Pharaoh and all his servans saw the wisdom in Joseph's wise word. He said to his servans there in the royal court: "Can another man be found like this one in whom there is the spirit of God?" To Joseph, he said: "Since God has caused you to know all this, there is non as discreet and wise as you. You will personally be over my house, and all my people will obey you implicityly. Only in my role as king will be greater than you."- GENESIS 41:38-41.
Pharaoh was as goiod as his word. Joseph was soon clothes in fine linen. Pharaoh gave him a gold necklace, a signet ring, a royal chariot, and full authorityto travel through the land and put his plan into effect. ( Genesis 41:42-44) Within the space of a day, then, Joseph went from prison to palace. He awoke a lowly convict, and he fell asleep as the ruler second to Pharaoh. How clear Joseph's faith in Jehovah God was justified! Jehovah saw all the injustices that his servant had suffered through the years. He addressed those issues at just the right time and in just the right way. Jehovah had in mind not only correcting the wrongs done to Joseph but also to preserving the future nation of Israel. We will see how tha twas so in a future article.
If you face a trialsome situation, perhaps and injustice that seems to drag on for years on end, do not despair, Remember Joseph. Because he never lost his kindness,his humility, his endurance, and his faith, he gave Jehovah ever reason to reward him in the end.
