Lessons from Gen 44,45

Espeacially Joseph’s attitude & behavior gives lots of lessons to us.

Joseph said  “….ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.”(45:5)

1. Here’s ‘life’, whose is not only his father’s and brotehers’, but also Egyptians’ and their posterities
: children and grand children and great grand children and great great….

2. His thought is like this principle “Don’t think why you are in your current situation,
but what you can learn from your current situation”.

『７つの習慣』の原則でいうと、エジプトに売られたヨセフは大いに「主体性を発揮」した。
彼は奴隷として売られても、あらぬ疑いをかけられて罪人にされても、
落ち込むことはあったかもしれないが、どう感じるかは自分で決めて、常に前進した。
