God's ways are different from the ways of the world, as Messiah Yeshua explained. So why do we see Joseph, a man of God, apparently following the ways of the world when God put him in charge of Egypt's government?

Shabbat Shalom from Northeast Oklahoma.
Joseph told his brothers to be sure that Pharaoh knew they are shepherds. (Genesis 46:31-34) This was so Pharaoh would not want them to assimilate into Egyptian society. Egyptians didn't like shepherds. They didn't lie to Pharaoh, but the truth they told was strategically selective.
PEACE WITHOUT FEAR IN 2023!
When we ask YHVH Elohiym for peace in our lives, I think we want Him to help us, to just sit back and relax while He take away all our burdens. In actual fact, peace is found in motion, peace is found in an active state.
When we look at king David, as he is walking towards Goliath, I think the Israelite army was just hiding away in FEAR and trying to run away from Goliath, -- they were seeking after peace by hiding due to fear. They were seeking peace by staying stagnant. Where David was really the one moving in peace. YHVH has given all of us Fruit of the Spirit --- Love, Joy, PEACE…, Peace is a fruit but it has to be watered and peace grows when we are moving, when we are trusting YHVH Elohiym, when we are obedient and David is seen moving in the most radical peace ever when he is walking towards Goliath. Elohiym did not give us a spirit of fear. When David understood who he truly is, that YHVH has sent him on a mission, that Elohiym is with him and the Israelites -- that is why he is able to face his enemy.
YOU also have enemies out there. Your enemies could just be a diagnosis, could be a marriage problem, financial problem, it could be a trial, there could be something in front of you. Remember, fear is from hasatan. I promise you, you are actually going to receive the peace that is beyond understanding by facing that something head-on without doubts and without fear, because you are going to see the Peace of Elohiym in your life in the face of your Goliath. Start 2023 with faith in Elohiym and face your enemies, knowing that YHVH has your back and that everything you do with Him besides, in, behind and around you, will always work out in your best interest.
May 2023 the best year ever for all of you and your families, may you grow strong in Him and may He bless every move you make beyond expectations. Keep on forgiving, keep on praying for each other, encourage each other and make TTN the best place ever. Love you all in Yeshua Moshiach!

In Acts 3:17 Peter agreed with the words Yeshua spoke on the cross: "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do." Even after killing the Son of God, forgiveness was freely available to all who would repent. If God doesn't hold a grudge against those who killed his Son (including you!), you have no business holding a grudge against anyone either.
