Genesis 41:38-49 - When Promise Takes Root

Feb 22, 2026    Dr. Stuart Guthrie

Some things grow quickly and disappear just as fast. Grass springs up and withers. But a tree grows differently. Before strength is visible above the surface, roots are forming below.

Genesis 41 is not the beginning of Joseph’s story. It is the visible growth of something God planted years earlier and we can learn much from slow growth.
