JOSEPH (Profiles In Courage)
Show Notes

Another profile that is worth consideration is Joseph.  Perhaps the path of Joseph's life would not have been the one he would pick if given the choice.  Most of us would rather not endure the suffering that Joseph went through.  Sold into slavery as a young man and abandoned by his brothers, Joseph started at the lowest place possible.  Still, God's favor was upon him and he was given the opportunity to advance.  When we pick up the story of Joseph in this episode, he is being summoned by Pharaoh to interpret a dream.  

Joseph's whole life changes because of this one moment.  He was patient to wait for this opportunity and he did not take any of the glory/credit for himself.  He pointed to the Lord as the one Who interprets dreams and provides the knowledge and understanding needed.  We learn from Joseph the importance of waiting on God's timing and abiding in Him, despite the unknowns we face. As we do, we experience the same type of blessings that Joseph had.  We see God as the source of our strength and hope while we walk through hidden years.
