—Genesis 41:25-33, 37-40, 50-52

Joseph took a leap of faith in telling Pharaoh how to handle the crisis coming to him. This was the most powerful man in the region, someone who had spent his whole life in training and learning and leading a powerful nation. Yet, when Joseph spoke, Pharaoh recognized the wisdom of his words and entrusted Joseph with the keeping of not only his nation, but his household. From Pharaoh, we see the humility of a good leader in recognizing the abilities of another. In Joseph we see the confidence of one who knows his place in God’s plan. May we grow in both the humility and confidence which flow from our trust in God.
