Tuesday – Pentateuch

Reading – Genesis 44-45

Highlight Verse:

“When the palace manager caught up with the men, he spoke to them as he had been instructed.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭44‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Did you notice that Joseph had a right-hand man?

This man, known only as the palace manager, was a key player in Joseph’s method of bringing his brothers to a place of utter humility.

While his name is unknown, his character shines through.

He carries out Joseph’s directions to the letter, even reacting to the brothers’ responses like Joseph would have wanted.

To Joseph, this man was a huge blessing.

While it would be cool to have someone like that working for me, it is more important to me that I be someone like that.

The palace manager serves as a good example of a servant heart.

How great would it be to be that good of a servant to God?

• I want to be so close to God that I know instinctively how He would want me to react to those He wants to reach.

• I want my words and actions to be remembered even if my name is forgotten.

• I want my Master’s will to be done!

How do you think we can become like that servant?
What can you and I do to start along that path?
