A former slave, 16-year-old Booker T. Washington walked almost 500 miles to enroll in a school for black students. He arrived wearing ragged clothes. The head teacher only admitted him after he cleaned a room spotlessly. Eventually, he became one of the nation’s foremost black educators. But he had to prove himself by doing menial tasks before being given the opportunity.
Joseph should have been a free man. God was with him, but he still had to work hard for his overseer. Working for an earthly master is extremely difficult Joseph did the job and did it so well that his work set him apart. People saw there was something different about him.
Father, I want to be a godly example as I do my work each day. May my diligence and faithfulness point others to You.
