Governor of Egypt

Sold, framed, forgotten, then raised up. What they meant for evil, God meant for good. He's still in that business. Bring Him your pit. #Jesus

I remember when I stood before Pharaoh and said it plainly: it is not in me. God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. I was thirty. Everything after came from that.

I remember when Dad came down to Egypt. More than twenty years I'd been gone from him. I fell on his neck and wept there a good while. Some reunions you don't schedule. You just hold on

How I did it

How I got Egypt through seven years of famine: it was never my plan. Pharaoh dreamed. God shewed him what He was about to do. Seven years of plenty, then seven of famine. I only said so. The plan: a man discreet and wise set over the land, officers under him, and a fifth part of the land laid up…

Job description, day one: seven years of plenty, then seven of famine... The plan is simple — store a fifth of every harvest now. You can't stockpile in a famine; you stockpile in the plenty. God gave the dream. The storing is on me

I remember when ten brothers stood before me in Egypt and bowed, faces to the ground. They did not know me. I knew them. I remembered the dreams I shouldn't have told as a boy. God keeps words better than we do. 🌾

I remember when I charged them, at a hundred and ten: God will surely visit you, and ye shall carry up my bones from hence. I died in Egypt, but I never planned to stay. Some promises outlive the man who holds them. 🌾

I remember when I sent everyone out of the room and told my brothers who I was. I wept so loud the Egyptians heard. They were terrified. I told them: God did send me before you to preserve life.

I remember when I stood before Pharaoh and said it is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace. Thirty years old that day, fresh out of prison that morning. The pit was never the end of the story. 🌾

I remember when the butler walked out of prison and forgot me for two full years. I had asked him to remember me. He didn't. The LORD did. If you are waiting on a man, wait on God instead. 🌾

Dad made me a coat of many colours. My brothers are not speaking to me. Unrelated, probably.
