  I'm

  Stephanie
• 0:03
  Ax,
• 0:03
  and
• 0:03
  in
• 0:04
  this
• 0:04
  episode
• 0:04
  you
• 0:04
  might
• 0:05
  be
• 0:05
  surprised
• 0:05
  that
• 0:06
  the
• 0:06
  presence
• 0:06
  of
• 0:06
  the
• 0:06
  Lord
• 0:07
  doesn't
• 0:07
  always
• 0:07
  indicate
• 0:08
  what
• 0:08
  we
• 0:08
  think
• 0:08
  it
• 0:08
  should.
• 0:09
  We'll
• 0:09
  be
• 0:09
  talking
• 0:09
  about
• 0:10
  Joseph.
• 0:10
  He's
• 0:11
  one
• 0:11
  of
• 0:11
  my
• 0:11
  favorite
• 0:11
  characters
• 0:12
  in
• 0:12
  all
• 0:12
  of
• 0:12
  scripture,
• 0:13
  his
• 0:13
  story
• 0:14
  is
• 0:14
  pretty
• 0:14
  well
• 0:14
  known.
• 0:15
  But
• 0:15
  I
• 0:15
  wanna
• 0:15
  remind
• 0:16
  us
• 0:16
  to
• 0:16
  be
• 0:16
  so
• 0:16
  careful
• 0:17
  when
• 0:17
  we
• 0:17
  come
• 0:17
  to
• 0:17
  passages
• 0:18
  of
• 0:18
  scripture
• 0:19
  that
• 0:19
  we've
• 0:19
  heard
• 0:19
  or
• 0:19
  read
• 0:20
  over
• 0:20
  and
• 0:20
  over.
• 0:21
  I
• 0:21
  feel
• 0:21
  a
• 0:21
  little
• 0:21
  zealous
• 0:22
  to
• 0:22
  redeem
• 0:22
  some
• 0:22
  moments
• 0:22
  of
• 0:23
  Joseph's
• 0:23
  life
• 0:23
  that
• 0:23
  I
• 0:24
  think
• 0:24
  he
• 0:24
  gets
• 0:24
  a
• 0:24
  bad
• 0:24
  rap
• 0:25
  for.
• 0:25
  Let
• 0:25
  me
• 0:25
  show
• 0:25
  you
• 0:26
  what
• 0:26
  I
• 0:26
  mean.
• 0:26
  We'll
• 0:26
  begin
• 0:27
  in
• 0:27
  Genesis
• 0:28
  37,
• 0:28
  3.
• 0:29
  He
• 0:29
  is
• 0:29
  17
• 0:29
  at
• 0:30
  this
• 0:30
  point,
• 0:30
  and
• 0:30
  we're
• 0:30
  told.
• 0:31
  Now
• 0:31
  Israel
• 0:32
  loved
• 0:32
  Joseph
• 0:33
  more
• 0:33
  than
• 0:33
  any
• 0:33
  other
• 0:34
  of
• 0:34
  his
• 0:34
  sons
• 0:34
  because
• 0:35
  he
• 0:35
  was
• 0:35
  the
• 0:35
  son
• 0:36
  of
• 0:36
  his
• 0:36
  old
• 0:36
  age
• 0:37
  and
• 0:37
  he
• 0:37
  made
• 0:37
  him
• 0:37
  a
• 0:37
  robe
• 0:38
  of
• 0:38
  many
• 0:38
  colors.
• 0:39
  But
• 0:39
  when
• 0:39
  his
• 0:39
  brothers
• 0:39
  saw
• 0:40
  that
• 0:40
  their
• 0:40
  father
• 0:40
  loved
• 0:41
  him
• 0:41
  more
• 0:41
  than
• 0:41
  all
• 0:41
  his
• 0:42
  other
• 0:42
  brothers,
• 0:42
  they
• 0:43
  hated
• 0:43
  him
• 0:43
  and
• 0:44
  could
• 0:44
  not
• 0:44
  speak
• 0:44
  peacefully
• 0:45
  to
• 0:45
  him.
• 0:45
  Now,
• 0:46
  Joseph
• 0:46
  had
• 0:46
  a
• 0:46
  dream,
• 0:47
  and
• 0:47
  when
• 0:47
  he
• 0:47
  told
• 0:47
  it
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  his
• 0:48
  brothers,
• 0:48
  they
• 0:48
  hated
• 0:49
  him
• 0:49
  even
• 0:49
  more.
• 0:50
  He
• 0:50
  said
• 0:50
  to
• 0:50
  them.
• 0:50
  Hear
• 0:51
  this
• 0:51
  dream
• 0:51
  that
• 0:51
  I
• 0:52
  have
• 0:52
  dreamed.
• 0:52
  Behold,
• 0:53
  we
• 0:53
  were
• 0:53
  binding
• 0:53
  sheaths
• 0:54
  in
• 0:54
  the
• 0:54
  field,
• 0:55
  and
• 0:55
  behold,
• 0:55
  my
• 0:55
  sheath
• 0:56
  arose
• 0:56
  and
• 0:56
  stood
• 0:56
  upright
• 0:57
  and
• 0:57
  behold,
• 0:58
  your
• 0:58
  sheaths
• 0:58
  gathered
• 0:59
  around
• 0:59
  it
• 0:59
  and
• 0:59
  bowed
• 0:59
  down
• 1:00
  to
• 1:00
  my
• 1:00
  sheath.
• 1:00
  His
• 1:01
  brothers
• 1:01
  said
• 1:01
  to
• 1:01
  him,
• 1:02
  are
• 1:02
  you
• 1:02
  indeed
• 1:03
  to
• 1:03
  reign
• 1:03
  over
• 1:03
  us
• 1:04
  or
• 1:04
  are
• 1:04
  you
• 1:04
  indeed
• 1:05
  to
• 1:05
  rule
• 1:05
  over
• 1:06
  us?
• 1:06
  So
• 1:06
  they
• 1:06
  hated
• 1:07
  him
• 1:07
  even
• 1:07
  more
• 1:08
  for
• 1:08
  his
• 1:08
  dreams
• 1:09
  and
• 1:09
  for
• 1:09
  his
• 1:09
  words.
• 1:10
  Then
• 1:10
  he
• 1:10
  dreamed
• 1:11
  another
• 1:11
  dream
• 1:11
  and
• 1:11
  told
• 1:12
  it
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  his
• 1:12
  brothers
• 1:12
  and
• 1:13
  said.
• 1:13
  Behold,
• 1:13
  I
• 1:14
  have
• 1:14
  dreamed
• 1:14
  another
• 1:14
  dream.
• 1:15
  Behold,
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  sun,
• 1:16
  the
• 1:16
  moon
• 1:16
  and
• 1:16
  11
• 1:17
  stars
• 1:17
  were
• 1:17
  bowing
• 1:18
  down
• 1:18
  to
• 1:18
  me.
• 1:18
  But
• 1:18
  when
• 1:19
  he
• 1:19
  told
• 1:19
  it
• 1:19
  to
• 1:19
  his
• 1:19
  father
• 1:20
  and
• 1:20
  to
• 1:20
  his
• 1:20
  brothers,
• 1:21
  his
• 1:21
  father
• 1:21
  rebuked
• 1:22
  him
• 1:22
  and
• 1:22
  said
• 1:22
  to
• 1:22
  him,
• 1:23
  what
• 1:23
  is
• 1:23
  this
• 1:23
  dream
• 1:23
  that
• 1:24
  you
• 1:24
  have
• 1:24
  dreamed
• 1:24
  shall
• 1:25
  I
• 1:25
  and
• 1:25
  your
• 1:25
  mother
• 1:26
  and
• 1:26
  your
• 1:26
  brothers
• 1:27
  indeed
• 1:27
  come
• 1:27
  to
• 1:27
  bow
• 1:28
  ourselves
• 1:28
  to
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  ground
• 1:29
  before
• 1:29
  you?
• 1:29
  And
• 1:30
  his
• 1:30
  brothers
• 1:30
  were
• 1:30
  jealous
• 1:31
  of
• 1:31
  him,
• 1:31
  but
• 1:31
  his
• 1:31
  father
• 1:32
  kept
• 1:32
  the
• 1:32
  saying
• 1:32
  in
• 1:33
  mind.
• 1:33
  Then
• 1:34
  Joseph
• 1:34
  is
• 1:34
  sent
• 1:34
  to
• 1:34
  check
• 1:35
  on
• 1:35
  his
• 1:35
  brothers
• 1:35
  while
• 1:35
  they're
• 1:35
  pastoring
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  flock
• 1:37
  and
• 1:37
  will
• 1:37
  pick
• 1:37
  up
• 1:37
  in
• 1:37
  verse
• 1:38
  18.
• 1:38
  They
• 1:38
  saw
• 1:39
  him
• 1:39
  from
• 1:39
  afar
• 1:40
  and
• 1:40
  before
• 1:40
  he
• 1:40
  came
• 1:41
  near
• 1:41
  to
• 1:41
  them,
• 1:41
  they
• 1:41
  conspired
• 1:42
  against
• 1:43
  him
• 1:43
  to
• 1:43
  kill
• 1:43
  him.
• 1:44
  They
• 1:44
  said
• 1:44
  to
• 1:44
  one
• 1:44
  another.
• 1:45
  Here
• 1:45
  comes
• 1:45
  this
• 1:46
  dreamer.
• 1:46
  Come
• 1:47
  now.
• 1:47
  Let
• 1:47
  us
• 1:47
  kill
• 1:47
  him
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  throw
• 1:48
  him
• 1:48
  into
• 1:48
  one
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  pits.
• 1:49
  Then
• 1:50
  we
• 1:50
  will
• 1:50
  say
• 1:50
  that
• 1:50
  a
• 1:50
  fierce
• 1:51
  animal
• 1:51
  has
• 1:51
  devoured
• 1:52
  him
• 1:52
  and
• 1:52
  we
• 1:52
  will
• 1:52
  see
• 1:53
  what
• 1:53
  will
• 1:53
  become
• 1:53
  of
• 1:53
  his
• 1:54
  dreams.
• 1:54
  But
• 1:54
  when
• 1:55
  Ruben
• 1:55
  heard
• 1:55
  it,
• 1:55
  he
• 1:56
  rescued
• 1:56
  him
• 1:56
  out
• 1:57
  of
• 1:57
  their
• 1:57
  hands,
• 1:57
  saying,
• 1:58
  let
• 1:58
  us
• 1:58
  not
• 1:58
  take
• 1:58
  his
• 1:59
  life.
• 1:59
  And
• 1:59
  Ruben
• 2:00
  said
• 2:00
  to
• 2:00
  them,
• 2:00
  shed
• 2:01
  no
• 2:01
  blood.
• 2:01
  Throw
• 2:02
  him
• 2:02
  into
• 2:02
  this
• 2:02
  pit
• 2:03
  here
• 2:03
  in
• 2:03
  the
• 2:03
  wilderness,
• 2:04
  but
• 2:04
  do
• 2:04
  not
• 2:04
  lay
• 2:04
  a
• 2:05
  hand
• 2:05
  on
• 2:05
  him
• 2:05
  that
• 2:05
  he
• 2:06
  might
• 2:06
  rescue
• 2:06
  him
• 2:07
  out
• 2:07
  of
• 2:07
  their
• 2:07
  hand
• 2:07
  to
• 2:08
  restore
• 2:08
  him
• 2:08
  to
• 2:08
  his
• 2:08
  father.
• 2:09
  So
• 2:09
  when
• 2:09
  Joseph
• 2:10
  came
• 2:10
  to
• 2:10
  his
• 2:10
  brothers,
• 2:11
  they
• 2:11
  stripped
• 2:11
  him
• 2:12
  of
• 2:12
  his
• 2:12
  robe,
• 2:12
  the
• 2:12
  robe
• 2:13
  of
• 2:13
  many
• 2:13
  colors
• 2:13
  that
• 2:14
  he
• 2:14
  wore,
• 2:14
  and
• 2:14
  they
• 2:15
  took
• 2:15
  him
• 2:15
  and
• 2:15
  threw
• 2:15
  him
• 2:15
  into
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  pit.
• 2:16
  The
• 2:16
  pit
• 2:17
  was
• 2:17
  empty,
• 2:17
  there
• 2:17
  was
• 2:18
  no
• 2:18
  water
• 2:18
  in
• 2:18
  it.
• 2:19
  Then
• 2:19
  they
• 2:19
  sat
• 2:19
  down
• 2:20
  to
• 2:20
  eat
• 2:20
  and
• 2:20
  looking
• 2:21
  up,
• 2:21
  they
• 2:21
  saw
• 2:21
  a
• 2:21
  caravan
• 2:22
  of
• 2:22
  Ishmaelite
• 2:23
  coming
• 2:23
  from
• 2:23
  Gilead
• 2:24
  with
• 2:24
  their
• 2:24
  camels
• 2:25
  bearing
• 2:25
  gum
• 2:26
  balm,
• 2:26
  and
• 2:26
  meh
• 2:26
  on
• 2:26
  their
• 2:27
  way
• 2:27
  to
• 2:27
  carry
• 2:27
  it
• 2:27
  down
• 2:27
  to
• 2:28
  Egypt.
• 2:28
  Then
• 2:28
  Judah
• 2:29
  said
• 2:29
  to
• 2:29
  his
• 2:29
  brothers,
• 2:30
  what
• 2:30
  profit
• 2:31
  is
• 2:31
  it?
• 2:31
  If
• 2:31
  we
• 2:31
  kill
• 2:31
  our
• 2:32
  brother
• 2:32
  and
• 2:32
  conceal
• 2:32
  his
• 2:32
  blood?
• 2:33
  Come
• 2:33
  let
• 2:34
  us
• 2:34
  sell
• 2:34
  him
• 2:34
  to
• 2:34
  the
• 2:34
  Ishmaelites
• 2:35
  and
• 2:35
  let
• 2:35
  not
• 2:35
  our
• 2:36
  hand
• 2:36
  be
• 2:36
  upon
• 2:36
  him
• 2:37
  for.
• 2:37
  He
• 2:37
  is
• 2:37
  our
• 2:37
  brother,
• 2:38
  our
• 2:38
  own
• 2:38
  flesh,
• 2:39
  and
• 2:39
  his
• 2:39
  brothers
• 2:39
  listened
• 2:40
  to
• 2:40
  him.
• 2:40
  Then
• 2:40
  Midianite
• 2:41
  traders
• 2:41
  passed
• 2:42
  by
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  they
• 2:42
  drew
• 2:43
  Joseph
• 2:43
  up
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  lifted
• 2:44
  him
• 2:44
  out
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  the
• 2:44
  pit
• 2:45
  and
• 2:45
  sold
• 2:45
  him
• 2:45
  to
• 2:45
  the
• 2:45
  Ishmaelites
• 2:46
  for
• 2:46
  20
• 2:47
  shackles
• 2:47
  of
• 2:47
  silver.
• 2:48
  They
• 2:48
  took
• 2:49
  Joseph
• 2:49
  to
• 2:49
  Egypt.
• 2:50
  When
• 2:50
  Ruben
• 2:50
  returned
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  the
• 2:51
  pit
• 2:51
  and
• 2:51
  saw
• 2:51
  that
• 2:51
  Joseph
• 2:52
  was
• 2:52
  not
• 2:52
  in
• 2:52
  the
• 2:52
  pit,
• 2:53
  he
• 2:53
  tore
• 2:53
  his
• 2:53
  clothes
• 2:54
  and
• 2:54
  returned
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  his
• 2:55
  brothers
• 2:55
  and
• 2:55
  said,
• 2:55
  the
• 2:56
  boy
• 2:56
  is
• 2:56
  gone
• 2:56
  and
• 2:57
  I,
• 2:57
  where
• 2:57
  shall
• 2:58
  I
• 2:58
  go?
• 2:59
  Then
• 2:59
  they
• 2:59
  took
• 2:59
  Joseph's
• 2:59
  robe
• 3:00
  and
• 3:00
  slaughtered
• 3:00
  a
• 3:00
  goat
• 3:01
  and
• 3:01
  dipped
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  robe
• 3:02
  in
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  blood
• 3:02
  and
• 3:03
  they
• 3:03
  sent
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  robe
• 3:03
  of
• 3:04
  many
• 3:04
  colors
• 3:04
  and
• 3:05
  brought
• 3:05
  it
• 3:05
  to
• 3:05
  their
• 3:05
  father
• 3:06
  and
• 3:06
  said,
• 3:06
  this,
• 3:07
  we
• 3:07
  have
• 3:07
  found,
• 3:07
  please
• 3:08
  identify
• 3:08
  whether
• 3:09
  it
• 3:09
  is
• 3:09
  your
• 3:09
  son's
• 3:09
  robe
• 3:09
  or
• 3:10
  not,
• 3:10
  and
• 3:10
  he
• 3:10
  identified
• 3:11
  it
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  said,
• 3:12
  it
• 3:12
  is
• 3:12
  my
• 3:12
  son's
• 3:13
  robe.
• 3:13
  A
• 3:13
  fierce
• 3:14
  animal
• 3:14
  has
• 3:14
  devoured
• 3:15
  him.
• 3:15
  Joseph
• 3:15
  is
• 3:16
  without
• 3:16
  doubt
• 3:16
  torn
• 3:17
  to
• 3:17
  pieces.
• 3:18
  Then
• 3:18
  Jacob
• 3:18
  tore
• 3:18
  his
• 3:18
  garments
• 3:19
  and
• 3:19
  put
• 3:19
  sackcloth
• 3:20
  on
• 3:20
  his
• 3:20
  loins
• 3:21
  and
• 3:21
  mourned
• 3:21
  for
• 3:21
  his
• 3:22
  son.
• 3:22
  Many
• 3:22
  days,
• 3:23
  all
• 3:23
  his
• 3:23
  sons
• 3:24
  and
• 3:24
  all
• 3:24
  his
• 3:24
  daughters
• 3:24
  rose
• 3:25
  up
• 3:25
  to
• 3:25
  comfort
• 3:25
  him,
• 3:26
  but
• 3:26
  he
• 3:26
  refused
• 3:27
  to
• 3:27
  be
• 3:27
  comforted.
• 3:28
  The
• 3:28
  code
• 3:29
  of
• 3:29
  many
• 3:29
  Colors
• 3:29
  represented
• 3:30
  that
• 3:30
  his
• 3:30
  father
• 3:30
  intended
• 3:31
  for
• 3:31
  him
• 3:31
  to
• 3:31
  be
• 3:31
  the
• 3:32
  future
• 3:32
  head
• 3:32
  of
• 3:32
  the
• 3:32
  household.
• 3:33
  And
• 3:33
  it's
• 3:33
  understandable
• 3:34
  why
• 3:34
  all
• 3:34
  of
• 3:35
  his
• 3:35
  older
• 3:35
  brothers
• 3:35
  would
• 3:35
  resent
• 3:36
  him
• 3:36
  for
• 3:36
  this.
• 3:37
  But
• 3:37
  remember,
• 3:37
  Joseph
• 3:38
  is
• 3:38
  the
• 3:38
  oldest
• 3:38
  son
• 3:38
  of
• 3:39
  Jacob's
• 3:39
  preferred
• 3:39
  wife,
• 3:40
  Rachel.
• 3:41
  When
• 3:41
  we
• 3:41
  think
• 3:41
  about
• 3:41
  Joseph
• 3:42
  sharing
• 3:42
  his
• 3:42
  dreams
• 3:42
  with
• 3:42
  his
• 3:43
  family,
• 3:43
  I
• 3:43
  definitely
• 3:44
  understand
• 3:45
  why
• 3:45
  this
• 3:45
  would've
• 3:45
  rubbed
• 3:45
  his
• 3:46
  brothers
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  wrong
• 3:46
  way,
• 3:47
  and
• 3:47
  do
• 3:47
  I
• 3:47
  think
• 3:47
  he
• 3:48
  was
• 3:48
  probably
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  pretty
• 3:48
  confident
• 3:49
  teenager?
• 3:50
  100%.
• 3:51
  But
• 3:51
  I
• 3:51
  also
• 3:52
  believe
• 3:52
  that
• 3:52
  this
• 3:53
  was
• 3:53
  exactly
• 3:54
  what
• 3:54
  God
• 3:54
  used
• 3:55
  to
• 3:55
  infuriate
• 3:56
  his
• 3:56
  brothers
• 3:56
  so
• 3:56
  much
• 3:57
  so
• 3:57
  that
• 3:57
  they
• 3:57
  would
• 3:58
  sell
• 3:58
  him
• 3:58
  into
• 3:58
  slavery,
• 3:59
  eventually
• 4:00
  rescuing
• 4:00
  his
• 4:00
  entire
• 4:01
  family
• 4:02
  from
• 4:02
  the
• 4:02
  coming
• 4:02
  famine.
• 4:03
  When
• 4:03
  I
• 4:03
  see
• 4:03
  dreams
• 4:04
  in
• 4:04
  scripture,
• 4:04
  it
• 4:04
  seems
• 4:05
  God
• 4:05
  either
• 4:05
  wants
• 4:05
  the
• 4:06
  person
• 4:06
  to
• 4:06
  act
• 4:06
  upon
• 4:07
  them,
• 4:07
  to
• 4:07
  interpret
• 4:08
  them
• 4:08
  or
• 4:09
  to
• 4:09
  record
• 4:09
  them
• 4:09
  because
• 4:10
  they're
• 4:10
  prophetic.
• 4:11
  And
• 4:11
  I
• 4:11
  believe
• 4:11
  God
• 4:11
  was
• 4:12
  calling
• 4:12
  Joseph
• 4:12
  to
• 4:12
  act.
• 4:13
  His
• 4:13
  intention
• 4:14
  was
• 4:14
  for
• 4:14
  Joseph
• 4:15
  to
• 4:15
  tell
• 4:15
  his
• 4:15
  brothers
• 4:16
  so
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  it
• 4:16
  would
• 4:16
  provoke
• 4:17
  them
• 4:17
  to
• 4:17
  a
• 4:17
  level
• 4:17
  of
• 4:18
  anger
• 4:18
  that
• 4:18
  would
• 4:18
  cause
• 4:19
  them
• 4:19
  to
• 4:19
  sell
• 4:19
  him
• 4:19
  to
• 4:20
  the
• 4:20
  coming
• 4:20
  caravan.
• 4:21
  It
• 4:21
  reminds
• 4:21
  me
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  the
• 4:22
  week
• 4:22
  before
• 4:22
  Jesus
• 4:22
  died,
• 4:23
  how
• 4:23
  he
• 4:23
  cleared
• 4:23
  the
• 4:24
  money
• 4:24
  changers
• 4:24
  tables
• 4:25
  in
• 4:25
  the
• 4:25
  temple
• 4:25
  and
• 4:25
  how
• 4:26
  he
• 4:26
  issued
• 4:26
  the
• 4:26
  seven
• 4:27
  woes
• 4:27
  to
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  Pharisees.
• 4:28
  He
• 4:28
  did
• 4:28
  all
• 4:28
  this
• 4:28
  in
• 4:29
  righteous
• 4:29
  anger,
• 4:30
  but
• 4:30
  God
• 4:30
  also
• 4:30
  used
• 4:31
  that
• 4:31
  to
• 4:31
  make
• 4:31
  them
• 4:31
  angry
• 4:32
  enough
• 4:32
  to
• 4:32
  crucify
• 4:33
  him.
• 4:33
  Joseph
• 4:34
  will
• 4:34
  not
• 4:34
  save
• 4:34
  his
• 4:35
  family
• 4:35
  spiritually,
• 4:36
  but
• 4:36
  he's
• 4:36
  going
• 4:36
  to
• 4:36
  save
• 4:37
  them
• 4:37
  physically,
• 4:37
  Maybe
• 4:38
  Joseph
• 4:38
  did
• 4:38
  share
• 4:39
  about
• 4:39
  his
• 4:39
  dreams
• 4:39
  and
• 4:39
  pride,
• 4:40
  but
• 4:40
  just
• 4:40
  because
• 4:41
  it
• 4:41
  bothered
• 4:41
  his
• 4:41
  brothers
• 4:42
  doesn't
• 4:42
  necessarily
• 4:43
  mean
• 4:43
  that
• 4:43
  he
• 4:43
  was
• 4:44
  wrong
• 4:44
  in
• 4:44
  speaking.
• 4:45
  Truth
• 4:45
  When
• 4:45
  Joseph
• 4:46
  arrives
• 4:46
  in
• 4:46
  Egypt
• 4:47
  and
• 4:47
  is
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  servant,
• 4:48
  he
• 4:48
  conducts
• 4:48
  himself
• 4:49
  with
• 4:49
  complete
• 4:50
  humility
• 4:50
  and
• 4:50
  integrity
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  doesn't
• 4:51
  take
• 4:52
  credit
• 4:52
  for
• 4:52
  any
• 4:52
  of
• 4:52
  the
• 4:53
  Lord's
• 4:53
  blessings.
• 4:54
  And
• 4:54
  that's
• 4:54
  why
• 4:54
  it
• 4:54
  makes
• 4:54
  me
• 4:55
  pause
• 4:55
  a
• 4:55
  bit
• 4:55
  here
• 4:55
  when
• 4:56
  others
• 4:56
  assume
• 4:56
  he's
• 4:56
  so
• 4:57
  full
• 4:57
  of
• 4:57
  pride.
• 4:58
  It's
• 4:58
  possible
• 4:59
  that
• 4:59
  the
• 4:59
  moment
• 4:59
  he
• 4:59
  was
• 4:59
  sold
• 5:00
  into
• 5:00
  slavery
• 5:00
  provided
• 5:01
  real
• 5:01
  clarity
• 5:02
  and
• 5:02
  repentance
• 5:03
  for
• 5:03
  him,
• 5:03
  But
• 5:03
  perhaps
• 5:04
  we're
• 5:04
  also
• 5:04
  assigning
• 5:05
  too
• 5:05
  much
• 5:05
  of
• 5:05
  a
• 5:05
  character
• 5:06
  trait
• 5:06
  to
• 5:06
  summon
• 5:07
  in
• 5:07
  scripture,
• 5:07
  and
• 5:07
  I
• 5:07
  think
• 5:08
  it's
• 5:08
  interesting
• 5:08
  to
• 5:08
  ponder.
• 5:09
  The
• 5:09
  sovereignty
• 5:10
  of
• 5:10
  God
• 5:10
  is
• 5:10
  on
• 5:10
  full
• 5:11
  display.
• 5:11
  In
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  story
• 5:12
  of
• 5:12
  Joseph.
• 5:12
  God
• 5:13
  sent
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  caravan
• 5:13
  before
• 5:14
  his
• 5:14
  brothers
• 5:15
  threw
• 5:15
  him
• 5:15
  into
• 5:15
  the
• 5:15
  pit,
• 5:16
  this
• 5:16
  is
• 5:16
  no
• 5:16
  accident.
• 5:17
  Ruben
• 5:18
  has
• 5:18
  an
• 5:18
  honorable
• 5:19
  moment
• 5:19
  trying
• 5:19
  to
• 5:19
  save
• 5:20
  Joseph,
• 5:20
  but
• 5:20
  he
• 5:20
  must
• 5:21
  have
• 5:21
  been
• 5:21
  away
• 5:21
  when
• 5:22
  his
• 5:22
  brothers
• 5:22
  actually
• 5:23
  decided
• 5:23
  to
• 5:23
  sell
• 5:23
  him.
• 5:24
  Did
• 5:24
  you
• 5:24
  notice
• 5:24
  that
• 5:24
  when
• 5:25
  they
• 5:25
  tore
• 5:25
  Joseph's
• 5:25
  robe,
• 5:26
  they
• 5:26
  put
• 5:26
  goat
• 5:26
  blood
• 5:27
  on
• 5:27
  it
• 5:27
  to
• 5:27
  deceive
• 5:27
  their
• 5:27
  father?
• 5:28
  Can
• 5:28
  you
• 5:29
  think
• 5:29
  of
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  time,
• 5:29
  a
• 5:29
  couple
• 5:30
  chapters
• 5:30
  ago.
• 5:30
  When
• 5:31
  a
• 5:31
  goat
• 5:31
  was
• 5:31
  used
• 5:31
  to
• 5:31
  deceive
• 5:32
  another
• 5:32
  father,
• 5:33
  Jacob
• 5:33
  himself
• 5:34
  used
• 5:34
  goat
• 5:34
  hair
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  deceive
• 5:35
  his
• 5:35
  father
• 5:36
  into
• 5:36
  blessing
• 5:36
  him,
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  now
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  deception
• 5:38
  comes
• 5:38
  for
• 5:38
  him.
• 5:39
  I
• 5:39
  once
• 5:40
  heard
• 5:40
  a
• 5:40
  pastor
• 5:40
  preach
• 5:41
  that
• 5:41
  this
• 5:41
  is
• 5:42
  evidence
• 5:42
  of
• 5:42
  a
• 5:42
  lie.
• 5:43
  His
• 5:43
  sons
• 5:43
  never
• 5:44
  said
• 5:44
  what
• 5:44
  happened
• 5:44
  to
• 5:45
  Joseph?
• 5:45
  He
• 5:46
  assumed,
• 5:47
  and
• 5:47
  it
• 5:47
  seems
• 5:47
  without
• 5:48
  questions
• 5:48
  or
• 5:48
  investigation.
• 5:49
  Israel
• 5:50
  assumes
• 5:50
  that
• 5:51
  his
• 5:51
  son
• 5:51
  is
• 5:51
  dead.
• 5:52
  There
• 5:52
  have
• 5:52
  been
• 5:52
  many
• 5:52
  times,
• 5:53
  especially
• 5:53
  in
• 5:53
  my
• 5:54
  motherhood,
• 5:54
  when
• 5:54
  I
• 5:54
  see
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  symptom
• 5:55
  or
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  sickness
• 5:56
  in
• 5:56
  one
• 5:56
  of
• 5:56
  my
• 5:56
  kids
• 5:57
  and
• 5:57
  my
• 5:57
  mind
• 5:58
  races
• 5:58
  and
• 5:59
  I
• 5:59
  have
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  remind
• 5:59
  myself
• 6:00
  of
• 6:00
  this

  story,
• 6:00
  how
• 6:01
  even
• 6:01
  when
• 6:02
  you
• 6:02
  have
• 6:02
  a
• 6:02
  really
• 6:02
  discouraging

  or

  frightful

  piece

  of

  information

  in

  front

  of

  you,
• 6:05
  that
• 6:06
  we
• 6:06
  can
• 6:06
  be
• 6:06
  careful
• 6:06
  to

  not

  think
• 6:07
  we
• 6:07
  have
• 6:07
  the
• 6:08
  whole
• 6:08
  story.
• 6:08
  With
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  Lord,
• 6:09
  there
• 6:09
  is
• 6:10
  hope.
• 6:10
  This
• 6:10
  was
• 6:10
  quite
• 6:11
  a
• 6:11
  deception
• 6:11
  for
• 6:11
  these
• 6:12
  brothers
• 6:12
  to
• 6:12
  pull
• 6:12
  off
• 6:12
  together
• 6:13
  and
• 6:13
  this
• 6:13
  secret
• 6:14
  will
• 6:14
  torment
• 6:14
  them
• 6:15
  for

  years
• 6:15
  to
• 6:15
  come.
• 6:16
  Chapter
• 6:16
  18
• 6:17
  has
• 6:17
  a
• 6:17
  meanwhile,
• 6:18
  Beck
• 6:18
  at
• 6:18
  the
• 6:18
  ranch
• 6:19
  flavor.
• 6:19
  It's
• 6:20
  known
• 6:20
  as
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  Judah
• 6:20
  Interlude,
• 6:21
  and
• 6:21
  it
• 6:21
  might
• 6:21
  feel
• 6:22
  a
• 6:22
  bit
• 6:22
  odd
• 6:22
  that
• 6:22
  it's
• 6:22
  inserted
• 6:23
  right
• 6:23
  in
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  middle
• 6:23
  of
• 6:23
  the
• 6:23
  Joseph
• 6:24
  narrative.
• 6:24
  But
• 6:24
  it
• 6:25
  actually
• 6:25
  builds
• 6:25
  suspense
• 6:26
  and
• 6:26
  gives
• 6:27
  time
• 6:27
  for
• 6:27
  Joseph's
• 6:27
  story
• 6:28
  to
• 6:28
  develop.
• 6:28
  But
• 6:28
  it
• 6:29
  also
• 6:29
  tells
• 6:29
  us
• 6:29
  more
• 6:30
  about
• 6:30
  how
• 6:30
  God
• 6:30
  will
• 6:30
  bless
• 6:31
  Abraham's
• 6:31
  line
• 6:32
  God
• 6:32
  uses
• 6:32
  Joseph
• 6:33
  to
• 6:33
  spare
• 6:33
  the
• 6:33
  family
• 6:33
  from
• 6:33
  the
• 6:34
  famine,
• 6:34
  but
• 6:34
  he
• 6:35
  will
• 6:35
  send
• 6:35
  the
• 6:35
  Messiah
• 6:36
  through
• 6:36
  Judas
• 6:36
  line.
• 6:37
  Ruben,
• 6:37
  Simeon
• 6:38
  and
• 6:38
  Levi
• 6:38
  have
• 6:38
  disqualified
• 6:39
  themselves
• 6:39
  for
• 6:39
  various
• 6:40
  reasons,
• 6:40
  and
• 6:40
  Judas
• 6:41
  character
• 6:42
  up
• 6:42
  to
• 6:42
  this
• 6:42
  point,
• 6:42
  and
• 6:43
  certainly
• 6:43
  in
• 6:43
  chapter
• 6:43
  38
• 6:44
  is
• 6:44
  anything
• 6:44
  but
• 6:44
  honorable.
• 6:45
  But
• 6:45
  it
• 6:45
  does
• 6:46
  seem
• 6:46
  that
• 6:46
  he
• 6:46
  has
• 6:46
  a
• 6:46
  turning
• 6:47
  point
• 6:47
  at
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  end
• 6:47
  of
• 6:48
  it.
• 6:48
  Spiritually,
• 6:48
  he's
• 6:49
  humbled,
• 6:49
  and
• 6:49
  in
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  rest
• 6:50
  of
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  chapters
• 6:51
  he'll
• 6:51
  be
• 6:51
  presented
• 6:52
  differently.
• 6:52
  It
• 6:52
  shows
• 6:53
  us,
• 6:53
  once
• 6:53
  again,
• 6:53
  God
• 6:54
  isn't
• 6:54
  looking
• 6:54
  for
• 6:54
  perfect
• 6:55
  people
• 6:55
  to
• 6:56
  use
• 6:56
  more
• 6:56
  so
• 6:57
  he's
• 6:57
  looking
• 6:57
  for
• 6:57
  repentant
• 6:58
  people
• 6:58
  who
• 6:59
  know
• 6:59
  they
• 6:59
  earn
• 6:59
  desperation
• 7:00
  of
• 7:00
  God's
• 7:01
  grace.
• 7:01
  That'll
• 7:02
  preach
• 7:02
  for
• 7:02
  our
• 7:02
  motherhood,
• 7:03
  won't
• 7:03
  it?
• 7:04
  We
• 7:04
  also
• 7:04
  see
• 7:04
  a
• 7:04
  juxtaposition
• 7:05
  of
• 7:05
  Judah.
• 7:06
  Definitely
• 7:06
  not
• 7:07
  walking
• 7:07
  in
• 7:07
  integrity,
• 7:08
  but
• 7:08
  when
• 7:08
  we
• 7:08
  come
• 7:08
  to
• 7:08
  chapter
• 7:09
  39,
• 7:09
  Joseph
• 7:10
  certainly
• 7:11
  is,
• 7:11
  and
• 7:11
  this
• 7:11
  chapter
• 7:12
  reminds
• 7:12
  us
• 7:12
  that
• 7:13
  even
• 7:13
  when
• 7:13
  things
• 7:14
  seem
• 7:14
  to
• 7:14
  be
• 7:14
  going
• 7:14
  horribly
• 7:15
  wrong,
• 7:16
  God
• 7:16
  can
• 7:16
  still
• 7:16
  bring
• 7:17
  good
• 7:17
  out
• 7:17
  of
• 7:17
  a
• 7:17
  circumstance.
• 7:18
  Chapter
• 7:19
  39
• 7:19
  is
• 7:19
  so
• 7:19
  encouraging
• 7:20
  when
• 7:20
  we're
• 7:20
  going
• 7:20
  through
• 7:21
  difficult
• 7:21
  times,
• 7:21
  and
• 7:22
  I
• 7:22
  encourage
• 7:22
  you
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  read
• 7:23
  it
• 7:23
  today.
• 7:23
  If
• 7:23
  you
• 7:23
  haven't
• 7:24
  already,
• 7:24
  I'll
• 7:24
  read
• 7:25
  just
• 7:25
  a
• 7:25
  few
• 7:25
  verses
• 7:25
  over
• 7:26
  you.
• 7:26
  Joseph
• 7:27
  had
• 7:27
  been
• 7:27
  sold
• 7:27
  into
• 7:27
  slavery
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  now
• 7:28
  he's
• 7:28
  serving
• 7:28
  in
• 7:29
  Potiphar's
• 7:29
  home.
• 7:29
  Verse
• 7:30
  two
• 7:30
  tells
• 7:30
  us
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  Lord
• 7:31
  was
• 7:32
  with
• 7:32
  Joseph.
• 7:33
  And
• 7:33
  he
• 7:33
  became
• 7:33
  a
• 7:33
  successful
• 7:34
  man
• 7:34
  and
• 7:35
  he
• 7:35
  was
• 7:35
  in
• 7:35
  the
• 7:35
  house
• 7:35
  of
• 7:35
  his
• 7:36
  Egyptian
• 7:36
  master.
• 7:37
  His
• 7:37
  master
• 7:37
  saw
• 7:38
  that
• 7:38
  the
• 7:38
  Lord
• 7:39
  was
• 7:39
  with
• 7:39
  him,
• 7:39
  and
• 7:40
  that
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  Lord
• 7:40
  caused
• 7:41
  all
• 7:41
  that
• 7:41
  he
• 7:41
  did
• 7:42
  to
• 7:42
  succeed
• 7:42
  in
• 7:42
  his
• 7:43
  hands.
• 7:43
  In
• 7:43
  verse
• 7:44
  five,
• 7:44
  the
• 7:44
  Lord
• 7:45
  blessed
• 7:45
  the
• 7:45
  Egyptian's
• 7:46
  house
• 7:46
  for
• 7:46
  Jacob's
• 7:46
  sake.
• 7:47
  The
• 7:47
  blessing
• 7:48
  of
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  Lord
• 7:48
  was
• 7:48
  on
• 7:48
  all
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  he
• 7:49
  had.
• 7:50
  Now,
• 7:50
  Potiphar's
• 7:50
  wife
• 7:51
  attempts
• 7:51
  to
• 7:51
  draw
• 7:51
  Joseph
• 7:52
  into
• 7:52
  temptation,
• 7:53
  and
• 7:53
  he
• 7:53
  passes
• 7:54
  the
• 7:54
  test
• 7:54
  with
• 7:54
  flying
• 7:55
  colors.
• 7:55
  But
• 7:55
  he
• 7:56
  is
• 7:56
  wrongly
• 7:56
  accused,
• 7:57
  even
• 7:57
  though
• 7:57
  he's
• 7:57
  walking
• 7:57
  with
• 7:58
  full
• 7:58
  integrity
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  honoring
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  Lord,
• 7:59
  he's
• 8:00
  thrown
• 8:00
  into
• 8:00
  prison.
• 8:00
  And
• 8:01
  verse
• 8:01
  21
• 8:01
  tells
• 8:01
  us,
• 8:02
  but
• 8:02
  the
• 8:02
  Lord
• 8:03
  was
• 8:03
  with
• 8:03
  Joseph
• 8:04
  and
• 8:04
  showed
• 8:04
  him
• 8:04
  steadfast
• 8:05
  love
• 8:05
  and
• 8:06
  gave
• 8:06
  him
• 8:06
  favor
• 8:06
  in
• 8:06
  the
• 8:07
  sight
• 8:07
  of
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  keeper
• 8:07
  of
• 8:07
  the
• 8:08
  prison.
• 8:08
  And
• 8:08
  then
• 8:08
  at
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  end
• 8:09
  because
• 8:10
  the
• 8:10
  Lord
• 8:10
  was
• 8:10
  with
• 8:11
  him
• 8:11
  and
• 8:11
  whatever
• 8:11
  he
• 8:12
  did,
• 8:12
  the
• 8:12
  Lord
• 8:12
  made
• 8:12
  it
• 8:12
  succeed
• 8:13
  even
• 8:14
  in
• 8:14
  a
• 8:14
  difficult
• 8:14
  circumstance.
• 8:15
  Even
• 8:16
  when
• 8:16
  it's
• 8:16
  not
• 8:16
  your
• 8:16
  fault
• 8:17
  that
• 8:17
  you're
• 8:17
  there,
• 8:17
  even
• 8:18
  when
• 8:18
  it's
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  result
• 8:19
  of
• 8:19
  someone
• 8:19
  else's
• 8:19
  sin,
• 8:20
  the
• 8:20
  Lord
• 8:20
  is
• 8:20
  with
• 8:21
  you.
• 8:21
  In
• 8:21
  chapter
• 8:22
  40,
• 8:22
  we
• 8:22
  hear
• 8:22
  more
• 8:22
  about
• 8:23
  what
• 8:23
  happens
• 8:23
  in
• 8:23
  prison,
• 8:24
  and
• 8:24
  Joseph
• 8:24
  interprets
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  dreams
• 8:25
  of
• 8:25
  the
• 8:26
  chief
• 8:26
  cupbearer
• 8:26
  and
• 8:26
  the
• 8:27
  chief
• 8:27
  baker,
• 8:27
  and
• 8:28
  at
• 8:28
  Pharaoh's
• 8:28
  birthday
• 8:28
  party,
• 8:29
  Joseph's
• 8:29
  interpretations
• 8:30
  come
• 8:30
  to
• 8:30
  pass.
• 8:31
  The
• 8:31
  Rosetta
• 8:31
  Stone
• 8:32
  has
• 8:32
  done
• 8:32
  a
• 8:32
  lot
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  confirm
• 8:33
  the
• 8:33
  validity
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  scripture,
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  it
• 8:35
  mentions
• 8:35
  Pharaoh's
• 8:35
  birthday
• 8:36
  and
• 8:36
  a
• 8:36
  pardoning.
• 8:37
  In
• 8:37
  chapter
• 8:38
  41,
• 8:38
  Pharaoh
• 8:38
  has
• 8:39
  dreams
• 8:39
  and
• 8:40
  the
• 8:40
  chief
• 8:40
  Cup.
• 8:40
  Bear
• 8:40
  remembers,
• 8:41
  oh
• 8:41
  yeah.
• 8:42
  Two
• 8:42
  years
• 8:42
  ago,
• 8:42
  there
• 8:42
  was
• 8:42
  a
• 8:43
  guy
• 8:43
  in
• 8:43
  prison
• 8:43
  able
• 8:44
  to
• 8:44
  interpret
• 8:44
  my
• 8:44
  dreams.
• 8:45
  In
• 8:45
  41
• 8:46
  14,
• 8:46
  scripture
• 8:47
  tells
• 8:47
  us
• 8:47
  that
• 8:47
  they
• 8:48
  quickly
• 8:48
  brought
• 8:49
  Joseph
• 8:49
  out
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  pit.
• 8:50
  He
• 8:50
  humbly
• 8:50
  says
• 8:51
  that
• 8:51
  only
• 8:51
  God
• 8:52
  can
• 8:52
  give
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  interpretation.
• 8:53
  Not
• 8:53
  only
• 8:53
  does
• 8:53
  he
• 8:54
  interpret
• 8:54
  the
• 8:54
  dreams,
• 8:54
  but
• 8:55
  he
• 8:55
  provides
• 8:55
  a
• 8:55
  really
• 8:56
  wise
• 8:56
  path
• 8:56
  forward.
• 8:57
  And
• 8:57
  Pharaoh
• 8:57
  elevates
• 8:58
  him
• 8:58
  to
• 8:58
  second
• 8:58
  in
• 8:58
  command.
• 8:59
  In
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  moment,
• 9:00
  he's
• 9:00
  vindicated,
• 9:01
  honored
• 9:02
  and
• 9:02
  elevated.
• 9:03
  It's
• 9:03
  been
• 9:03
  13
• 9:03
  years
• 9:04
  since
• 9:04
  his
• 9:04
  brother's
• 9:04
  betrayal,
• 9:05
  but
• 9:05
  God
• 9:05
  has
• 9:06
  been
• 9:06
  with
• 9:06
  him
• 9:06
  through
• 9:06
  it
• 9:06
  all,
• 9:07
  and
• 9:07
  God
• 9:07
  wasn't
• 9:08
  just
• 9:08
  with
• 9:08
  Joseph.
• 9:08
  He's
• 9:09
  with
• 9:09
  you
• 9:09
  too
• 9:09
  If
• 9:10
  you've
• 9:10
  accepted
• 9:10
  Jesus
• 9:11
  Christ
• 9:11
  as
• 9:11
  your
• 9:11
  savior.
• 9:12
  Let's
• 9:12
  pray.
• 9:13
  Heavenly
• 9:13
  Father,
• 9:14
  we
• 9:14
  thank
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  you
• 9:15
  are
• 9:15
  with
• 9:15
  us.
• 9:16
  I
• 9:16
  pray
• 9:16
  for
• 9:17
  endurance
• 9:17
  and
• 9:18
  joy
• 9:18
  in
• 9:18
  the
• 9:18
  mundane
• 9:19
  and
• 9:19
  that
• 9:19
  we
• 9:20
  would
• 9:20
  sense
• 9:20
  nearness.
• 9:21
  I
• 9:21
  pray
• 9:21
  you
• 9:21
  would
• 9:22
  help
• 9:22
  us
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  have
• 9:22
  eyes
• 9:22
  to
• 9:23
  see
• 9:23
  how
• 9:23
  you
• 9:23
  might
• 9:23
  be
• 9:23
  working,
• 9:24
  and
• 9:24
  that
• 9:25
  we
• 9:25
  would
• 9:25
  allow
• 9:25
  you
• 9:25
  to
• 9:25
  transform
• 9:26
  us
• 9:26
  through
• 9:27
  all
• 9:27
  of
• 9:27
  our
• 9:27
  circumstances
• 9:29
  guide
• 9:29
  us
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  walk
• 9:29
  in
• 9:30
  integrity
• 9:30
  whenever
• 9:31
  there's
• 9:31
  a
• 9:31
  hint
• 9:32
  of
• 9:32
  temptation,
• 9:32
  give
• 9:33
  us
• 9:33
  the
• 9:33
  strength
• 9:33
  to
• 9:34
  flee
• 9:34
  from
• 9:34
  it,
• 9:34
  just
• 9:35
  as
• 9:35
  Joseph
• 9:35
  did,
• 9:36
  and
• 9:36
  we
• 9:36
  pray
• 9:36
  this
• 9:36
  over
• 9:37
  our
• 9:37
  children
• 9:37
  as
• 9:37
  well,
• 9:38
  that
• 9:38
  you
• 9:38
  would
• 9:38
  hope
• 9:38
  their
• 9:39
  lives
• 9:39
  to
• 9:39
  be
• 9:39
  characterized
• 9:40
  by
• 9:40
  self-control
• 9:41
  and
• 9:41
  honor,
• 9:42
  and
• 9:42
  that
• 9:42
  you
• 9:42
  would
• 9:42
  protect
• 9:43
  them
• 9:43
  from
• 9:43
  being
• 9:43
  falsely
• 9:44
  accused.
• 9:45
  We
• 9:45
  thank
• 9:45
  you
• 9:45
  that
• 9:46
  most
• 9:46
  of
• 9:46
  us
• 9:46
  have
• 9:46
  plenty
• 9:47
  to
• 9:47
  eat,
• 9:47
  that
• 9:47
  we're
• 9:48
  not
• 9:48
  experiencing
• 9:48
  a
• 9:49
  famine
• 9:49
  like
• 9:49
  this.
• 9:50
  And
• 9:50
  Justice
• 9:50
  Joseph
• 9:51
  encouraged
• 9:51
  them
• 9:51
  to
• 9:51
  store
• 9:52
  up
• 9:52
  in
• 9:52
  times
• 9:52
  of
• 9:52
  plenty.
• 9:53
  Help
• 9:53
  us
• 9:53
  to
• 9:53
  honor
• 9:54
  you
• 9:54
  with
• 9:54
  the
• 9:54
  way
• 9:54
  we
• 9:54
  handle
• 9:55
  our
• 9:55
  resources
• 9:55
  and
• 9:55
  our
• 9:56
  blessings.
• 9:57
  In
• 9:57
  Jesus'
• 9:57
  name
• 9:57
  we
• 9:57
  pray.
• 9:58
  Amen.
