Continuation...
This morning in a conversation, mentioned briefly about being a true son but somehow it brought me to reply in the following manner: "one must know that to Him, to be able to find people to obey there are plenty but to find one who is able to rise and be able to anticipate what's in His heart and mind before He could even say..that would bring Him much pleasure and delight...."
As I pondered my above statement, I'm wondering where did that come from....but then as we talked I begin to understand what You're saying.
How true! to find people just merely obey and follow instructions there are plenty. I believe in Pothiphar's household there plenty of servants who would just run at his command and obey it. For Pothiphar to get people to obey his commands and serve him is not difficult but yet what is it that makes him to select Joseph in the midst of many?
Why Joseph? After all we are talking about him being appointed as an overseer of not just within but also at the field. Joseph must have really served his master well that his master could fully entrust with all he had. The master did not have to have fear of being betrayed, hurt or insecure.
Joseph must have served him well in a sense that he represented his master well. For a master, to be surrounded in the midst of many servants yet to be able to find one whom you know would take good care of the very things that's important and very dear to Your heart and carrying the master's heart is "rare". Just discovered this word "rare" this morning, never really thought that it could be applied on human! :D
You are surrounded by many sons but to find the one that would fully represent You well, carry very things, issues and lives that are dear, precious and important to You in theirs. The ones that would anticipate what's in Your heart and mind and rise to do it before You could say it that itself brings You much much pleasure and delight.
But then that has always been Your very intention right form the beginning. You breathe in all of You so that we could carry what You carry and be just like You. You want us to be sons who would operate in Your level of faith and attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. We can be like Christ and be Your "BEloved son, who You are well pleased with."
I believe Joseph could anticipate what was running through his master's heart and mind. Of all he rose to do it because there are plenty who wants to know Your heart and mind but not many wants to do it! Yes! I believe he grew in stature meaning "maturity". I also believed he represented his master well. There was no separate in identity only ONE which is of his master.
Talking about Joseph reminds me of Jesus. Jesus knew what's in the Father's heart and mind. He rose to fulfilled it too. His food is to do Your very will. Jesus himself grew in stature which means "maturity". The very maturity that He could fully represent You, the Father accurately. That's why, before He did anything or even ministry or 1st miracle, He was your BEloved Son first whom You are well pleased with."
So the BEING is important!!! The master saw the Lord was with Joseph. Meaning Joseph had the stature first then the master saw what God prosper what he did in his hand. So the BEING comes first before the DOING!!
BE the very true son first!!!
