have you ever conisered the differance between arrogance to confidence?
This example was given:
You are chosen from a group of about 40 present to stand before before everyone. Then you are asked to remove your clothes. You are baffeled by the request, but you do so (assuming there is a male present) down to your boxers. Then you are asked to remove them also. Now you question the request and no answer is given as to why. Once you do so, you are now in your birthday suit and asked to lay down.

The difference between arrogance to confidence is a question was asked.
Confidence would not have asked why.

Now pose this same situation to Joseph. With a famine in the land, and he has control of the grain to distribute. Was he arrogant of his position or just plain confident? Interesting

blessings
Anna
