Your sheaves bowed to mine
I have always heard this downright lie that God blessed Joseph because he wanted Joseph to bless his people. What a sweet democratic dream. God would place you in a position for the soul reason of you reaching in your pocket and giving it away. Nice, but off. When I read about Joseph's dream, which was the start of all of this, I see that the dream said nothing about him helping his brothers. As a matter of fact, the dream said that he would rule over his brothers. Out of this rulership would come the grain in the famine. Joseph was not the salvation of his family, he was the salvation of Egypt. It was in him saving Egypt that his family was included. Joseph's mission in life was bigger than his family. It is stupid to think that God lifted your family members so you can have someone to pay your rent. Pay your own rent. Stand on your own two feet. God's purpose in my life is bigger than my family. I was called to the world. I like how his brothers had to submit to his rulership in order to get the blessing of Joseph. You will not take my money and despise my authority. You will not ask for my hand and refuse to come under my hand. I will not help someone I cannot chasten anymore.
