I want to continue these pictures
of Old Testament pictures of Christ and use Joseph again.
Now we know Joseph has been severely, severely tried. I mean from the
time he was 17 years old. It tells us he was 17 when he
was sent out to look for his brothers. And he was taken down
into Egypt when he was 17. 17 years old. And he was so severely tried. Remember last time we brought
a message, he was in prison. They put him down in prison.
And he was took down there through no fault of his own. He didn't
do anything. Potiphar's wife laid on him. What was that? The speaker popped. Is that what the speaker popped? Did it? Is that what it was?
I don't know why. Huh? I don't know why. Huh. Well. But anyway, his
brethren hated him. They hated him. They hated him
for the words that he said. They hated him for the love that
his father bore him. Potiphar's wife, she lied on
him. And then he was put in prison.
He was put, the butler and the king's butler, Pharaoh's butler
and Pharaoh's baker was put in there with him, numbered with
the transgressor. And those two men had some dreams. And Joseph interpreted their
dreams and told them that the butler would be put back in his
place and the baker would be hanged. Well, the butler, the
last thing that Joseph asked him in Genesis, let me find it here. Yeah, down
in verse 14 of chapter 40, look what he says here. After Pharaoh
took the butler back up, put him back in his Let him take
care of the Pharaoh. But Joseph said to this butler,
but think on me when it shall be well with thee and show kindness.
I pray thee unto me and make mention of me unto Pharaoh and
bring me out of this house. Well, it said two years had passed. Two years had passed and here
he is. Joseph still in prison. The butler
forgot him. The butler didn't remember him.
You know the first time you find the word remember in the Bible,
God said that God remembered Noah. Second time it's found
in the Bible is that God said, I remember the covenant that
I made with thee. And then the first time you have
anybody forgetting anybody when they're asked to be remembered
is Joseph and the butler didn't remember Joseph. God remembers
his people. But this butler after all the
wonderful things that Joseph told him and how he's going to
be lifted back up and set back into the presence of Pharaoh
to wait on Pharaoh. He said, remember me when you
get up there, make mention of me. Please make mention of me. And now, when these trials, he's
been severely trialed, sold as a slave, put in a house and the
woman lied on him, he's put in prison, there for no fault of
his own. His brethren hated him, despised
him, lied to their father about him. And we can view our trials
in two different ways. We can view them in two different
ways. And we're all going to be tried. Just as sure as God's
on His throne, we go through trials. God's ordered our trials
for us. Think it not strange concerning
the five trials. But there's two ways we can view
our trials. We can view them from the human
side. What people do to us. Joseph's suffering, if you view
it from the human side, Joseph's suffering was because of the
lie of Potiphar's wife. The ingratitude of the butler
and his brother's hatred. You could view it from that side.
You could view however you go through life and what goes on
to you is what somebody else does to you. And find out what
they did and all the trouble that goes on because of something
somebody else did. Or then you can view it from
the spiritual side. And that means that your trial
comes from the hand of your Father. It comes from God Himself. And
I tell you, to me, that's the only way to look at trials. You
know, the Lord had sent him into Egypt. God sent him into Egypt. And he was being trained. God
put him in school, and it was a hard school he had to go through.
He was being trained, he was being prepared for the great
work. that God had set before Him. It's like our Lord Jesus
Christ when He came into this world. He came in as an infant
and He grew up, but yet He knew beforehand all the sufferings
that He'd have to do and what He'd have to go through. And
how we look at our trials make all the difference in the world
as how we act and how we react to our trials. Now if you look
at it just strictly from the human side, it's going to cause
turmoil, bitterness, anger. But if you look at it from the
side of God, and all the good, everything that comes to us comes
from the hand of God. I mean all of our trials come
from the hand of God. That will create peace. That
will create satisfaction, that will create patience, and that
will create worship, and that will create calling on God and
looking to Him for all things, for the strength to go through
it. So the king of Egypt here had dreamed two dreams. He called
the magicians and the wise men out of Egypt to help him interpret
these dreams. And then the chief butler, the
chief butler remembered, he said, oh my, I remember there was a Hebrew
slave down there and he told me and another baker all of our
future so Pharaoh sit down to the prison and had Joseph brought
up and brought up immediately 13 years had passed since he
had been down in Egypt so now this man is 30 years old, same
time our Lord Jesus Christ entered into the ministry. And here's
the first thing I want us to look at. The King's hand is in
the heart, the King's heart is in the hand of the Lord, and
he turneth it wheresoever he will, just like the rivers of
water. Now why did this King dream these
dreams? Why did he dream them when he
dreamed them? Huh? And why did he dream what he
dreamed? I'll tell you why. It was because it was time for
Joseph to come up out of prison. God uses some strange means to
get to his people. So why did this king, this man
have all these two dreams and nobody could interpret them for
him because it was time. For Joseph to be delivered from
prison and not only be delivered from prison to be exalted and
said way way up And CH Macintosh said this the most trivial the
most important The most likely and the most unlikely circumstances
are all made to minister to the unfolding of God's purpose in
this world. I don't care how trivial or minute
or how big or how great it may be. It's just unfolding God's
purpose in this world. And that's what's happening here
with this king and his dreams. You know, even Satan is an instrument
in God's hands. He can't do anything unless God
lets him do it. And the angels are in the, and
the principalities are in God's hands. You remember when Satan
was going to and fro, in Job chapter 1, God said, who, what
are you looking for, Satan? And he said, I'm looking for
whom I may devour. And he said, oh, that's my servant
Job, perfect, said turn me loose on him, he'll cut you to your
face. Didn't do it. Went back a second time, take
the hedge around him, and then he will. I done that. And I was reading today, that
Gadarean maniac, when they went over to the land of Gadareans,
when our Lord Jesus stepped off that boat and stepped on the
land, that Gadarean maniac come rushing to him, come rushing
to Christ. Here was a man that was living
in the tombs and he'd take stones and rocks and cut himself. And
he screamed and cried all the time. Now if he was somebody
like that today, they would have him in an insane asylum, in a
state insane asylum somewhere, and have him in a straitjacket.
But they couldn't put this man, nobody could tangle him, nobody
could chain him, nobody could bind him. But he come running
to the Lord Jesus Christ and those demons started speaking.
And our Lord Jesus Christ told them, shut up! And then he said,
now what is your name? He said, we're legion because
we're many. And he said, did you come to
torment us? You're going to put us back in hell where we come
from? Is that what you're going to do? Send us back to torment? And them demons asked him, there
was 2,000 herd of hogs running around there. And he said, if you would, would
you let us go into this herd of swine? He said, okay, you
can go there. But they could not get out of
that man, they could not go anywhere until Christ told them they could
do it. I've seen a few people like that
over my lifetime. And that's why when Simon Peter
said, when our Lord told Simon Peter, Satan has sought to sift
you as wheat. And He did sift him as wheat,
but I prayed for you. When He does sift you and He
puts you in the crucible, He said, I prayed for you and your
faith fell not. That's the only reason your faith
didn't fail you, because I prayed for you. And so we see that the
King's heart is in the hand of the Lord as the rivers of water.
He turns them to wherever He wants to. And so He did all these
dreams for one purpose, to bring Joseph up. Bring Joseph up. And
I tell you what, the wisdom of this world is foolishness with
God. Oh my, it's foolishness with
God. Look over here, I believe it's
in verse 8. Oh, the wisdom of this world
is foolishness with God. You know, He said, He came to
pass in the morning by the spirit of trouble and He sent and called
for all the magicians of Egypt. All of them. I mean, they're
everywhere. And all the wise men there are. Pharaoh told him
his dream, but nobody could interpret him. Here's the greatest country
on earth, and there wasn't anybody in that kingdom that could help
him. He wouldn't call the wisest, he wouldn't call the smartest,
he wouldn't call the magicians, he wouldn't call everybody that
could help him in any way. And I tell you, they couldn't
do a thing for Him. I tell you what, the world and
its wisdom cannot do anything for its own self or anybody else. The world can't do it. They can't
help themselves or anybody else. And I'm telling you, beloved,
this is an idolatrous people, a heathen people. And Egypt is
a type of the world. And Psalmist David said, Thou,
told about God, Thou art the fountain of life. And it's in
your light that we see light. And these magicians and wise
men were impotent. And Pharaoh's made to feel how
weak and frail he is, dependent on the arm of the flesh. Nobody
can help him. You know what man's wisdom is
at it's best. You read Isaiah 44 when you get
home or tomorrow. And I tell you what you'll read.
A fella goes out and he gets him a saw and he cuts him down
a big tree. And he takes that tree and he
cuts him off two or three pieces of it. And he goes to whittling
on it, and whittling on it, and whittling on it. He gets him
a god and he sets him up here. And he wills him another god
and he sets him over here. This one here and that one there
is two different things. And then he takes the rest of
that and he goes over here and puts it in the fireplace so it
would stay good and warm. And then he takes some of it
and puts it in the oven to bake bread with. He said, he feeds on ashes and
goes to hell with a lie in his right hand. That's man at his
best. He puts these two gods up here
and what the food, the wood is left over, he eats himself and
makes his food with. So I tell you, what was that
them idols going to do for him? They ain't got sin. Listen, Barnard, you said man
outside of Christ, he's insane. And I think that may be about
right. They ain't got no sins, I know
that. And oh my! And Joseph, Joseph was the only
one that had the true wisdom and the light and the understanding. Look what it says down in verse
16. And Joseph answered Pharaoh,
saying, It's not in me. It's not in me. It's not in my
power. It's not in my ability. God shall give Pharaoh an answer
of peace. God will do it. God will do it.
You know, what can the best of the world
know? You know, I tell you what, the presidents and all these
fellows, they get the best brains that's in America, all over the
world. They get all together trying
to figure out how to deal with something. How are we going to
deal with this? And how are we going to deal
with that? And how are we going to deal with this? And how are we going to
deal with that? And they all sit there, and beloved, when it's
all said and done, they can't do anything to change nothing. They ain't going to stop no disease.
They can't save an economy. They can't save a soul. They
can't do nothing for nobody. And yet they think they're the
best that the world's got to offer. Why don't they go to somebody
like Joseph, go to somebody like Christ, and why don't all of
them get together and say, I'll tell you what let's do. Let's
all repent and go before Christ and say, God forgive us for Christ's
sake and give us some wisdom so we'll know what to do. But
they ain't gonna do that. You know why? Because he'd get
the glory and they'd go share their glory. Hey, they like their
glory too much. They like their bag of dosha.
They like their ideas better. And what can the best of the
world do? What can they do? Only Joseph can do anything. You remember Nebuchadnezzar?
Oh, listen, he walked around there on Babylon one day and
said, this is the great Babylon that I have built. God, you know what he did to
him? Turned him out as a beast in the field. He was out there
eating grass. Fingernails got real long, hair
got real long. And he was out there like that
for seven years. And you know what he said when
his reason returned unto him? He said, when my understanding
and reason returned unto me. I know this, that the Most High
God ruleth in heaven and earth, and the inhabitants of the earth
are reputed as nothing. He said that includes me. I just
found that out, that I'm reputed as nothing. And He doeth according to His
will in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of
the earth, and ain't nobody gonna stay His hand. And old Belshazzar,
Son, he took all the gold and goblets and all that stuff out
of the temple and he's sitting there one night having a great
big party, drinking wine out of the Lord's, out of the cups
and things, the gold cups, having a great big party, using the
instruments out of the temple in Tabernacle, the temple out
of Jerusalem. He's sitting there eating and
all of a sudden there's a big old wall and a big finger stuck
out. Disappeared out of nowhere and
began to write. The scripture says this, that
his knees smote together. And I tell you what, have you
ever been in a situation where people can hear you and you can
hear your knees knocking? Well that's what happened to
him. His knees got so scared that his knees began to smite
one another. And he looked up and you know
what he said? You're weighed in the balances
and found warning. Huh? Oh my. I tell you what, there's only
one person that got the wisdom and the light to give any answers
at all. It's the one that God chose,
the one that God calls, the one that God sets up. Like our Lord
Jesus Christ. Tell you something else about
this situation. Joseph down there in prison being greatly tried.
Now he's brought up out of Egypt and he's going to be exalted.
And there's something that we know without a shadow of a doubt.
All things, we know, that's the first thing he says, we know
that all things work together for good to them that love God
and to them that are called according to his purpose. Oh, if God would,
by His grace, enable us to see the whole picture. What we deal
with, most of the time, we deal with our circumstances, present
circumstances. What we're dealing with right
now. But if God blesses us to see the whole picture, the whole
picture. Now Joseph, he goes down there
17 years old. In a little while, he is sitting
on the throne. He didn't see the whole picture,
but I know one thing, he trusted God. And if God wouldn't, and
then you know, if everything you find out that happened in
the scriptures is said and it came to pass, and when a trial
comes along, believe me, it'll come to pass. It'll come to pass,
it'll go, it'll leave, it'll leave like it comes. Leave like
it come. And oh my, Joseph suffered for
a while. And God brought him up and brought
him out. I want you to look at a verse
of scripture in Psalm 30 and verse 5. I could quote this to
you, but I want you to see this yourself. I haven't used this
verse in a long, long time. Psalm 30 and verse 5. Oh my,
all things work. And this is what's happening
with Joseph here. This king had these dreams. This butler said,
oh, I'm at fault. There was a young Hebrew down
there in the prison and oh, he told me just exactly what's going
to happen. Look here in verse 5, Psalm 30. But for a moment, in his favor
is life. Weeping may endure for a night,
but joy cometh in the morning." Oh, ain't that a blessing? Now
let's look at some typical things of Joseph. Some typical things. Joseph in due time was delivered
from prison. And here he is, you know I told
you here I think a couple of weeks ago that Joseph never had
any sin. You can't find no sin in Joseph
whatsoever. No sin in Daniel whatsoever.
But here he is, he was put in prison sold as a slave, and he
was there through no fault, through no sin, no fault of his own.
It's time for him to leave that dungeon and ascend to the throne.
And that's the way it was with our Lord Jesus Christ. Being
known among you men and brethren that this Jesus of Nazareth seen
among you with great signs and wonders Said God hath delivered
him and by his determined counsel you with wicked hands have slain
him, but God hath raised him up Having loosed the pains of
death. Oh, you thought you had done
with him, but although God raised him up right out of that prison,
right out of that dungeon, and raised him up and set him up
for everybody to see. And Joseph was delivered from
prison by the hand of God. Look over here in Genesis 45.
You know Joseph, I know Pharaoh was the one that sat down there
to give him, but look what Joseph says. Joseph himself said, in
Genesis 45, 7. And God sent me before you. God
sent me. He used you to do it. He used
Pharaoh to get me up. But God is the ultimate one behind
this whole thing. God sent me before you to preserve
your posterity in the earth. And to save your lives by great
deliverance. That means a great salvation. So now it was not you that sent
me here. But God, and he hath made me
father to Pharaoh, and Lord of all his house, and a ruler through
all of Egypt. Haste ye, go up to my father,
and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made
me Lord over all of Egypt. Teronod, get on down here. Oh
my, he said God did this. He said you didn't send me down
here, God sent me here. You know why he sent me here?
so you could be saved. You know why God sent Christ
into this world? So sinners could be saved. And
I've said this time and again, if a man ever becomes a sinner,
a real sinner, you've found a saved man. Joseph Murphy came over
to the meeting over in Ball, and real good attendance, He
was at the motel he was staying in and he asked the woman out
there, he said, are you a sinner? She said, oh yeah, yeah, I'm
a sinner, yeah, I'm a sinner. He said, are you a wicked sinner? She said, oh no, no, no, I'm
not that bad. So, you know, as long as you
can choose what kind of sinner she is, she's alright. But when
God makes you a sinner, from the top of your head to the sole
of your foot, from the inside of your soul to the outside of
your skin, You're a saved man. Now Joseph not only was delivered
by prison by the hand of God, but Joseph is seen as the revealer
of secrets. He told Pharaoh his dreams. He
told him everything that happened. He told him the secrets of Pharaoh's
dreams. He was the revealer of secrets.
Pharaoh's wise men was unable to help. And Joseph said, it's
not in me. And you know what our Lord Jesus
Christ said? He said, listen, the words that
I speak, my Father gave me to speak. I only say what He told
me to say. I come down here to only speak
what my Father gave me to speak. I only use the words that He
told me to speak. I'm not here with my own message. I'm here with the message of
the Father. And He said, everything my Father
told me to say, that's exactly what I'm going to say. And that's
what Joseph's doing. Everything God told him to do,
he did. And he told him, it's not in
me. And you know, somebody, let me tell you this. You and I wouldn't
know a thing in the world about God unless somebody told us.
We wouldn't know nothing about the Word of God unless somebody
told us. We wouldn't know what God's will is unless somebody
told us. And that's what happens with
Pharaoh here. He didn't have a clue what was going on. So
somebody had to tell him. Well who's going to tell him?
Joseph's going to tell him. And he showed Pharaoh just exactly
something he didn't know. And how to go about dealing with
it. Look what it said here in verse
25. What Joseph said to Pharaoh. Joseph said to Pharaoh, the dream
of Pharaoh is one. You've had two different dreams,
but it's just one dream. Has one purpose. And listen to
this, God has showed Pharaoh what he's about to do. Well,
how's Pharaoh gonna know what he's gonna do? Joseph's gonna
tell him. And we love it, that's the blessed
thing about it. We wouldn't know nothing if Christ
didn't teach us and Christ didn't show us and the Holy Spirit didn't
do it. And so Joseph, after he told
Pharaoh, he warned. He warned of a coming danger
just like our Lord Jesus did. And he told us how to prepare
for it. Look what he told him down here in verse 29. And behold, there come seven
years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt, and there
shall arise after them seven years of famine, and all the
plenty shall be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine
shall consume the land. And the plenty shall not be known
in the land by reason of the famine following, for it shall
increase. And for that the dream was doubled
unto Pharaoh twice, because the thing is established by God,
and God will surely bring it to pass. Look out a man discreet and wise,
and set him over the land of Egypt. And let Pharaoh do this."
Now this is what Joseph is telling this man, giving him the wisdom
of God, showing him exactly what the best course to take. Because
it's like the Lord Jesus Christ. Joseph is telling him how to
prepare for this thing. And let Pharaoh do this, and
let him point officers over the land, take up the fifth part
of the land in Egypt in the seven plenteous years. And let them
gather all the food of those good years that come, and lay
up corn under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the
cities. And that food shall be for store to the land against
the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt,
that the land perish not through the famine. And listen to what
old Pharaoh said, The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh,
and in the eyes of his servant. And Pharaoh said unto his servant,
Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom the Spirit of God
is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph,
For as much as God hath showed thee all this, there is none
so discreet and wise as you. Oh boy. Joseph told him exactly
what was going to happen. Joseph was not one of these philosophers,
a mealy-mouthed preacher that said, God, listen, he could have
told Pharaoh, God's got such a wonderful plan for your life,
Pharaoh. Huh? Something good is going to happen
for you today. You're a good man. You're a wonderful
fellow. And oh, God's got a wonderful
thing. And Joseph warned them, and our Lord Jesus Christ warned
us. He warned this world. He said,
don't you fear that man that can kill your body. But fear
Him who can destroy both body and soul and send them to hell.
And our Lord Jesus Christ said it point blank, except you believe
I am He, you shall die in your sins. And He said this, and no
man cometh unto the Father but by Me. And beloved, He told us
exactly the way we're to come to God. And if a man lives without
Christ, he dies without Christ. And if a man don't know Christ,
he's going to perish without Christ. And our Lord told us,
told that bunch flat-footed. And one time they said, Oh, you're
offending the Pharisees. Well, He told them some things.
And He said, Every plant which my Heavenly Father hath not planted
is going to be rooted up. Don't just let them alone. When
God says let you alone, you're in trouble. Oh, just leave them
alone. Oh, our Lord warned. He even
said, He told us what hell was going to be like. Do you know
that? He let us have a glimpse into hell. Lazarus laid at that
rich man's gate. That rich man went in and out
and he just laid down and begged and his sores all over the dog's
lickety. Well that rich man died and the
scripture said he went to hell. And he looked up to Abraham and
said, Abraham! Father Abraham, is it you? Would you let Lazarus stick his
finger Just in a glass of water. And just let him drop it on my
tongue." And Abraham said, no, no he can't
do that. In this world you had your good
things, now the bad. He had the bad, now he's got
the good. And Allah let us know. And I tell you something about
that man. He never repented. He never asked out of there.
He never said, I'm sorry. He never said, I wish I took
better care of my money. I wish I took better care of
the poor. Never said any of those things. He was interested in
one thing. Relief. Relief. Alright. And Joseph is
seen as the wonderful, wonderful counselor. He's seen as the wonderful
counselor. Oh my, by interpreting his dreams,
the meaning Joseph gave to the wise counsel, oh my, it's like
our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him are all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge. All the wisdom and power of God
is in the Lord Jesus Christ. And here's another thing, Joseph
is exalted and set over all Egypt. Look down here in verse 39 again.
Joseph Zaldin said over all Egypt, and Pharaoh said unto Joseph,
For as much as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none
so discreet and wise as thou. Thou shalt be over all my house,
and according unto thy words shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be
greater than you. And oh my, he went from being
in prison, in prison garments, From shame to glory, from prison
to a throne, from being a slave to being ruler, over everything,
over everything. And then Joseph was exalted to
the throne because of his own personal worth. You know, he
had this wonderful worth. He had this spirit in him, the
spirit of God. It said in verse 38, the spirit
of God was in him. And he, his worth, personally,
he had worth in himself. But no one, no one has the worth
and the merit of our Lord Jesus Christ. Oh listen, God gave him
a name that's above every name, that at the name of Jesus every
knee's gonna bow. And oh my, and Joseph, he's on
the throne now. He's on the throne. I mean, he
hadn't been out of prison. In the first days out, he went
from being in prison to being the number one man all over Egypt. Besides Pharaoh. How did that
happen? Then Joseph was dressed for his
new position. Look what I said in verse 42. He's dressed for his new position
and Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand and put it up on
Joseph's hand and arrayed him in vestures of fine linen and
put a gold chain around his neck. Our Lord Jesus Christ God has
highly exalted him. Oh, but we see Jesus made a little
lower than the angels. But oh, God raised him up. God
raised him up. And oh, he's dressed. And I tell
you what, I look forward to being dressed. Oh, I got this wonderful
dress on now, but boy, when I don't have this flesh to deal with.
And Joseph authority and glory are publicly owned. Listen to
this now. Publicly owned. Everybody going
to own it one of these days. Look what it said here in verse
43. And he made him ride in the second
chariot which he had. And they cried before him, bow
the knee, bow the knee. And he made him move over all
the land of Egypt. And he said, bow the knee, bow
the knee. And when he came by, folks hit
the knee. Man, I am thankful, I am thankful,
and I've told you before, I've done bowed the knee to the Lord
Jesus Christ. I gladly bowed my knees to Him.
God done brought me to where I bow. And this is the place
where you got to bow. Right here. Bowing the knee ain't
gonna do you any good. But when that heart's in submission,
when that heart is bowing before Him, huh? And oh my. And then let me, this is the
last thing, and I hope I haven't held you too long. And Joseph
received a new name from Pharaoh. Look down at verse 45. He got
him a new name. And Pharaoh called Joseph's name
Zephaniah. And you know, And I tell you
what, he was the revealer of secrets. But our Lord, when he
come into this world, they gave him a name. They gave him a name. What are you going to name this
child? The angel told Mary, he said, this is what I want you
to call him. I want you to call him Jesus. And that angel told
her, also told her this, for he shall save his people from
their sins. Just the very name. showed us
the pledge and promise of salvation. Huh? I mean it was pledged and
promised just by His blessed name. And God's exalted His name
above all else. He's the Savior. He's the only
Savior. He was shamed in His dying hour. But beloved, He sits right now
like Joseph did. The highest position. in this
universe. All powers subject unto Him. What a blessed Savior we have.
Joseph is just a faint glimmer of what our Lord Jesus Christ
really is. Our Father, O our Father, our
Father, our Father, Blessed be your glorious, holy, righteous
name for allowing us to meet here tonight, for taking up your
gospel, taking up your word. Oh, your word is so delightful,
so encouraging, gives us such light, gives us such understanding. And Lord, when you give us eyes
to see, it brings such joy to our hearts. Oh, such joy. Our hearts leap for joy at times
over the things we see concerning our Lord Jesus Christ. God bless
these dear saints. Lord bless Wanda and her kids
and her children, her grandchildren, for what they're dealing with
right now. God bless Brother Bruce. Please bring glory to
yourself through them in this situation and through us for
Christ's sake. Amen. I'll see you Wednesday. God willing.
