Gen 45:28 | MHM | STEP | v. 28 : Jacob, now called Israel, said it was enough for him that Joseph was alive. He decided to go and see Joseph before he died ( v. 28 ). Even though he was old and the journey was long, the thought of seeing Joseph gave him new strength and hope. This reminds us to live with the awareness of death, so we can focus on what matters most and enjoy the blessings God gives while we still can.
