The verses for today are emotionally touching and funny.
As today’s scriptural scene opens, we see Joseph, having risen from slavery to Governor, and having completed his job of preparing for the famine predicted in Pharaoh’s dreams, is now in charge of distributing grain.
The famine has affected the areas around Egypt and as these areas heard of Egypt’s plenty, many of them went to Egypt asking for grain. Among these countries were Joseph’s home country Canaan. Joseph’s father Jacob sent all his son’s, except for Benjamin, to Egypt to ask for help.
Can you imagine the look on Joseph’s face when he looks up from his seat of power and sees his brothers? His brothers who harassed and bullied him and had sold him into slavery about 20 years earlier. His brothers who are now kneeling before him in submission and respect asking for food to save their home.
What will Joseph do?
