Joseph carries out his father’s desire to be buried in the place that Abraham had purchased. But the big thing for me in this chapter is the fear Joseph’s brothers lived in because of sin. Sin just bothers us even when we know God has forgiven us. We should learn from our sin, repent of our sins, and move on in God. But we beat ourselves up trying to regain missed opportunities and being fearful of future consequences. This is why it is always best to walk in the Spirit, and to avoid as much wrong as possible. On the other hand Joseph was at peace knowing he was in the place of God. Joseph knew he was where God wanted Him, and that God was at work in this situation. Live for God, and His glory, and you too can have this peace. Regardless of what is happening around you it is awesome to have peace knowing you are in God’s will.
