Have you ever tried to prove yourself to others? It's such a temptation especially when we run into people don't like us, or even hate us. As we begin our study of Joseph we discover a younger brother trying to prove his worth to his family. And it doesn't go well. From his example we learn to resist the temptation to prove ourselves to others.
"Resist" is a common rallying cry in our culture. However, as followers of God we are called to resist the ways of the world. As we finish our journey through Genesis we'll discover a man who resisted revenge, sexual temptation, and dependence on the ways of the world.
