So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.
This verse makes me think of comming into the presence of the Lord. How do we prepare for such a meeting? Fortunately, because of Christ, we are granted access to God any time. Most of the time we don't concern ourselves with our appearance before we approach God in prayer, but we may need to clear up our mind. Sometimes we "clean up" physically (and hopefully mentally) before we go to worship. There may be times in our lives when we have been in the dungeon or come through the valley. These times may merit an actual physical, spiritual and mental cleansing before approaching the throne of God.
Lord, thank you for the opportunity to come before you. Please help us to be physically, spiritually and mentally ready to approach your throne. Amen.
