RECONVERSION:
IS ext Job
With World War II finished, and
with the nation’s great armament
production due to be slashed, inter
est mounted in the government’s
program for switching industry
back to a peacetime basis and pro- I
viding continued high employment, j
Shortly before the cessation of I
hostilities, President Truman called
in War Production Board Chieftain
Krug to go over plans for speeding
up reconversion to prevent a large
scale rupture of the country’s econo
my after V-J day.
At the meeting, it was deter
mined that the WPB was to con- |
duct a vigorous drive for the expan- ;
sion of production of materials in
short supply to meet all demands;
limit manufacture of articles re
quiring scarce materials; establish
effective control over material stock
piles to prevent speculative hoard
ing that would endanger the stabil
ization program; provide priority
assistance to break bottlenecks that
might impede the switch back to I
civilian goods, and allocate scarce
materials for lower priced articles j
to keep costs down.

JOSEPH’S PLACE IN GOD’S PLAN
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 39:20-23; 41:14-
16, 23 . 41-43.
GOLDEN TEXT—Secst thou a man dili
gent in his business? he shall stand lie
fore kings,—Proverbs 22:29.
Does it pay to trust God? Does
He know about the sorrows and the
troubles of His people? Does He
have anything to do with the affairs
of the world? Men are asking such
questions in our day, and we have
the answer in God’s dealings with
men in the past.
The story of Joseph is fascinating
from almost any angle, but it holds
no more important truth than that
the man who honors God in his life
f will be honored by God (I Sam.
1 2:30), even in the hardest place, yes,
and in the highest position.
Joseph appears before us in our
lesson as
I. A Prisoner Prospered by God
(39:20-23).
It is surprising how often one finds
I God’s men in the Scriptures in pris
on. Their determination to live up
right and honorable lives ran so
counter to the plans of the world
j that in the inevitable clash there
I came persecution. j
The story of how Joseph became
i the object of his brother’s jealousy ;
| and was sold as a slave into Egypt;
! how he prospered there only to be
disgraced and imprisoned because
of the lying accusation of an angry |
woman—all these are in the back
ground of our lesson.
Now that be was in prison, pre
sumably his influence was gone and
his usefulness at an end. Not so, for
God can be with a man in the pris
on as well as in the palace. j
He soon became the head man of
, the jail. Imagine a prisoner taking 1
i over the keeper’s work! Then, too, |
he there met the king’s chief butler
| who, though forgetting for a time, j
, did eventually say the word which
j brought Joseph back into power (see
Gen. 40:14-23; 41:9-13).
The obvious lesson and blessed
truth here is that when one of God’s
people finds himself in a difficult
place, he can rest assured that God
is there working out His own blessed
purpose. Why not trust Him and
look for His deliverance?
■ Joseph the God-prospered prison
er now becomes
11. A Prophet Prepared by God
( (41:14-10, 25).
The hour had come when a man
was needed who had a word from j
God. In preparation for the awful I
years of famine the Lord wanted to
use the land of Egypt as His great
granary. He wanted thus to pre
-1 serve the cnosen nation of Israel,
as well as to meet the needs of
| others.
The vision of the king, plain as it
i seemed when interpreted, was un-
I intelligible without the key from 1
God, and He had his man prepared. ]
Joseph was ready to be called from j
prison to speak the right word at
the right time.
How important it is that the |
Lord’s messengers be prepared and ,
ready to respond in the hour of j
His blessing and opportunity! Many I
eager Christians look forward to the
months and years just ahead of us
as the greatest opportunity the
Church has had to spread the gos
pel.
Notice that Joseph gave God the
glory (vv. IC-25). The one who really
j knows what is going on in the world
is quick to recognize that only the
j wisdom and the grace of God are
! sufficient for man’s need. Let the
voice of boasting mankind be
silenced and let the voice of God
speak!
Joseph’s prophetic word marked
him as God’s man to carry out
God’s plan, so we see him now as
111. A Premier Promoted bv God
(41:41-43).
‘‘l have set th»e over all the
land,” said Pharaoh, and so he had,
but in reality it was God who had
planned the whole matter. He
wanted Joseph there at this time,
and there he was.
It may be well to stress the fact
that God is interested in govern
ment and in the men who hold pub
lic office. In fact, the only true
foundation for government is found
; in God. We are told to “be subject
: unto the higher powers. For there
is no power but of God: the powers
that be are ordained of God” f Rom.
j 13:1).
j, The Bible clearly teaches that ev
[ ery governmental agency and every
i public servant, from the police
j man on the corner to the President
in the White House, is permitted to
I exercise authority over his fellow-
I men only because God has ordained
that there should be such govern
ment.
i Clear it is that every right
thinking official of state and nation
should be humble, teachable, dis
creet, and wise in the exercise of his
power, gnd God-fearing in the dis-
I charge of his responsibility.
He who reads may apply the truth
of God’s Word to himself and find
personal blessing. It is a rich and
powerful and stimulating Word. Let
us use it for God’s glory!
