One of the most remarkable men in all of the Old Testament was Joseph. Dr. David Jeremiah considers Joseph to be one of only two Old Testament men in whom Scripture reveals no fault (the other is Jonathan). Joseph was hated by his brothers, a slave to Potiphar, wrongly sent to prison only to become one of the most powerful men in the world. Throughout his life, whether in the presence of his jealous brothers, as a slave to Potiphar, an inmate in the royal prison or advising the Pharaoh, scripture tells us that Joseph was blessed. Josephs obedience and faithfulness was always rewarded with these blessings, and Potiphar, the jailer and Pharaoh were all beneficiaries.
Just lately I have been the recipient of some wonderful blessings. As I have worked to be more diligent and faithful in my life and work, so I believe God is rewarding me by blessing my work with The Salvation Army. Now don't get me wrong...I am not suddenly the most perfect man. I am simply stepping forward in faith and am realizing that God does the rest.
