Genesis 41…Joseph Becomes Ruler of Egypt
The goal of 1 Chapter a Day is not to fill your brain with content. But, rather to look for God to drop a “nugget of truth” into your heart from each reading. This should be something you can apply to your life. The Bible is not simply a book to be learned…it is a book to be lived!
1 Chapter a Day’s take on Genesis 41
In verse 1, the Bible says “two years later…”
Wow! I had not thought about how long Joseph was in prison after he was falsely accused. Though we don’t know for sure, we know it was more than 2 years. That seems like a long time…especially since he was innocent.
Bottom line…sometimes we can be in a bad place for a long time…even if we are innocent…and even though God is for us. Our job is to listen for God’s directions, follow them, and let the chips fall where they may. And don’t make the common mistake of thinking that everything has to be perfect to experience contentment and a good attitude. You can be an amazing man, woman, or teenager before, during, and after turbulent life seasons!
