GENESIS 41

The Spirit Filled Man/Woman
圣灵充满男人/女人

Pharaoh asked this question long ago, and it is still relevant today, indeed God is asking this question all through the bible and indeed all through human history.
法老很久以前就问过这个问题，今天仍然适用，事实上，上帝在圣经和整个人类历史中都在问这个问题。

Someone once said that man is looking for better methods, but God is looking for better men, and that surely is true.
有人曾经说过，人在寻找更好的方法，但上帝在寻找更好的人，这确实是真的。

Joseph had come and explained the dream of Pharaoh, so the answer was staring him right in the face, it seemed a bit of a dumb question if you ask me.
约瑟夫来解释法老的梦，所以答案显然在他的脸上，如果你问我，这似乎是一个愚蠢的问题。

What did Joseph had that made him so Spirit filled, what were his characteristics？
为什么约瑟被圣灵充满，他的性格特点是什么？

He had the spirit of Wisdom
他有属天的智慧

He was discerning
他有洞察力

He had a fear of God
他敬畏上帝

He had a deep hatred of sin and offending God （Genesis 39:9）
他仇恨罪恶和冒犯上帝（创世纪39:9）

He had a quiet patience, not once do we hear Joseph complaining about his circumstances.
他用忍耐等候，我们没有一次听到约瑟抱怨他的处境。

God prospered this spirit filled man, because Joseph ultimately brought glory upon His God and not upon himself. He sought to uplift God, he told Pharaoh and others that it was God who give them an answer, not him.
神使这个被灵充满的人兴旺发达，因为约瑟最终将荣耀归给他的神，而不是他自己。他寻求上帝的激励，他告诉法老和其他人，是上帝给了他们答案，而不是他。
