A football scholarship gave him a college education and his college degree landed him a job at Xerox. it was soon a small coffee chain caught his eye. He was eventually able to convince the chain to hire him as their CEO. In the next few years he turned the 60 small stores into a business worth over a billion dollars. That is the Starbucks story. We all love a rags-to-riches story. Even more than reading one, all us would like to be one. As we continue our study of Joseph, we find him at his rags-to-riches moment. As we study is life, we will learn what qualities God is looking for in our life that may open the door to an unexpected rags-to-riches story of our own.

Macaulay Culkin became famous as Kevin Mcallister in the widely popular “Home Alone” movie of 1990. His amazing success as an actor led to disaster in his personal life. In 1995, just as Macauley was hitting adolescence, allegations surfaced that his father was mismanaging his fortune. A nasty custody battle ensued as his greedy parents fought for control of the child and his future. If that won’t destroy a kid, what will? What followed were a series of drug arrests, escape from society and a fall from stardom. Success is hard to handle. It can ruin anyone. In Genesis 14 we learn how to handle success and let it make God bigger instead of ourselves.
