Faith — Believing and Trusting

Faith — Believing and Trusting

"You think about the act of faith Joseph acted on — even Hebrews 11 talks about it. When scripture says that he knew by faith what God had promised that he was going to deliver them out of Egypt. And he said, when y'all depart, take my bones widget and bury me in that homeland. Well, you know, he died, and it was nearly 350 and 400 years before they ever left. So you think about that for a moment. In our country, what we know as the United States of America hadn't existed for that long. So think about it from the perspective of let's say, a George Washington, who asked the people in his day to make a commandment, a law of principle, a law, and says that when, when America is no more, when y'all leave out of here, whatever you go, why don't you take my bones and bring them back to Britain, then when you go, were bearing me with my ancestors over there? A long time. 400 years, you know, and, and they did when they left, they took the bone and bones of Joseph with them, when they headed out of Egypt. That was his request. And he made it into law for them to do that. An act of faith. So it's just neat to see. And put it in that perspective, from the point that that's a long time, 400 years, a long time. To us and relative to time. It's not long, but for us, as we reckon it is, it's, it's a long time. And think about how many generations have come and gone."
