Genesis 39-41

This week we'll pick up the last chapter (Genesis 39) from Lesson 13 in our Genesis study, and move directly into the first two chapters (Genesis 40 & 41) in Lesson 14. We are probably going a little faster than I would prefer, but working toward completion in time for the start of the fall schedule and our "Cultural Delimmas" church-wide curriculum, which will explore the fundamentals of our faith.

As we study the life of Joseph, I am struck by how well and consistently he lived according to God’s standard in the present. His life and future were in God’s hands, and he was at peace with that. Whether he was in the highest of worldly positions or in the lowest, his character and his desire to serve God faithfully was always the same. We should seek to pattern ourselves the same way. God often uses our “waiting” periods to prepare us for what he has in store next. We don’t need to know what that future is, in order to be sanctified and used by God today.
