Genesis 50:25-26 - Staying strong in faith

Scripture:

Genesis 50:25-26
25 Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, "God will surely take care of you, and you shall carry my bones up from here."
26 So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years; and he was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.
NASU


Thoughts:

Joseph comes to the end of his life, still walking in faith.  Old age may have made him physically weak, but it did not remove his confidence in God.  He was still looking to the promise of God; Canaan, the Promised Land.

So how are we in this walk of faith, Christian?  Have years of walking in Christ lessened our faith in Him?  Have disappointment and discouragement weakened our zeal?  Have we grown used to the good things of God and lessened in our gratitude to Him?


Prayer:

Lord, I am inspired and humbled by Joseph.  Such a man of faith, to the very end!  Rekindle a fire in me.  A fire of belief in You.  A fire of joy, thankfulness, and faith.

Amen
