Genesis 37:28: So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels[b] of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.

Abraham's covenant being fulfilled today

2019

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+17:9&version=NIV
Genesis 17:9: "Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come." A modern example of God's covenant with Abraham is I guess the world itself because without God's covenant then the world wouldn't have people in it because Abraham wouldn't have generations and generations.

Personal Reflection

2019

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+12&version=NIV
Genesis 12:1: "The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you." This verse has impacted me because it has shown me to trust God and do what he asks because it may be scary but it will become a great plan. And it has shown me that ever since I have moved here it was God's plan and not my parent's plan.
