Anticipating the Famine


by Rev. Derek P. Elphick

Type of Event: Worship Service: Family (may include music)

Date Recorded: February 11, 2024

Location: Bryn Athyn Cathedral

Joseph’s interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream, that there would be seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine, meant that the land of Egypt had time to prepare for this eventual hardship (Genesis 41). If “famine” is a hardship we can expect, what steps might we take to better prepare for it? The happy reunion of Joseph and his brothers wouldn’t have happened without the famine. This story gives us a wonderful glimpse into the workings of the Lord’s providence.
