Reading Genesis 47:13-27 (NLT) ~ Joseph’s Leadership in the Famine~ Scripture reading followed by discussion. The continued blessings of God to those who surrender. The desperation of the people willing to sell themselves into slavery. Joseph’s leadership caring for the people, not being oppressive. Being distracted by the famine may cause you to miss what God is doing. Being willing to give up everything for the love of God, and entering the blessing, receiving the provision and security.
