JOSEPH'S TWO SONS
1. First son - Manasseh
Joseph named his son Manasseh because God made him forget the injustice of his brothers, the mistreatment he endured by Potiphar, and the years spent in an Egyptian jail for a crime he did not commit.
2. Second son - Ephraim
Joseph could have been bitter, hard and critical but he kept his heart from resentment and God blessed him with a new life with great authority.
It takes much more grace to serve God in prosperity than it does in a time of crisis.
