No one who trusts in you will ever be disgraced, but disgrace comes to those who try to deceive others.

Finally, Jacob said to Joseph, “Now I am ready to die since I have seen your face again and know you are still alive.”

Therefore, Pharaoh should find an intelligent and wise man and put him in charge of the entire land of Egypt.

Genesis 41:33 NLT

In a few moments, an “intelligent and wise man” will take the oath of office as president of the United States. God, not Pharaoh, put him there. He is our Joseph for these tough times and he needs our prayers. Thank God for good leadership. Thank God for President-elect Barack Hussein Obama.

Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I had a dream last night, and no one here can tell me what it means.

There is One who knows everything you need to succeed! Try Him!

Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.”

Wisdom is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. (Proverbs 3:15 NLT)

And to think, there are some who believe that their 401K will see them through these tough times.
