Do you remember in Genesis chapters 46 and 47 how Pharaoh gave refuge to Joseph’s family (his father Jacob and his brothers and their families, the patriarchs) to flee the famine?
He provided for them from the best of the land.
The ‘fathers of the faith’ were refugees in Egypt.
Do you also remember in Matthew chapter 2 how when Yeshua, Jesus , was a child that Joseph sought refuge for his family as Herod had all boys age 2 and under were murdered?
Our Savior was a refugee in Egypt, even though some try to say He wasn’t so the story fits their desired narrative.
Yes, immigration must be controlled, but be careful not to let your politics harden your hearts.
If many people living today had lived back then, they would have met Jacob (Israel) and his sons at the border of Egypt and turned them away.
They would have met Joseph, Mary and Jesus at the border and sent them back.
The scene above from the 2004 movie, THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, powerfully shows how quickly God could turn things around.
Be humble and don’t let evil make your heart grow cold.
Matthew 24:12 (NKJV)
12 And because lawlessness will abound, the love of many will grow cold.
BE BLESSTIFIED!
