“Then they sat down to eat. And looking up they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing gum, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry it down to Egypt. Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is it if we kill our brother and conceal his blood? Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And his brothers listened to him. Then Midianite traders passed by. And they drew Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. They took Joseph to Egypt.

Meanwhile the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.”

All,

This stands out because Moses says, “the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard.”  Have you had a Joseph experience before?  Being thrown into a pit and sold by your brothers seems about as bad as it gets. We know that God uses this to ultimately save Israel though. Are you in a pit right now and need some perspective of God’s plan?  Please pray that we and our friends always remember Romans 8:28. Please pray if YOU should lead a CLC group.  If you don’t, who will? Please call me and we can discuss over lunch or coffee.
