This passage is short, but packed full of important details of the Exodus account. In this brief text, we see the depth of God’s guidance of His people toward the Promised Land. Joseph’s prophecy and request were fulfilled in Genesis 50:22–26. God was not only guiding His people, but He was also with them.

The more we know and learn about God, who He is and what He has done in and through Jesus Christ, the more we’ll be in awe of Him and the more we’ll be driven toward mission, wanting to make His name great across all the earth.
