The First Step of Taking Charge - January 21, 2024 DD
"Your first step to taking charge is to go and inspect everything. To learn as much as you can learn about what you have been put in-charge of." Being granted authority to take charge is a great responsibility as more things are expected to be done. In a season of promotion, it is important to be diligent in learning the task entailed in the position assigned and be willing to start from scratch as you work things up along the way.
Genesis 41:37-41 NLT
Joseph's suggestions were well received by Pharaoh and his officials. So Pharaoh asked his officials, "Can we find anyone else like this man so obviously filled with the spirit of God?" Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has revealed the meaning of the dreams to you, clearly no one else is as intelligent or wise as you are. You will be in charge of my court, and all my people will take orders from you. Only I, sitting on my throne, will have a rank higher than yours." Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I hereby put you in charge of the entire land of Egypt."
