Has life experience made you wise?
Who gives us our wisdom?
Pharoah immediately places Yosef at the head of the palace because of his wise interpretation of the Egyptian ruler's dream.
But what really impresses Pharoah? Not Yosef's braininess, but his ability to be a spokesperson for the Ruler of the Universe: "Since G-d has informed you of all this, there can be no one so discerning and wise as you." (Bereshit 41: 39)
Perhaps the texts are suggesting that the nations look to us to be G-d's spokesmen and spokeswomen.
How will you be a voice for G-d today?
