Matthew 23:12
Have you ever wondered if humility really makes a difference? Joseph’s story shows that it does. Though once a slave and prisoner, Joseph's humility and trust in God’s wisdom elevated him to Egypt’s second-in-command. Joseph didn’t promote himself. Instead, he relied on God’s guidance, and in due time, God exalted him (Matthew 23:12). His leadership during Egypt’s abundance and famine saved countless lives. Joseph’s story reminds us that when we walk humbly and serve faithfully, God’s favor can lift us beyond our expectations. In a world that values self-promotion, choose humility. Trust that God’s timing and purpose will lead to your exaltation, just as He did for Joseph.
