Save in the good times, and slowly spend on the hard times." As Pastor Sumrall reads the story of how Joseph handled the economy of Egypt during the famine, he teaches us that we should be wise and prudent in our finances through our abundance and hard times. This will also show good stewardship in the blessings given to us.
Genesis 47:13-15 NLT
Meanwhile, the famine became so severe that all the food was used up, and people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Canaan. By selling grain to the people, Joseph eventually collected all the money in Egypt and Canaan, and he put the money in Pharaoh's treasury. When the people of Egypt and Canaan ran out of money, all the Egyptians came to Joseph. "Our money is gone!" they cried. "But please give us food, or we will die before your very eyes!"
Genesis 47:16-17 NLT
Joseph replied, "Since your money is gone, bring me your livestock. I will give you food in exchange for your livestock." So they brought their livestock to Joseph in exchange for food. In exchange for their horses, flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and donkeys, Joseph provided them with food for another year.
