In September 2010, a single security was turned over to the Missouri Treasurer’s office as unclaimed property. The staff identified it as highly valuable and searched for the rightful owner. When they found her—a Kansas City woman who wished to remain anonymous—she had no idea she’d inherited it and asked them to sell it for her. One year later, she received a check for its value, an astonishing $6.1 million! Imagine how welcome that money must have been, especially when it came as a surprise! You probably agree that working for money may not be exactly thrilling. After all, no one refers to their paycheck as a treasure. Part of the image of treasure in the Bible is that it is found or gained unexpectedly. That was certainly the case in today’s narrative. Joseph’s brothers had returned to Egypt because times were desperate. The family needed food. They brought double the silver to replace the money that had mysteriously appeared in their luggage after their first visit. They also brought gifts, in case the authorities were angry or offended about that incident. Unexpectedly, they were received as honored guests and served a special meal at Joseph’s house. Unnerved by the gracious reception, they spoke privately with Joseph’s steward, who assured them he’d received their previous payment and nothing was wrong. He even assured them, “Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks” (v. 23). How much had he been told or observed? How much did he know of Joseph’s faith? Giving credit to God’s sovereignty is one of the key themes in the life of Joseph, who affirmed the same truth: “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives” (Gen. 50:20).
