Genesis 41: 39: "Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, 'Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.'"Joseph interprets the dream and informs Pharaoh that there will seven years of abundance followed by seven years of famine. Joseph tells Pharaoh to find a "discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt." Pharaoh has no difficulty selecting such a man, it will be Joseph. Humility is important in picking leaders. In fact, the best man for the job is the one that doesn't want it. Moses didn't want the responsibility of leading the Israelites out of bondage. Gideon didn't want to battle the Midianites. When people are humble and don't want advancement, they are prime candidates in God's eyes. Whether you are chosen to have a major part in a move of God, or just moving the trash to the curb, know that if you are humble, God will promote you to where you are supposed to be. Be humble and wait.
