—Genesis 41:41-49
by: Dorothy Noel.
In Matthew 6:34, Jesus instructed us, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for itself.” Yet here we see Joseph storing grain for 7 years! How is that obedience? Joseph was not called to action through fear of the future. He was not hoarding because he was unsure what tomorrow would bring. In fact, he knew exactly what was coming and obeyed God’s call to prepare for it. Proper preparation is an indicator of trust in God’s plan. Fear and worry about the unknown displays weakness in our faith. Which are you living in?
