With a death sentence on
his head
He made his way to an
unknown land.
The God of his father’s promised to be with him and to bring him back to
his father's land.
He worked hard for his
master in total sincerity,
Who cheated and tricked him from the start in every way possible.
But God was with him and
blessed everything he did.
In spite of being deceived
for twenty odd years.
He became the envy of
everyone in his master's home.
What with a a huge
family and animals in plenty,
He had become very, very
wealthy.
The God of his father’s
spoke to him again and made him remember his promise to him.
With no further delay
the family packed up and left before their master could find out that, he, with
his belongings had fled.
God made his master when
he caught up with him
To bless him and his
family and depart in peace from him.
When his brother came to
meet him with 400 men
He trembled for his life
But he too departed as a
friend.
God renamed him Israel brought
him to dwell in the Promised Land
And there he stayed for
many a year and only left from there to a foreign land when he was summoned by
his son.
The promise that God would
them back again to the Promised Land was passed on among his sons
Genesis 50:24Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)
24 Yosef said to his brothers, “I am dying. But God
will surely remember you and bring you up out of this land to the land which he
swore to Avraham, Yitz’chak and Ya‘akov.”
No matter what happens
in your life, God will surely remember his promises he made to you and bring
them about.
