Genesis 37 -Joseph, Son #11, was hated by his brothers. Why? Jealousy. Jacob's favorite son. Jacob made him a coat of many colors, showing favoritism and that Joseph would be a great leader. Joseph had two dreams interpreted as confirmation that he would be a great leader over his family. Joseph's brothers planned to kill him, put his body in a pit, and tell Dad that a beast ate him. Reuben talked them out of killing him, but agreed to placing him in a pit so he could save him later. Later, Judah suggested they sell Joseph to the Ishmaelites. Genesis 37:36 - And the Midianites [used interchangeably with the Ishmaelites; half siblings; same Dad Abraham]; sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, and captain of the guard. Genesis 39:1-4 - Joseph was taken to Egypt. His master saw that the Lord was with him. The Lord made all in Joseph's hands prosper. Joseph was made overseer over all his master's house. Genesis 41:39-41 - And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art: Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou. And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt. Hated Brother. Put in a Pit. Twice Sold. The Lord was with him. No weapon formed against him prospered. Gift made room for him. He was promoted to be second only to the Pharaoh. We've all been a Joseph or Josephine before. Whether a 3yo in day care who was hated because she dressed like a princess every day, a college student who started a small business claiming she or he would one day have one of the biggest companies in the country, a Gospel singer who became known all over the world as the greatest, or a Youth who knew he would rise to be the Lead Usher at church. If we did not let the dream go, we stayed the course and went on to be victorious. We've all been in a group who recognized and targeted a Joseph or Josephine - that one person who stood out, for no reason of their own, by no calling of their own, but by God's doings. Joseph/Josephine: Called to be the best and brightest in the group. Unctioned by God to walk in the door that no one on the other side expected or wanted them to walk in. Called to be the best golfer. Thrust into the role of Club President. Gifted to be the anointed singer. Setup to be the Valedictorian. Selected to be the right hand of the leader. Wearer of the most beautiful natural crown of glory. Winner an expensive car. Offspring of the richest in the land. Anything others deemed glorious that one did not choose for themselves. The characters in Joseph's story: They. Reuben. Judah. The Ishmaelites/Midianites. Potiphar. Question: Of those characters, who have I/you/we chosen to be to the Joseph/Josephine we've met? They hated Jo and wanted to kill Jo with words, accusations, false stories, snubs, misinformation, deceptions, and detours leading them in the wrong direction. Reuben sought to spare Jo's life, rescue him, refute the lies, and restore Jo's character to the lead on the job, department, business, group, teacher, coach, etc. Judah wanted to keep his hands clean but also wanted to be rid of Jo. So, Judah passed the bad words, accusations and lies on to the next group so that group would carry out the hate and he kept blood off his hands. The Ishmaelites/Midianites were fine with purchasing Jo and treating him badly because they believed all the things they were told about Jo. Potiphar comes along and decides to take Jo off the Ish/Mid's hands and treat him like the pleasantly appealing person God has put in his heart that Jo is since the Ish/Mids seem to have had bad intentions for Jo. Apparently the Ish/Mids decided they didn't have the time/it wasn't in their plan to take on another person to enjoy mistreating at that particular time. Will we be a 'they' and try to kill Joseph's/Josephine's reputation in the office, school, family, social club, study group, college class, Senior Living tower, warehouse, salon, basketball/golf/running/exercise/friend group? Will we be a 'Reuben' and attempt to save Jo's reputation and livelihood? Will we be a 'Judah' and send Jo to someone else to be mistreated? Will we be a Ishmaelite/Midianite and offer to be the bad guy so a Judah won't have to be to one of his own? Will we be a 'Potiphar' who will gather Jo up, with the purpose of making Jo who Jo is destined to be by the company owner, the boss, the manager, the teacher, the Professor, the club President, the community, and God? When encountering a Joseph/Josephine, which character have you been or will you be? Illustration: freepik.com Books and Jewelry: www.etsy.com/shop/becmin
