Genesis 41:41-57
Today's Scripture
God's provision is marvelous. He used the wisdom of a former slave and prisoner to feed the people in famine-affected lands throughout Egypt and beyond. Because of God's revelation to Joseph in Pharaoh's dream, he knew there would be seven years of family followed by seven years of plenty, and planned accordingly. When the people grew hungry, Pharaoh told them to come to Joseph and do what he told them.
Joseph opened up the storehouses and the people from all over came to buy the stored grain. God also blessed Joseph personally, by giving him a wife and two sons.
Perhaps we don't have the wisdom or patience that Joseph exhibited, but we do serve the same God. When times are troubled, let us come to him and seek wisdom and patience. And when times are good, let us remember to thank him for his many blessings.
