The recession and regression of any society are always an indication of how poorly the citizens of that country understand the value of time.

There is no indication that God explained to Joseph what He was doing through those many years of heartache or how the pieces would eventually fit together. He had no ways of knowing that he would eventually enjoy a triumphal reunion with his family. He was expected, as you and I are, to live out his life one day at a time in something less than complete understanding. What pleased God was Joseph’s faithfulness when nothing made sense.

It is a sign of intellectual maturity to always crawl to conclusions.
