GOD'S BUSINESS
Today's reading: Genesis 40-43

"And they replied, We both had bad dreams last night, but there is no one here to tell us what they mean. Interpreting dreams is God's business, Joseph replied, Tell me what you saw." Genesis 40:8 NLT

Joseph knew the wirings of the mind were outside his realm of knowledge.

But Joseph knew an Expert in the subject matter.

Joseph knew that getting inside another's head, or heart, was not a job for a mere human. Providing hope when desperation was all that was offered. Giving peace to troubled spirits. That was God's business.

But Joseph, sitting in a prison for something he hadn't done, knew God. Knew Him well. Knew Him intimately. Knew Him in the deepest core of his being. Joseph knew Him.

Do I know God well enough to be about His business? Oh no, not to be doing His job, but to be so closely involved with Him that I see Him at work and come along beside? Is His business my business? Are the hearts of men and women as much my calling as His? Is the disgust of sin as appalling to me as it is to Him? Do He and I share the values, goals and desires?

Whose business am I busying myself with?
