Bak to Your Daily Manna

TOPIC: GOD’S "WILL” IS TO GIVE YOU A BETTER FUTURE

Memory verse:-"So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”

Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He

dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck. He had him ride

in a chariot as his second-in-command, and men shouted before him, "Make way!”

Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,

"I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all

Egypt

.” Pharaoh

gave Joseph the name Zaphenath-Paneah and gave him Asenath daughter of Potiphera,

priest of On, to be his wife. And Joseph went throughout the land of Egypt.

Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh king of

Egypt

. And

Joseph went out from Pharaoh’s presence and traveled throughout

Egypt

. During the

seven years of abundance the land produced plentifully. Joseph collected all the food

produced in those seven years of abundance in

Egypt

and stored it in the cities. In each

city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. Joseph stored up huge quantities

of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records

because it was beyond measure. Before the years of famine came, two sons were born

to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On. Joseph named his firstborn

Manasseh^f and said, "It is because God has made me forget all my trouble and all my

father’s household.” The second son he named Ephraim and said, "It is because God

has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering.”

The seven years of abundance in

Egypt

came to an end, and the seven years of famine

began, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all the other lands, but in the whole

land of Egypt there was food. When all

Egypt

began to feel the famine, the people cried

to Pharaoh for food. Then Pharaoh told all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph and do what

he tells you.”

When the famine had spread over the whole country, Joseph opened the storehouses

and sold grain to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe throughout

Egypt

. And all the

countries came to

Egypt

to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all

the world.”

-Gen. 41: 41-57

After so much suffering in the hands of his own brothers, in the house of Potipher, and moving from being the favorite of his father to being a slave and from being a slave to being a prisoner, he became who God planned declared he should be. It was as if all was lost, how come a future king became a slave and a prisoner? God ways, indeed, is unfathomable. Your picture today can not be compared to the future glorious picture, this makes God supreme. It is not in the plans of God to bring you into shame but to glorify you. It is not over and God has not of finish with you, it seems darker than you think but light always comes after darkness. Just wait little longer your light and redemption is on the way and close to you than you may think.

Prayer:-pray for strength for the present uncomfortable situation

pray for God’s prevailing will upon your life

What to meditate on:

Why must the righteous suffer sometime even more than the wicked?
