Joseph and Work

I heard a sermon the other day (08/13/2006) about Joseph and promotions. The preacher, Greg Gilbaugh, draws three principles from Joseph's life concerning promotions.

1. Promotions are in God's control and not your control.


2. God uses waiting to develop character. Notice that Joseph had to wait 2 years before the cupbearer remembered to tell Pharoah about Joseph.


3. God will promote you to fulfill his purposes and not just to satisfy you.
