Joseph was a man of unusual faith. At seventeen he was sold into slavery by his brothers. Talk about betrayal, that’s as bad as it gets. As a slave he is falsely accused of taking advantage of his employers wife; he’s thrown into prison for thirteen years. Why would a young man have faith in a God who allowed him to suffer so much. I would submit it was because he knew God. Before all this took place he had visions from God of his future position. He walked with God. He heard God’s voice. Jesus said that his sheep know him and hear His voice. God wants to be intimate with everyone; He wants you to hear His voice. The Bible tells us that if we seek God, we will find Him. We seek so many things in this life, all of them perishing. Relationship with Christ is everything; it is the one thing we can hold on to, depend upon in the end. We’ve all heard many voices; everyone’s trying to get our attention. They are seeking us. But hearing from God requires us to seek Him. When we find Him it is then we can endure all the hardships because we know He is real, a real God that loves us and is everything to us. I believe our faith is about to be tested and like Joseph we’ll make it through if while there is still time we’ve developed that intimate relationship with Him.
