Acts 7:14
“And Joseph sent and summoned Jacob his father and all his kindred, seventy-five persons in all.”
This is the invitation from a son with power and authority to set them free, give them a home, and food. God’s plan was to bring this entire family from Canaan to Egypt, so an entire nation could grow here in this rich soil. This history lesson from Stephen to these people is to remind them, that worshiping God is not in a place or city, but in Spirit and Truth. Although Joseph’s path was hard, and difficult – being sold by his brothers into slavery, and then thrown in prison, God used it all for His good, perfect and pleasing will.
God’s way is higher
Than our way
And our God invites
Us to worship Him
In His way
Just as God intended to grow His people into a nation in the soil of lost-ness (Egypt) He invites us to His plan, His way, for His glory. Father God, thank You for forging the way forward and inviting me to join The Way, and walk with You. Help me to not focus on the earthly, but seek the heavenly, to seek first Your Kingdom, and Your plan, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God
