Genesis 45:16-47:26 - When God Is With You
Main Idea: God’s active presence in your life will make a drastic difference in your inner person and outward actions.
(Gen. 45:16-46:30) Pharaoh has Joseph send his brothers to bring all of Joseph’s family to live in Egypt. Jacob is told by God to go and that He would be with him.
(Genesis 46:31-47:12) Joseph instructs his family to tell Pharaoh about their shepherding and livestock so they’ll be placed in the most fertile portion of Egypt (Goshen).
(Genesis 47:13-26) The Egyptians give all their money, livestock, land, and even freedom to Pharaoh for food, but they survive the famine and end up subject to lower taxation than other nations.
God being with you will change…
Your relationships with others.
Your purpose in your life.
Your persistent emotional state.
Your priorities in life.
Your story about yourself.
Your treatment of others.
