* Luís Alberto Alves
Egypt in the Christian's life only changes its name. For many it is a failed marriage, full of strife, intrigue, confusion, betrayal, addiction and even physical and verbal aggression. Experience that few people can resist, without giving up and throwing everything up.
When the Christian is in Egypt, few can see the blessings that God has in store for him. They visualize only the bad side of the situation. They become suspicious of the Lord's promises. Some try to resolve the situation in physical strength, because they have lost faith in Jesus.
They forget that God teaches us through suffering, as it is in the book of Job, chapter 36, verse 15, and uses affliction to open our eyes. Because in the bonanza, people despise the Lord's teachings, since they do not look to the blesser, only to blessings.
José's story draws attention because he has suffered all these hardships since he was a teenager, a difficult period for anyone, where he lacks the protection of his parents. His heart felt the sadness of being sold as a commodity and living in a strange land.
