I have reached Genesis 37 in my daily Bible readings. For the next 13 chapters Joseph will be front and center. I love this section of Scripture probably more than any other. I think we can all agree that it makes for a really great story...one of the very best in Scripture. But what I love most about Joseph’s story is that in it, I see Jesus in Joseph and in it I see God’s hand in his life ruling and overruling all for His perfect purposes. Joseph’s story reminds me that God is also intimately involved in my own life working all together for my ultimate good and His glory. It also reminds me that my God is completing that good work He began in me at salvation. All that comes my way, He uses to conform me into His image...to make me more like Him.
But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.—2 Corinthians 3:18
Beloved...Our God keeps His promises. Like Joseph, you are God’s beloved. The Lord your God is with you. Trust Him. Be obedient...walk in His grace. Depend on Him to meet your every need and bring you safely home.
As for me, I will see Your face in righteousness;
I shall be satisfied when I awake in Your likeness.—Psalm 17:15
For this is God,
Our God forever and ever;
He will be our guide
Even to death.—Psalm 48:14
