Genesis 39 (Wonderful Modern Medicine)

Paracetamol must be the most incredible substance on earth.
How is it you can buy a pack in a supermarket for under $2?
It is a substance that is smarter than a lot of people I know or am related to.
(I'm deliberately looking down and definitely at no one nearby at all)
It's not like I know or am related to unsmart people.
It's just this stuff is super duper smart.
I think I just got away with something. I hope.
I just don't understand how it works.
For example:
A hypothetical son plays his guitar extremely loud and it hurts my head.
I take a couple of tablets.
In a little while the pain disappears.
or
Hypothetically I sit funny in my chair at work and I get pain in my knee.
I take a couple of tablets.
In a little while the pain disappears.
or
After a hypothetical weight session with a hypothetical son, (could hypothetically be the same one as in the first example) my arm gets really sore from the massive size of the massive dumbbell.
That's the weight lifting thingy not the weight lifter thingy.
Anyway,
I take a couple of tablets.
In a little while the pain disappears.

3 different areas of the body.
But the same tablets stop the hurt in each part.
AND it gets it right!!!!!!!!

I don't get a headache and then my toes stop hurting.

I don't have a strain in my arm and then my ear stops hurting.

Amazingly amazing.

Because it could get confusing if you needed to take a different tablet for different body parts.
I mean if your tooth ached, do you get a tablet for your tooth or your head?
Would there be separate tablets depending on left arm or right arm?
If you were sore all over, how many tablets would you have to take?
Some parts of the country are still in drought.
They couldn't cope with the water usage required.
Surely.
We should be more thankful for this incredibly smart substance than I think we are.

Genesis 39
How good was Joseph?
I know some fairly driven, well organised people. But I doubt even they could get close to the skills of Joseph.
Straight from being sold by his brothers, he gets over the "Oh what will happen to me?" and straight into "What will I make happen?"
He does it so well the only concern Potiphar has is "Hmmm, what will I eat today?"
It wasn't a small estate.
There wasn't a small crew to manage.
Potiphar was the captain of Pharaoh's guard!
Joseph just didn't do well.
He excelled.

There are times when we are in situations we don't like.
Often.
There are times when we are in situations we don't deserve.
Sometimes.
What do we do in these times?
Our character is what happens when no one is around to hear our thoughts.

Except God.

God blessed Potiphar because of Joseph.
Can the same be said of our employer, family, school or whatever?
Joseph is a brilliant example of getting on with a positive mindset even when everything happening to you appears to suck.

We sometimes don't see the big picture until after.


Yesterday it appears I made a reference to a long held fear of mine.
Frogs.
The close proximity of any amphibian actually gets my skin crawling.
And lizards.
And for the caring soul who asked, Yes, baby frogs as well!!!!
Jury is out on tadpoles.
Let's just say.................possibly.
Don't want to be near them.
Don't want to touch them.
Definitely don't want to wear them.
