Israel set out with all his household. God told him not to be afraid. Israel and all his family came to Egypt. Israel and Joseph had an emotional reunion.
"Words could never describe the emotion of this scene. The old father and his son whom he thought dead, who hadn’t seen each other for these 22 years, fall on each other’s neck and weep for a long time.
Real joy in life comes through relationships, not through where you live or what you own. God has given us the family as the primary place to nurture those relationships. You can climb to the top of your career, even a “Christian career,” and have all the goodies that go along with success. But if you neglect your family to get there, you’ll come up empty."
