When Joseph was sold to slavery, he worked first for Potiphar, the jailer and finally the Pharaoh.
Because of the way things under his charge prospered, he was placed in charge of many things no matter where he went.
Anyone who reads this is bound to confess the blessedness of Joseph in their hearts. I too found it incredibly admirable of Joseph that everyone was vying to put him in-charge of their things.
And my heart fell because I thought about myself.
I remember how I was unwilling and unhappy to be selected to lead the fellowship.
I also remember how I repeatedly turned down the professors when they asked me to consider presidency in hall.
I had not considered them an honour and privilege. I saw them as burdens, not as blessings from God.
Make me give thanks for the things you have placed me in charge of. Make me diligent as Joseph was and bless the work of my hands.
