Meditate On
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown
you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you. You shall be over
my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in
regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Genesis 41:39–40
God’s
Wisdom Brings Promotion
When Potiphar saw that the Lord was with Joseph, and that
everything he touched prospered, Potiphar immediately promoted Joseph and
placed him in charge over all the affairs of his house (Genesis 39:3–4).
Similarly, when Pharaoh saw that the Spirit of God was in Joseph and that there
was none who was as wise and as discerning as Joseph, Pharaoh placed him in
charge of the whole of Egypt (Genesis 41:38–41).
My friend, promotion and increase come from the Lord
through His wisdom, presence and unmerited favor. It may feel like you are
stuck in a hopeless situation, cast away and forgotten, but the story isn’t
over yet. The Lord’s promotion is coming! So don’t give up. Don’t try to
manipulate the situation either and get into strife. Continue to seek the Lord
as your wisdom and thank Him for His presence in your life. Trust in His love
and unmerited favor toward you and He will promote you in due time!
BLESSINGS
JOSEPH PRINCE
