Go to Joseph - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2025

So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.
Genesis 41:55

Go to Joseph
On earth there have been and still are many difficulties that trouble us. Some problems are not our own fault. With others, we have to admit that we personally caused them or are at least partly responsible for them.

This was the case in Egypt in the time of Joseph. A severe famine plagued the land. The people had nothing to eat and in their distress called on the government for help. Pharaoh – the ruler of Egypt at that time – gave them an impressive answer. It was short and simple: “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do”! Why was Joseph able to help? Because he had built up a large stockpile of food during the good, bountiful years that preceded the famine.

Joseph is a figure of Jesus Christ. When we are find ourselves in problems today that are overwhelming and that we cannot solve, the call to us is: “Go to the Lord Jesus!” “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

The Lord Jesus has a solution to our problems. He wants to be our Saviour and Helper! For us, too, it means: “Do what He tells you!” If we follow what He instructs us to do in the Bible, we will find the solution for our life here and for eternity.
