I love how Joseph reveals who he is to his brothers. He does not blame them for the difficulties that they caused him but sees the hand of God in his life in bringing him to Egypt. His difficulties led to others being blessed. In chapters 48 and 49, the Lord reveals to each of the sons of Israel, a roadmap for their lives. Today we call these patriarchal blessings. One of the primary reasons we receive a patriarchal blessing is to help us more fully understand who we are as the posterity of Abraham and to recognize the responsibility that rests upon us. All of the quotes that I use in this video can be found at BrotherRMiller.org
