S – Then the steward said, “May you be well. Don’t be afraid. Your God and the God of your father must have put treasure in your bags. I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.

Genesis 43:23 CSB

O – Commentary:

 When they told Joseph’s steward about the silver they found in their sacks when returning from their first trip, the steward told them not to be afraid because their God had given them that money. Perhaps Joseph had talked with the steward about the true God.

 “Genesis,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – When God is working in someone, others are watching.  While it is unsure whether Joseph talked with his steward about God, the proximity of the two allowed the steward to have a reverence for God.  Ironically, he was teaching the Hebrew men about the character and capabilities of the God they worshipped.  We must be aware of the impact of our words and actions on those around us.

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and ascribe you glory today.  Help us be aware of our relationship with you.  Let our thoughts, words and actions align with your will and character.  Let the impact of our relationship bring others closer to you.
