GOD'S ECONOMY
Joseph was promoted to Governor of all of Egypt. Only Pharaoh was higher than him. He was elevated from the pit to the palace in one day. Pharaoh gave him a Royal Ring; a Royal Robe; a Royal Chariot; and a Royal Wife. WOW! He went from living in a dark, dismal, dirty dungeon, to a luxurious palace in one day. That's how fast God can turn a situation around. He has no respect of person, and he will do the same thing for you. Just don't give up on your dream; your vision; your promise.
Now we see the famine has not only hit Egypt, but also Canaan, where his father and brothers live. Jacob hears that there is food in Egypt and he send his sons there. It's amazing to me how God is so in control. Joseph's brothers are now bowing before him, just like God showed him in his dream, many years ago. WOW! This is so awesome! This is so encouraging to me. I am looking, with great expectation, everyday, for my promise from God. If God said it, that settles it! Hold on to your promise. Hold on to your dream. Hold on to your vision. It shall come to pass.
Ge 42:1-9 Now when Jacob saw that there was corn in Egypt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do ye look one upon another? 2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is corn in Egypt: get you down thither, and buy for us from thence; that we may live, and not die. 3 And Joseph's ten brethren went down to buy corn in Egypt. 4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent not with his brethren; for he said, Lest peradventure mischief befall him. 5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn among those that came: for the famine was in the land of Canaan. 6 And Joseph was the governor over the land, and he it was that sold to all the people of the land: and Joseph's brethren came, and bowed down themselves before him with their faces to the earth. 7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew them, but made himself strange unto them, and spake roughly unto them; and he said unto them, Whence come ye? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food. 8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. 9 And Joseph remembered the dreams which he dreamed of them, and said unto them, Ye are spies; to see the nakedness of the land ye are come.
