show me how to act in ways that will show my love for others.
Amen
