Weekly Challenge
Use repetition, observation, and meditation to learn and consider more about Joseph. Compare and contrast Joseph’s recorded responses to the Lord with Moses in Exodus 3. Interact with God’s Word and while you do, ask yourself, “Will I be a ‘wake up and do what God said’ kind of person or a ‘please pick someone else’ kind of person?”
