The Narrator *NEVER* Says This Kind of Thing
NEVER is a strong word and maybe overstates the case, but RARELY gets it just right.
The narrator in Genesis very very rarely comments on a character’s situation; the narrator shows and rarely tells.
When Joseph is sold into Egyptian slavery, however, the narrator makes a point of telling us that the Lord is with him—5 times in 6 verses!
I think the narrator wants it to be as clear as possible that though Joseph’s circumstances are difficult, that does NOT mean that the Lord is not with him in those circumstances.
What if the narrator of your life said the same thing about your circumstances? What if the Lord is DEFINITELY AND COMPLETELY WITH YOU TODAY?
Keep going.
