There Are No Dead-End Streets With Him
Rev. Lynn Wilhite spoke from the pulpit on Sunday.
Genesis 45:1-15 formed the basis of her message. Take time to read it now. Click the Scripture reference if you don’t have a Bible with you and read it on-line.
Rev. Wilhite reviewed the entire story of Joseph and all the dead-end street experiences he had.
By faith Joseph recognized the Lord’s presence each time:
In the horror of being sold into slavery by his brothers… The Lord was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master. (Genesis 39:2)
In the false accusations of his master’s wife and his unjust arrest… But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love and gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. (Genesis 39:21)
As I re-read the Scripture, Joseph’s attitude and his take on reality astound me. Because surely he should blame his brothers for his enslavement and Potiphar’s wife for his unjust incarceration, but no. Joseph gives God credit for sending him to hard places.
