free Bulletin articles Bible Passage: Genesis 41:15-36

Sometimes things become so piled up that a person can’t find their way through life. Demands from the office, school, friends, church, and family sometimes look like mountains of commitments. There are times when we barely have enough energy to climb up a small hill, more less a mountain.

In our passage today, Pharaoh has had two dreams that no one can interpret. Then Joseph comes along and solves all the problems of Pharaoh. Joseph interprets the dreams (actually they are one dream says Joseph) correctly by telling Pharaoh that there are going to be some good times, then bad times, and that Pharaoh better be prepared. “Be Prepared” is not just a Boy Scout motto. It should be a theme that resounds throughout our entire life. Joseph told Pharaoh to be prepared and Pharaoh agreed with Joseph’s plan for preparedness.

I know it sounds un-American but we need to slow the pace of our lives. Either we can slow our lives down voluntarily or that slower pace will come upon us when we don’t want it to. I think this is where preparedness becomes important. Let us use our time more wisely. If there is something we know we’ll have to do tomorrow, do it today if possible. If there is work to do next week, get it done earlier. We won’t always have time to get ahead but when we do, take advantage of it. I think we all know the opposite of “getting ahead” and of course, that is “getting behind,” and that is not a pleasant feeling.

One day we will all be slowed down involuntarily. We will be slowed down by sickness to ourselves, our parents, our children. We’ll be slowed down by extra work projects, unforeseen emergencies, and other needs that come up from time to time. I say let us be proactive and “get ahead” so when we choose to slow down, we will be right on time.

Genesis 3

I once heard a wise preacher talk about Adam and Eve. He said they had the whole world in their hands, or in other words they had everything they would ever need and “they messed it all up on page three.”

Adam and Eve messed up things on page 3 - Sin entered the world I was thinking about my son earlier tonight. I thought to myself, “I have a very strong-willed child.” I know James Dobson wrote a bookabout a child like mine, but what about adults? There certainly are a lot of strong-willed adults. There are adults who rebel against authority of any type, especially the authority of God. There’s going to be some of us strong-willed adults going to heaven but we’ll be fighting all the way there. By that, I mean that God is trying everything he can to help us get to heaven, but strong-willed adults fight against God at most every turn. Strong Willed Adults want to do things our own way. You may have noticed that I put myself in the category of a strong willed adult.

To a certain degree, I try to do things my own way. God has his parameters and I stay within them but I always try to do things in the most difficult way. Are you like that too? God offers many doors of opportunity with each door meeting his acceptance. There are certain doors of opportunity that are just more difficult than others; those are the ones I choose to walk through. I’m a strong willed adult.

While we are not rebelling outright against God, we strong willed adults might make God wonder why we don’t do things the easier way. God loves us and there is no doubt about that. Let us take advantage of the easier way of doing things by submitting more to His will, His guidance, His word.
