the sight of God?
If you know the story of Joseph, that from the age of 17,
- Joseph was separated from his family -
- sold into slavery by his own brothers, -
- ends up in a foreign country, -
- is wrongfully accused, -
- and then spends approximately 13 years, of what some
might call, “the best years” of his life in a dungeon - not for doing wrong - but for being obedient to God.
- God promoted Joseph from being servant and prisoner
to the position of Prime Minister over all the land -
- (he was second only to the King).
- God rewarded and blessed him -
- not just for the moment, but for the rest of his life.
- He was so blessed that he lived well beyond his years -
and took great care of his family - including the ones
that put him out - and he lived to see the children of his
grandchildren - and then he passed it on to them for
their inheritance.
There is no other formula that you can possible use to
calculate the blessing for obedience to God, except …
- But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard,
- neither have entered into the heart of man,
the things which God hath prepared for them
that love him. -- 1 Corinthians 2 verse 9
Scripture References:
- Psalms 58 verse 11 So that a man shall say, Verily there is a
reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the
earth.

- Chapter 50. I've highlighted key scriptures for the blessings of
obedience.
