Favoritism Hurts
Genesis 37:3 The Voice
Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other children because he came
along when he was an old man. So Israel presented Joseph with a special
robe he had made for him—a spectacularly colorful robe with long sleeves
in it.
Joseph struggled in his relationship with his brothers. They were envious
of Joseph because of their father’s favoritism. It created a lot of grief
for Joseph.
In the end, God turned it around, but I can’t help believe that God could
have accomplished His will another way. He always uses the situations we
are in and turns them around, but often we suffer needlessly.
Are you showing favoritism to anyone? If so, ask God how He feels about it.
Father, show me if I am walking in favoritism. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
