1. Jesus was sent to Earth to proclaim the gospel of the kingdom. It is up to us to continue what He began, cooperating in the fulfillment of God’s will: Christ to be the head of all things. For this, the Lord seeks responsible stewards who diligently listen to His word and are ready to carry it out in due time (Matthew 9:35).
2. Throughout his life, Joseph was honed by managing Potiphar ‘s household and the prison, until he assumed the great responsibility of governing the nation. Similarly, even when we face difficulties, God uses those situations to teach and mature us, making us more useful in His work (Genesis 39 41).
3. Joseph was thirty years old when he assumed the governorship of Egypt. As we gain experience, the Lord may entrust us with greater responsibilities in His work. He calls people of all ages; however, those between thirty and fifty years old are usually better suited to assume such responsibilities (Numbers 4:3, 23, 30, 35, 39).
4. “If anyone still lives in Sodom, God will want to take him out of there. Everything will be destroyed. Loving comfort, business, or social position more than the Lord is a spiritual test. We may be numbed by the routine of life, but when Judgment Day arrives, there will be no more time. […] Therefore, let us live vigilantly and cling to the word” (Daily Food, book 8, week 2, Friday, p. 33).
