More Than a Coat, pt. 4 - The Test Before the Blessing

The story of Joseph changes drastically once he is freed from prison and made second only to the pharaoh. Next to his blessing, we see his brothers in the middle of trouble. In this passage we learn that, in the midst of the battle, we need to be looking beyond the “now”, learn from our circumstances and work with others to receive the blessing on the other side. Don’t let the battle leave you brainless. If we only have integrity when people haven't caused us offense, then we have favoritism. Treat those who have offended you with the same favor as those who have not. The midst of a battle is no time for an “I told you so.”See past the now, so you can get to the wow.
