There is nothing we can do in our Christian experience that can substitute for spending quality time alone with God. Our task should be to do whatever it takes to spend time alone with Him; so that we, like Moses, might begin to be so at home in His presence that He will proportionately increase our capacity to behold His glory, until one day we are at home in the glory of His presence.

The reality of the Christian life is “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” So it was with Joseph. He had learned that of himself he could do nothing. When God chooses to use him, all of the glory will go where all of the glory belongs, to God. “It is not in me,” Joseph answered, “But let me tell you of One who can.” Thus began Joseph’s ascent to greatness.
