Reading
Genesis 29:32; 35:22; 37:21-26; 42:20-22; 49:1-4
Questions
#3 - Reuben chose to be a loser in the face of his family.
1. He let his little brother down and lied to his father causing great pain and heartache. Reuben didn't care how they felt. Do you care about your family?
2. Does your attitude hurt your mom and/or dad?
3. Spiritually, do you help your brother or sister or hurt them?
4. Go back to Jacob's blessing in Genesis 49:4. He called Reuben unstable as water which is controlled by the temperature around it. Are you controlled by temptation, peer pressure, and selfishness?
Reuben could have been a leader, but he chose to be a loser.

1. I care about my family.
2. I am not around my parents, but I know my poor attitude affects my family.
3. As far as my biological sister, I help her, and for the most part I strive to help my brothers and sisters in Christ.
4. Peer pressure is not something that I struggle with, but like most of us would agree, the temptation to give in to our own selfish desires is always a battle that is being fought in our lives.
1.ya of course
2.ya someeimes but i wish that it didnt.
3.no not really
4.only sometime but i am trying to change because i dont want to be that way anymore but sometimes we as humans just cant help it.
1. Definitely, but when I blow it with them through impatience, lack of grace, etc...I am showing that I care more about myself, "my rights," etc.
2. Not in a while...but boy, did I use to hurt my mom with my attitude! I was a first-class jerk with her at times. I regret it now...it has lessened my opportunities to be a blessing to her over the years...it took a long time for that relationship to heal, and now our quality time is very minimal.
3. Help. I pray for my brother and sister-in-law and try to encourage them biblically in the face of some very discouraging circumstances they are enduring.
4. Too often, I'm afraid, my own selfishness and concern about the opinions of others trips me up and makes me unstable. What an epitabph...Oh, Father, please don't let this be my life's record!
