Scripture:
“So Pharaoh asked them, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?”” Genesis 41:38 NIV
Observation:
Joseph had interpreted Pharaoh’s dreams and gave him instructions concerning what to do to prepare for the famine that was coming. Pharaoh looked around at all his wise men and thought about who could implement the plan Joseph gave. The Spirit of God was on Joseph, according to the Pharaoh. He was elevated in his position to be the most powerful man in Egypt because, even an ungodly man could recognize the Spirit of God was on his life.
Application:
When we walk in the Spirit and operate in the gifts of the Spirit, God will cause even our enemies to be amazed and to trust us. When we walk in humility, respect, and honor, people feel they can trust us. There was no selfish motive for Joseph in interpreting the dreams. He was simply doing what he was asked to do. When we walk as Spirit-empowered people, the world will see God’s hand on our lives and will trust us more and more.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, overflow my life. Fill me to capacity and overflowing. Let Your Spirit fall on my life until the ungodly recognize that You are with me. Let me walk in humility, character, respect, and honor like Joseph and then demonstrate Your power, wisdom, and love through my life. I am Yours.
Forever,
Jeff
