Genesis 37-50 – How To Be Successful
Both Joseph and Daniel teach us how to become successful. While we might want to point out their tenacity, don’t give up drive, intelligence, and unwillingness to take no for an answer, that is not how they succeeded. Here you go; make sure you right this down: First, become a slave of a foreign nation. Second, oh wait. Did you decide you didn’t want to be successful after all? In case you change your mind….Second, don’t try to be successful or even want to be. Just be faithful, willing to serve through God’s gifts; and let God take care of the rest, whether that leads to success or staying a slave.
