dearth (the drought)

53 ¶And the seven years of plenteousness, that was in the land of Egypt, were ended.

 54 And the seven years of ^adearth began to come, according as Joseph had said: and the dearth was in all lands; but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

 55 And when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread: and Pharaoh said unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Joseph; what he saith to you, do.

 56 And the famine was over all the face of the earth: And Joseph opened all the storehouses, and ^asold unto the Egyptians; and the famine waxed sore in the land of Egypt.

Genesis 41

For those of you that have been under a rock this year, the Midwest has seen the worst drought in 80 years.  Crop production has been low, river channels are closed, and food prices going up.  This will have a ripple affect on the global economy.

Imagine Joseph for a minute.  In his day, the bible says there was 7 years of drought.  Drought all over the face of the earth.  In those days drought equalled famine.  Could our modern world survive such a terrible natural disaster?

The only thing I know for sure is that only God could save you from that kind of devistation.  I am not prepared for anything like that and neither are you.  My friend, total reliance on God is the only answer to that question.  Who do you rely on?
