Ephraim & Manasseh were born to Joseph & Asenath (Joseph’s Egyptian wife), Joseph was a foreigner in Egypt, yet he had gained a high position in Pharaoh’s court. Joseph’s father Jacob blessed Ephraim & Manasseh as adopted sons. —Gen 48:5 Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim & Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben & Simeon are. —
May we be blessed like Ephraim & Manasseh.”
Our journey is unique & our path to success is too! Don’t lose site of God whether in the pit, the prison or the palace.
Also, consider that what we each have is what we need & what we don’t have we simply don’t need!
Every person has a unique mission in life, & this must be recognized.
There is the secret to happiness hidden in the story of Joseph: Pity is the thief of joy. When we can overcome circumstances by trusting God. Not looking to the right or the left! Believing! —Gen 45:5 Now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. —
We are only pitiful if we are not happy with what we have. Remember The grass isn’t greener on the other side—it’s greener where you water it. This is key to being all we can be! With Spring here, many will plant seeds expecting a harvest! But it will not come without tending the weeds , watering & feeding processes. Trust God in the pit, prison or the palace! Love Mel
