To move Joseph into the palace.

Again to fulfil his destiny, dream and assignment.

Rather than live in the Land of Regret forever.

Because he jumped the gun, and ran for dear life

Yes, He dealt with all his excuses and got him going.

Don’t settle and die.
Because of disappointments or failure
Depend on the Most High
Go forward, press on into the Land
