Gen. 41:51"...God has made me forget[in a destructive sense],all my sufferings and all my father's family"
Gen. 41:50 "Before the years of famine came, Joseph had two sons by Asenath [name meaning 'peril, misfortune'].v.52 "He also said, God has given me children in the land of my trouble"
[Amplified= "And the second he called Ephraim[to be fruitful], for[he said], God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction."
Philippians 3:13-16, 1:29 Gen. 29:31-35[...when the Lord saw Leah..He made her able to bear children...[4 sons, each named in faith...]
Leahs' sons names all speak of aspects of our relationship with our Father in heaven:
Reuben, 'see',...'The Lord has seen my affliction'
Simeon, 'hear'...'The Lord heard I am despised'
Levi, 'intimacy, companionship'
Judah, 'Praise' always results when we see God's hand on our lives, and we and hear His voice speaking mercy, grace and love--His precious companionship.
Looking forward intently, only glancing behind a moment at a time.
