Matthew 19:29 - And every one that hath forsaken houses ... or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.
PULPIT QUIP: "God refuses to become a debtor to any man!" (Missionary David H. Hillis)
Application: Giving / Tithing / Missions / Sacrifice / Loss within God's will, etc.
Same note at parallel Gospels, Mark 10:29-30; Luke 18:29-30. Also at Philippians 4:19 (in context) and at Job chapter 42.

Notes in Genesis Chapter 39
Genesis 39:3 - "And his master saw that the LORD was with him...."
Unbelievers must plainly see our walk with God, I Peter 3:15.
Genesis 39:5 - "...the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake...."
Our labor should be a blessing to our employer (even to unbelievers), not a curse or stumbling block. I Timothy 6:1-2.
Genesis 39:12 - "...and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out."
Flee fornication, I Corinthians 6:18. Flee also youthful lusts, II Timothy 2:22.
Genesis 39:20 - "And Joseph's master took him, and put him into the prison...."
See I Peter 2:19-20 ; I Peter 4:14-16.

Notes in Genesis Chapter Twenty-Four
Genesis 24:33 - And there was set meat before him to eat: but he said, I will not eat, until I have told mine errand. And he said, Speak on.
Business before pleasure! No wonder this faithful man was made steward of all that Abraham had (verse 10).
Genesis 24:50 - "Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said..."
Why Laban, Rebekah's brother, one with authority to decide on her marriage if her father Bethuel still living? Verse 50, "answered" verb is singular. Perhaps Laban speaking on behalf of his elderly father Bethuel. Others suppose Bethuel dead and this is Bethuel, Jr., so "their sister" in verse 59. See John Gill's commentary here.
Genesis 24:67 - "...and Isaac was comforted after his mother's death."
This being about three years after her death. (Sarah bare Isaac at age 90 and died at 127, so Isaac was 37 at her death. Isaac married at age 40, Genesis 25:20).
