1. By placing Joseph in a position of authority in Egypt, Pharaoh gave him a ring, robes, and a gold necklace. These items represent the gifts that Christ received in ascension and bestowed upon the church. The gold necklace points to obedience when the Lord speaks. Christ is our example in this respect. When we hear God’s voice, we should be attentive and ready to respond immediately (Ephesians 4:8; Acts 5:32; Proverbs 1:8-9).
2. The signet ring that Pharaoh gave to Joseph functioned as a seal or signature, indicating authority. Similarly, Jesus received all authority in heaven and on Earth and entrusted it to the church. We have, so to speak, His seal on our hand to proclaim the gospel to all nations. No force of evil is above our Lord; therefore, let us not fear principalities or spiritual powers (Matthew 28:18-20; Hebrews 2:9; Ephesians 1:20).
3. The fine linen garments represent our justification before God, accomplished through Christ’s work on the cross, and the organic transformation that manifests itself in our lives as we are filled with the life of the Lord. God found us and saved us, and since then we have been in a process of refinement, symbolized by these garments, until we are prepared to reign with Christ (1 Corinthians 1:30; Psalm 45:13-15; Revelation 19:7-9).
4. “Lot was a righteous man, but the environment in which he lived led him to experience great affliction, and his ambitions forced him to live in an environment of extreme corruption. Is it worth it? Never stray from Abraham. If there has been any distancing, return immediately. Being close to Abraham is equivalent to being close to the word, that is, it is being close to the blessing” ( Daily Food , book 8, week 3, Wednesday, p. 29 ).
