We meet Joseph when he is seventeen, and Genesis ends when he is 110 at the time of his death. Joseph was used by God in a mighty way. He saved many from death when a horrible famine hit the land. God used him to keep the people of Israel alive. God determined to use Joseph to keep the promise He made to his great-grandfather Abraham in Genesis 12. God did great works through Joseph, but we are naive to think that this came without trouble. His brothers wanted to kill him, then left him in a pit to die instead, then they decided to sell him into slavery to Egypt. In Egypt, he was unjustly charged, thrown in prison, and a man he helped forgot him for many years when he said he would remember Joseph. God was working for Joseph's good so that what others meant for evil God meant for good. |
