“Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do.” Genesis 41:55
So Joseph sets up centers for gathering grain in every city. The location is important—easy access for all the people.
The seven years of plenty came and went, and then the time of famine arrived. “When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, ‘Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do’” (41:55). The king did not say, “Go to the storehouses.” He said, “Go to Joseph! He is the one who has what you need. Joseph is the one who will open the storehouses and feed you.”
You read that and you hear the voice of Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor saying, “I am the bread of life, whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst” (John 6:35). “If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink” (7:37). “All that the Father gives to me will come to me and whoever comes to me I will never cast out” (6:37).
Go to Him to receive what you need. He has a storehouse of forgiveness, with enough to cover all your sins. He has a storehouse of strength, sufficient for you to stand and endure. He has a storehouse of wisdom, for all the perplexing decisions of life.
Jesus is the one who opens all the storehouses of grace! They are all His, and when you come to Him, He will make sure that you have all that you need.
Are you going to Jesus to receive all that you need—forgiveness, strength, wisdom, and grace? If not, what are you waiting for?
