Meditate
On
You
shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your
children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that
you have. There I will provide for you, lest you and your household, and all
that you have, come to poverty…
Genesis
45:10–11
Draw Near To Jesus
In
the Old Testament story of Joseph, after Joseph reveals his identity to his
brothers, he tells them to return to their father, and to tell their father to
come quickly to him. Joseph had prepared for his family to dwell in the land of
Goshen, where they, with all their children and all they possessed, would be
near to him.
The
name “Goshen” means “drawing near.” My friend, the Lord wants you to be in
“Goshen,” which is a place of nearness to Him. His heart of love is not
satisfied with just removing your sins. No, He wants more. He wants you in His
presence. He wants you in the place where He can lavish the bountiful love in
His heart on you!
When
you draw near to Jesus, look what happens. Joseph tells his brothers to also
tell their father, “There I will provide for you, lest you and your household,
and all that you have, come to poverty; for there are still five years of
famine.”
Beloved, when you draw near to your heavenly Joseph, He will provide
for you and your little ones. In the midst of financial famine in the world, in
the midst of rising fuel and food costs, do not despair. Draw near to Jesus,
for there in “Goshen,” in that place of nearness, He will provide for you and
your household!
BLESSINGS
JOSEPH
PRINCE
