He was separate by a superior destiny, of which his youthful dreams were permitted to give a dim, indefinite glimpse. 2. He was separate by reason of the fondness of his father for aim, on the one side, and by the envy and enmity of his brethren, on the other. 3. He was separate by the banishment from his home in Canaan to the land of Egypt, where the Midianites sold him to an officer high in the service of the Egyptian king. 4. And over all the chances and changes of his life God ruled. Joseph's history remarkably illustrates Paul's saying in Romans 8:28. Let us remember this, and try from our earliest youth to serve God faithfully, and to suffer our trials patiently, as Joseph did. (W. S. Smith, B. D.)
