-Even if Jacob did not buy into the words of the messengers, when he saw the wagons he could believe that Joseph was alive.

• The first sign of Joseph was a bloody coat and it fooled Jacob.

• The second sign of Joseph was wagons full of goods and it encouraged him.

• The first sign rattled Jacob. . . but the second sign restored him!

-How the enemy would love for you to stop short at the first sign!

• The first sign of trouble can paralyze you. . . but the second sign of blessing can redeem you.

• The first sign of doubt can cripple you. . . but the second sign of blessing can anoint you.

• The first sign of disaster can suffocate you. . . but the second sign of blessing can exalt you.

• The first sign of difficulty can ruin you. . . but the second sign of provision can breath life into you.
