“When Joseph arrived at Shechem, a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, “What are you looking for?” – Genesis 37:15
Most Bible students are familiar with the story of Joseph and the salvation of Egypt from world famine, but not many know who the most important man of that story is.
If you think it was Joseph or Pharaoh you’d be wrong! The most important person was that unnamed man who found Joseph wandering around looking for his brothers!
Had he not had the courtesy to ask “What are you looking for?” and pointed in the right direction, Joseph wouldn’t have found his brothers, wouldn’t have gone to Egypt, and wouldn’t have saved the known world from starvation.
Think about that the next time you feel insignificant. The most important people aren’t the great leaders and shakers in this world but the ones who point them in the right direction.
