Wisdom
In this powerful message, we're challenged to embrace our God-given identity and purpose, symbolized by the metaphor of 'wearing our coat.' The story of Joseph from Genesis 50 takes center stage, reminding us that what others may intend for evil, God can use for good. We're encouraged to cultivate wisdom and meekness, understanding that true strength lies in power under control. The sermon beautifully intertwines the concepts of dominion, wisdom, and meekness, urging us to step into our divine calling despite opposition or personal doubts. As we reflect on Joseph's journey from the pit to the palace, we're inspired to trust in God's greater plan for our lives, even when the path seems unclear or difficult. This message invites us to consider: How can we 'wear our coat' with confidence, allowing God's purpose to unfold in and through us?
