Joseph returned in Egypt


Genesis 50; 14 “And Joseph returned into Egypt, he, and his brethren, and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.”
When we face a crisis in our lives we often want the world to stop to allow us time to recover. If we have suffered a severe bereavement or set back then it is very hard to look around and see other people continuing their lives without a care in the world. How hard is it to attend the funeral of a dearly loved person and see other people laughing and, seemingly, enjoying their lives without a care in the world.? Joseph had to go back to Egypt after his father had died and continue to serve grain to everyone else so that they could survive as well. If we trust in God we can face these issues with security because we know that we have a secure future. We will be with the Lord Jesus Christ forever when all the trials and griefs of this world are over.
