Episode 18 - The Joseph Series: Peace Amid the Famine (Genesis 47:1-27 NIV)
Manage episode 480215107 series 3655042
God provides peace and provision even amidst the worst calamities when we seek Him as our provider. The story of Joseph securing the land of Goshen for his family demonstrates God's faithfulness during times of widespread famine and desperation.
This quick episode covers:
• Joseph strategically identifies his family as shepherds to secure the best land in Goshen
• Pharaoh honors Joseph by giving his family choice property and positions
• The Israelites experience peace while those around them sell everything for survival
• Jacob describes his 130 years as a "pilgrimage" with ups and downs
• Our personal pilgrimages, like Jacob's, will have challenges but God's promises remain
• We can stand on God's promises for provision during difficult seasons
• Finding ourselves in these biblical stories helps us apply God's truth to our lives
