TFPC EM NEWSLETTER - FEBRUARY 15, 2023
Wednesday, February 15, 2023 at 9:30AM The Faith of Joseph
Today is February 15, 2023
Welcome to your mid-week!
Amongst all the great acts of faith by Joseph, the only one that is commended and mentioned in Hebrews 11 is him speaking of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and him giving the instructions concerning the burial of his bones to his people. And the reason this is an act of faith is because, at that time in Joseph's life,
things were good.
Joseph was wealthy and powerful...in Egypt.
Joseph was respected and had influence...in Egypt.
Joseph's family and people had acquired property and were fruitful and were increasing greatly in number...in Egypt.
For anyone else, leaving Egypt would not make sense.
But that is what Joseph believed would happen because Joseph knew that God wanted his people in the promise land. And, instead of fighting against it, Joseph welcomed it.
To still act in faith; trusting in God's promises, despite current success or comfort - that is the faith that Joseph shows and was commended for. And, ultimately, that is the type of faith we need to pass forward.
God's blessing upon you as you mediate on the faith of Joseph, and I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday.
