Dear All
I have pleasure in presenting
you part 31 of my series PRAYING WITH UNDERSTANDING.
This part deals with Joseph.
Joseph was the eleventh of the
twelve sons of Jacob and the first of the two sons of Rachel. He was the
favorite son of his father, but his brothers' hatred was aroused
by their father's favoritism and Joseph's own dreams which
predicted that they would one day bow down to him.
It has been a challenge to
write this part, considering the fact that The Torah has 13 chapters, from
37 to 50 in the book of Genesis, on the life of Joseph.
Joseph
is considered to be a perfect example of an ideal man of great
qualities, extremely handsome, intellegent,
and honest and fair. He never misused his power nor ever gave in to
any temptation because of his handsomeness.
The Torah's account of
Joseph, with its ups and downs, shows us how the Jewish race
finally came into being with the 12 sons of Jacob.
Please open the article to
understand the blessings associated with the life of Joseph.
As always please pass on to
your contacts.
Please do make it a point to
drop in a line to me about how you felt about this article.
Thanks and with best regards
Raymond Jacob Ramrajkar
