Pharaoh recognized Joseph to be a man who had divine enablement, but he could have cared less who his “god” was. He was only concerned with finding a man who could do the job which needed to be done. Joseph was not promoted by Pharaoh (in human terms) because he was spiritual, but because he was skillful and knowledgeable.
God did not raise up a preacher nor a priest, but an administrator to deliver His people from extinction. Let us beware of categorizing occupations in such a way as to make some more spiritual than others. Everyone is a full-time minister in the Scriptures, but some are called to labor in one sphere while others are called to another.
Do you notice that God has brought about the deliverance of His people not through Judah, from whom Messiah would come, and not through Levi, through whom the priestly class would originate, but through Joseph, a slave who turned into an administrator?
Let God use you mightily to impact the world from the position where he has strategically placed you.
God bless you abundantly and make you a blessing to so many across the globe.
