God Has Provided a Savior Genesis 47:13-28
Read Genesis 47:13-28. What caused this famine and how bad was it? How far into the famine are they? What role was Joseph playing and how did he get there?
What did Joseph do with the money the people paid for food? What does this show us about him and his leadership?
How does Joseph handle the statement of the people: “Our money is gone. Please give us food or we will die before your very eyes?”
After this plan, then what happened? What did Joseph suggest for them to be able to get more food? How did the people respond? Why was this acceptable?
How did Joseph provide a win-win situation so that there was not an uprising? Where did Joseph learn such leadership skills?
How was Pharaoh blessed by Joseph’s leadership? What was Joseph’s plan that would ensure the people having food, Pharaoh’s rule strengthened, and the people satisfied? Why do you think they reacted positively to being taxed 20%?
Read John 6:35. How are we needy for food and water? How has Jesus provided?
Read Matthew 16:24-26. What is to be our response to God’s provision for us in Jesus? What are we to give for this?
Prayer
Thank God for His providing Jesus as our Savior.
Recommit yourself to giving up all for Jesus.
