“And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy words shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou” (Genesis 41:39-40).
It would have been impossible to humanly orchestrate the events of Joseph’s life. Only God could have worked out the details of this great turn around. Dragged from his homeland and led away a captive, falsely accused by a wicked woman, neglected by a wicked chief butler who put Joseph out of his mind, now suddenly he stands before Pharaoh as the bearer of the Revelation of God. Only the Lord could have orchestrated this. One of the great lessons in life that we must take away from this passage is that someday God is going to make all things right. He has a plan and purpose for our lives. Into the hands of the same God that orchestrated the details for Joseph I gladly place my own life today. How about you?
For today: I’m glad to belong to the God of Joseph. I may not go from prison to the office of Prime Minister, but God has a plan for me and you as well. Isn’t it exciting to belong to Him?
