Some people just stick out more than others. This could be some one you know or maybe someone who is famous that you have only heard about from a distance. This could be like the person that I wanted to ask you to remember from the Bible.
His name is Jospeh. He was the youngest son of a big family, an important family. If you look at his entire story, you will be amazed. He was a special kid and so loved by his parents, but his brothers didn’t like him. By the way I think the youngest child is the greatest child in the family (my wife and I are both the youngest in our families). I’ll move on.
Joseph was a great man throughout his life, but there are a few places that I want to point out to you about this man. They are verses. They are things I pray will be said of me and others who walk close to God.
Remember Joseph and read on.
Genesis 39:2 NLT
The Lord was with Joseph, so he succeeded in everything he did as he served in the home of his Egyptian master.
His life led him through tough times. Joseph was sold in to slavery, but even in slavery, God blessed Joseph.
Genesis 39:23 NLT
The warden had no more worries, because Joseph took care of everything. The Lord was with him and caused everything he did to succeed.
Joseph was accused of something that he didn’t do. In fact he was many times to do things that were no right. But being falsely accused led to prison, and even in the prison God was with Joseph.
Joseph was successful as were the people around him because God was with him. May we find that following God, obeying His truth and sharing with others keeps us successful and blessed. Remember Joseph who is a great example.
