Explanation:
Daily Meditation, day 10 of 31 days of the month of January, we will study and meditate on the scriptures relating to our topic ‘The God of mercy and favour’ – The Lord showed mercy to Joseph.
The story of Joseph’s life while he was sold to slavery, while in the prison and later became the Prime Minister of Egypt speaks well of God’s mercy. Without the mercy of God, it is practically impossible for a slave to become a Prime Minister in Egypt. Bible tells us how important the mercy of God to us as His anointed one.
God’s mercy is tied to his covenant often refer to as the Covenant of mercy. God can give mercy to anyone He chooses. The mercy of God can exonerate someone from judgement.
Then Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison. 21 But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison. 22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison; whatever they did there, it was his doing. 23 The keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph’s authority, because the Lord was with him; and whatever he did, the Lord made it prosper.
(Genesis 39:20 – 23).
Let us meditate on these scriptures:
Great deliverance He gives to His king, And shows mercy to His anointed, To David and his descendants forevermore. (Psalm 18:50).
