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
