The Game Plan. I will be reading through the Bible through this year of 2011; little by little, chapter by chapter. I have always wanted to do this but have never committed to do so. This is me making a commitment.

Genesis 41-42

Genesis 41
Pharaoh has a dream and no one can interpret it.
Pharaoh's butler remembers Joseph in prison and tell Pharaoh of what he has done.
Joseph interprets Pharaoh's dream as 7 years of plenty and 7 years of famine.
Pharaoh puts Joseph 2nd in command.
Joseph gathers food in the years of plenty for storage.
When famine hits, he opens the stores because the famine was severe.

Genesis 42
Jacob tells his sons to go to Egypt and buy grain.
Joseph's brothers ask him for grain.

Joseph sells them grain and puts the money back in their sacks.
The brother go home and find the money in the sacks.
