“Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer.”” Genesis 41:16
True Humility begins when we recognize all that we have, and are, comes from God. Joseph had dreams while growing up. He was familiar with that manner God had chosen to speak. He could have easily attributed this to himself; but he did not. When the Cupbearer and Baker had their dreams, what did he say? “Do not interpretations belong to God?” In the same vein, he now points Pharaoh to God.
God is the Creator of All Things; our bodies, our brains, our talents and abilities. He deserves all Glory! We rob Him when we assume that we can do something, apart from Him. May God show us this reality of Jesus Words, “without me, you can do nothing”!
