Genesis 46: 30: "And Israel said unto Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen thy face, because thou art yet alive." It had been about twenty-two years since Jacob had seen his son Joseph. For all those years he labored under the mistaken assumption that his son was dead. Now that he has seen Joseph, he is ready to die. The entire time that Jacob had given up hope, God was working behind the scenes, to Jacob that is, to bring Joseph into a place that He (God) could save a nation through him. The point is, never lose hope. Never give up. You rarely will know all that is happening. Trust in the Providence of God. He is at work. He doesn't slumber or sleep. Be hopeful.
