In the life of Joseph, we find a man who is chosen by God to enter help establish his Kingdom, even under the intense trials of famine, betrayal, and relocation. We saw how kingdom power flows from God the King, giving authority to His chosen representatives, which results in the power to accomplish God’s plans (aka. the Kingdom Triangle). As the story of the foundation of Israel continues to unfold, God’s people are saved through “a great deliverance,” & they find themselves safe & secure in the land of Egypt as Genesis concludes. We are told in Scripture that Israel is blessed and grows rapidly in Egypt, and that this results in great persecution at the hand of the Egyptians for the next 400 years. Now, enslaved in Egypt, God’s people cry out to God again, and He reveals Himself to a man named Moses. It is to the life of Moses that we will focus our daily reading this week, and discuss next time about Israel’s Captivity & Exodus from Egypt, as seen in the book of Exodus.
