January 28th -- Genesis 50 THE FAITH OF JOSEPH |
||||||||||||||
HIDDEN away from human knowledge, in far-off Shechem, still rest the remains of a great man of God. He lived, as few others have ever lived, a God-centred life. Humbly he acquiesced in many an undeserved hardship. His faith in the ways of God's providence never faltered. In everything his unfailing philosophy was: "God knows best!"Was there ever a servant of God with a more forgiving nature? You who read of all the good and ill that befell him, and of the noble spirit with which he met every testing situation, spare a minute to ponder his fine example and to thank God for the inspiration he imparts to your own life.Especially learn from him faith in God's Promises concerning the Land -- "Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the Children of Israel". Learn also faith in the eternal Purpose in Christ which will one day bring saints of God forth from the grave to the Life Everlasting -- "he gave commandment concerning his bones." Here was the Christian faith long before Christ, exhibited in the Jesus of Genesis, and written for your learning HARRY WHITTAKER, Joseph the Saviour, page 89 |
