Topic: Joseph’s Humility
Text: Genesis 41:12-16
12And there was there with us a young man, an Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard; and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams; to each man according to his dream he did interpret.
14Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon: and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh.
15And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is none that can interpret it: and I have heard say of thee, that thou canst understand a dream to interpret it.
16And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.
Key Verse: “And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is not in me: God shall give Pharaoh an answer of peace.” Genesis 41:16
Message
Boasting is when we brag about ourselves, making others feel small. Kids might do it for attention or to feel big. But boasting does not make us better – it can hurt others. Real confidence comes from knowing ourselves and being thankful for what we have.

What makes you boast or proud? Is it because you think you are good-looking? Or maybe because you have a beautiful voice and sing better than others? Do you feel proud because you are doing better in school than your classmates? Or because you have talents others don’t have? Whatever makes you boast shows you have not realized that everything you have is a gift from God. Joseph in our text, understood this. That is why he humbly gave credit to God for his ability to interpret dreams. You are called to be humble like Christ and to always show gratitude to God for all that you have.

Prayer for today: God, please help me to be humble and thank You for all that I have.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
