Joseph.. Plenty to Give ..
Read Genesis 42- 45 Bible Gateway ~ Joseph at the grain store https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+42&version=NIV
Joseph was treated with favouritism by his father (Genesis 37:3) cruelty by his brothers (Genesis 37 12-36) & unfairness by His employer (Genesis 39 6-20). In prison he found favour with the jailers and gained a position where he later helped his brothers in need (Genesis 39 20-23, Genesis 42 1-6).
Whatever the circumstance, or place we find ourselves in life, God can make a way (Psalm 18:28).. His purpose is for us and He wants us to give. We have sufficient when God is our source, He is our supply and He is our strength.. (Psalm 18 30-50) Joseph could of reacted in many ways to all his circumstances .. he chose to serve. God makes our paths straight when we trust in Him (Proverbs 3 5-6) He makes streams flow in the desert (Isaiah 35:6) and strengthens our heart (2Chronicles 16:9)..
We need to prepare ourselves for God to visit us (Matthew 3:3) - our work must stand through the fire and we must be 'found in him and known as his'.. (1Corinthians 3 11-15)
How do you react to circumstances / people in your life ?
Do you ask God to turn it all to good ?
Choose to look for God at all times and in all circumstances. We never know who we may be serving :) (Hebrews 13:2)
