Daily Manna With Pastor Paul Torres

As the people of Israel move to Egypt, we see Judah's continued growth and maturity as he demonstrates godly leadership.

As Joseph's family arrives to Egypt, he takes time out of his busy schedule to help them settle in Goshen.

After seeing proof that Joseph is alive, Jacob begins the eventful trip to move himself and his entire family to Egypt.

As Joseph sends his brothers home to fetch Jacob, the patriarch learns the joyous news: Not only is Joseph alive, but he's the ruler of all Egypt!

We finally reach the emotional crescendo of the story as Joseph reveals his identity to the sons of Jacob.

As a father who had lost two sons, Judah knew well the pain it would cost his father Jacob to lose both Joseph and Benjamin. Now he comes through on his promise to hold himself accountable for Benjamin's safe return.

As the brothers absorb the full magnitude of what it means to find the cup in Benjamin's sack, they return as one to try to defend him from Joseph.

Joseph observes his brothers' fidelity one more time with the biggest test of all - planting evidence to suggest that Benjamin had robbed him.

As Joseph shares lunch with his brothers, he continues dropping hints about who he really is as he probes them to see whether they have changed from the evil men who sold him into slavery.

As Joseph invites his brothers over for lunch, the sons of Jacob are stuck between fear and wonder. What is he up to?

Faced with certain starvation and with nowhere else to turn, Jacob must let go of his fear for Benjamin and his obsession with saving his only remaining link to his favorite wife, Rebecca.

As the food they have brought from Egypt runs out, the bothers have a hard time convincing Jacob to let them return.

When Joseph's brothers found their money in their sacks, old guilt about past sins began choking them with fear.

Joseph will test his brothers hearts to see if truly they are honest and transformed men or still seeking excuses for their bad behavior.

The sons of Jacob, 10 of Joseph's brothers, are moved to seek food in the land of Egypt because of the famine.

Following Joseph's promotion to second in command in all of Egypt at 30 years old, the plan of how to prepare for the 7 year famine during the 7 years of plenty is carried out with Joseph's administrative skills and the wisdom given to him by God.

Good things take time to develop. After years of a trial of suffering, Joseph is placed in a position of favor with Pharoah by God, in order to carryout His plan of fulfilling the promises for not only Joseph's life, but the lives of many that would be saved by Joseph's high ranking position in Egypt during a 7 year famine throughout the land.

The story of Joseph continues to unfold as he is promoted by Pharoah as overseer of the land of Egypt for the 7 years of great plenty followed by the 7 years of famine, after 20 years from the moment of his captivity.

As Joseph shows wisdom by interpreting Pharaoh's dream - and suggesting a solution to Pharaoh's problem - he receives a major promotion.

The cupbearer is restored to his place in Pharaoh's service, but he forgets all about the young Hebrew back in prison.
