Joseph in Charge

Love for One Another Struggles with Love Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5)    God Rewards Obedience Genesis 41:41-49 New International Version Joseph in Charge of Egypt 41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. 43 He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command,[a] and people shouted before him, “Make way[b]!” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. 44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word, no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.” 45 Pharaoh gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On,[c] to be his wife. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt. 46 Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout Egypt. 47 During the seven years of abundance, the land produced plentifully. 48 Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each city, he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. 49 Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure. For Reflection Powerful was the word of God whispered into Joeseph's ears. Because Joseph could convince the Pharoah of the power of the One True God, Pharoah placed Joseph in a powerful position.  Through Joseph, God had provided a path to the physical salvation of the Egyptians. God truly loves God's enemies. Pray Pray so that you will have the courage to speak God's word. Pray for the confidence in God's promise of Goodness, Joy, and Peace. Forward to a friend
