We have all been through hard times but there are some things we need to remember when we go through hard times.  Join us this week as we take a look!

Genesis 41:28-49 (NASB)
It is as I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown to Pharaoh what He is about to do.  29  Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt;  30  and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.  31  So the abundance will be unknown in the land because of that subsequent famine; for it will be very severe.  32  Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about.  33  Now let Pharaoh look for a man discerning and wise, and set him over the land of Egypt.  34  Let Pharaoh take action to appoint overseers in charge of the land, and let him exact a fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt in the seven years of abundance.  35  Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh’s authority, and let them guard it.  36  Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”
37  Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.
  Joseph Is Made a Ruler of Egypt
38  Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?”  39  So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.  40  You shall be over my house, and according to your command all my people shall do homage; only in the throne I will be greater than you.”  41  Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”  42  Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put the gold necklace around his neck.  43  He had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, “Bow the knee!” And he set him over all the land of Egypt.  44  Moreover, Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Though I am Pharaoh, yet without your permission no one shall raise his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”  45  Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of  On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.  46  Now Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.  47  During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth abundantly.  48  So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.  49  Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure.
