| Unit 2 Devotion Read Genesis 39 and the account of Joseph being sold into slavery. In the Maxwell Leadership Bible, also read the study note on page 49: The Law of Solid Ground: Joseph Earns Trust. Discuss the likely culture shock Joseph encountered as he was taken from his family to a life of slavery. Describe how Joseph was able to gain the trust of those with whom he interacted, despite obvious cultural differences? What was the common theme in Joseph’s approach to dealing with others, even in the most challenging circumstances? Review Joel 1:1-20 and explore ways in which God communicates with His people. Consider what Proverbs 18 says about communication, especially listening and one-sided communication.v |
