“So Jacob’s sons arrived in Egypt along with others to buy food, for the famine was in Canaan as well. Since Joseph was governor of all Egypt and in charge of selling grain to all the people, it was to him that his brothers came. When they arrived, they bowed before him with their faces to the ground. Joseph recognized his brothers instantly, but he pretended to be a stranger and spoke harshly to them. “Where are you from?” he demanded. “From the land of Canaan,” they replied. “We have come to buy food.” Although Joseph recognized his brothers, they didn’t recognize him.” Genesis 42: 5 – 8 NLT
Having lived in only one neighborhood as Famous has grown up with me, I wonder about people who may have observed us from a distance, people who might have spotted us on the sidewalks over the years and noted our progression from half-marathon runner with his pup-pup by his side to slowing guy with older dog by his side. I wonder if they took any notice of this handsome guy (and his master) as they began to transform together with age. I wonder if we ever became a familiar sight to anyone.
God never loses track of his children though they may change drastically. He sees only the souls inside.
Teach me today, Lord, to recognize those near me who share a faith in You.
