"Am I in the Place of God?" - Conclusion

 For several years, Joseph had seen events unfolding just as Jehovah had foretold. Egypt was well into the prophesied seven years of plentiful harvest, and Joseph had overseen the storing of the nation's surplus grain.  During that time, he had fathered two boys by his wife, Asenath.  Still, his mind turned to his family hundreds of miles away-especially his younger brother Benjamin, and their dear father, Jacob. Joseph may have wondered if they were well and safe. Perhaps he wondered, too, if his older brothers had changed their violent ways of if he could ever heal the breach that had torn his family apart. 

If the peace of your family has ever been disrupted buy jealousy, betrayal, or hatred, you may have something in common with Joseph. What can we learn from Joseph's faith as he took care of his family?
