* Luís Alberto Alves
I am not talking about someone far from the Lord, but about a person who received Jesus for lunch and dinner at his home. I knew Jesus personally, not from hearing about him. Even so, Marta did not believe that her brother Lazarus would live again.
And when Jesus asked for the stone to be removed, Martha warned the Master that Lazarus' body would already have a bad smell, since he had been buried for four days. Realize that this line is of someone who lived with Jesus and knew that He had the power for the dead to revive.
In Joseph's case, he never had any doubt that God was at his side, even in the terrible moments he spent in prison, unjustly. He endured the longing for his family. He did not see his parents for 13 years. In a strange land, where strange gods were worshiped. I was alone!
How many times have we lived this way too. Sometimes inside our home, where many of the family do not serve Jesus. We are humbled by worshiping the Lord, trusting His Provision. It is Egypt that many Christians face, which only changes its name.
