January 26, Day 26

Today's Reading

Genesis. In today's passage, Joseph meets Pharaoh. Pharaoh was almost certainly the most powerful ruler in the world at the time. What do you think about their meeting and the results? I wonder if Pharaoh had received word from the dungeon about this Hebrew who managed with excellence.

Potiphar was the captain of the guard.  Surely he was in the room when Pharaoh appointed Joseph.  Do you think he believed Joseph all along, but had him put in jail to appease his wife?  I think so, because Potiphar was a shrewd judge of character.  He had seen the honor of Joseph and the duplicity of his wife, so he surely guessed what happened.

The next chapter describes Joseph facing his past. He puts his brothers to a test. I can only imagine the emotional upheaval he experienced.  Your thoughts?
