26 When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground. 27 And he inquired about their welfare and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?” 28 They said, “Your servant our father is well; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves. 29 And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, “Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me? God be gracious to you, my son!” 30 Then Joseph hurried out, for his compassion grew warm for his brother, and he sought a place to weep. And he entered his chamber and wept there. 31 Then he washed his face and came out. And controlling himself he said, “Serve the food.”
(Genesis 43:26-31 ESV)
The brothers brought the gift they had with them into the house when Joseph arrived and they bowed to him. He asked about there welfare, and whether their father was well and alive. They told him their father was alive. Joseph looked and say Benjamin with them and asked if he was the brother that had spoken of previously. Then Joseph left for his love for his brother grew and he needed to weep. When he had washed his face he came and commanded the food be served.
Should you be in a situation where you have done all you have been asked to do and are shown to have pleased the person you have been dealing with, may you be treated as well as the brothers in this story were treated by Joseph.
Heavenly Father, It was by your grace that Joseph’s brothers came to the land of Egypt to by provisions when there was famine in their homeland. It was also by your grace that Joseph had been sold to go there before them that when they came he would be reunited with them and give them the provisions they needed. May in or time Your grace provide for us as it did for Joseph’s brothers. I ask this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
