Joseph was faithful to God no matter his circumstance. He went from favorite son to being rejected by his brothers and sold into slavery. Then, falsely accused and cast into prison, God lifted him up to the highest place in Egypt. Joseph’s life foreshadows Christ’s. Don’t be surprised if your life mirrors this too. Just be faithful. God is good.

Jacob sees life as a pilgrimage, a short journey on the way to eternity. Surely Abraham and Isaac taught him this. Seeing a heavenly ladder, wrestling an angel, and seeing Joseph alive must have convinced him of God’s promise of paradise.

Whether enslaved or in prison, Joseph was faithful. Stop complaining about your boss or your situation. Bloom where you are planted. And God will give you favor with those over you.

How often we go through life thinking like Jacob. Yet, our God is present. We are not alone in the wilderness. God is there.

God chose Abraham. Has God chosen you to “direct” your family back to Him?

Through Ishmael and Isaac both the Muslim and Jew claim Abraham as father. The root of hostility between these two goes back centuries. But Christ can heal this rift. Through Him we become true children of Abraham (Gal. 3:7).

We fear loss. Loss of possessions, family, life. But God says He is our shield, our Protector. We fear an empty future. But God says He Himself is our very great reward.
