"Food in Egypt"
Genesis 42:1-20
Joseph remembered his dream about his brothers bowing down to him (37:6-9). Those dreams were coming true! As a young boy, Joseph was boastful about his dreams. As a man, he no longer flaunted his superior status. He did not feel the need to say, "I told you so." It was not yet time to reveal his identity, so he kept quiet. Sometimes it best for us to remain quiet, even when we would like to have the last word.
QUOTE OF THE DAY:
"Silence is sometimes better than speech, and speech sometimes than silence." - Euripides
