Wise and Discerning
As Joseph continues to honor the Lord in the prison cell, the Lord grants him wisdom and discernment. When Pharaoh is disturbed by a dream, Joseph's God-given insight enables him to interpret, resulting in Pharaoh entrusting his kingdom to Joseph's command. Join us for session seven as we see how wisdom and discernment enabled Joseph to handle his new position and how we as believers ought to value and pursue these qualities.
