Can we find such a one as this

Bible Reading: Genesis 41-42

Genesis 41:38 And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?

When a person is filled with the Spirit of God, people will recognize a difference. In Joseph's case the Pharaoh realized that Joseph had a wisdom that was beyond himself. In all his kingdom, the Pharaoh had not met anyone like Joseph.

It is God's intention for all his children to be men and women who are distinct and different in this world.

Titus 2:13-14 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

We are to be a peculiar people who are zealous of good works. When Pharaoh gave Joseph the opportunity, he did a good work with God's wisdom and God's plan.

The lost world will recognize a difference about the Christian. Christians should be the very best employees. They should be good students. They should be good neighbors and friends. Why? Because all of life is spiritual and God's Spirit empowers us to live for Christ in everyday circumstances.

Let God's Spirit have control of you today!

In Christ,
