This is an important lesson in what is real and what is assumed. Humanity has the wrong view of us, thinking of us as an all-powerful Father presiding over his children and willing to step in and heal their hurts, pick them up, dust them off, set them free again when they have transgressed, forgive their sins, and manage their lives to bring about fairness, joy, and happiness for anyone who is a true believer, or so the story goes.
This is a scenario of partial truths only, for the true understanding of that experience, in seeing the plight of the humble farmer rewarded by divine grace, was not that God manages people's lives, and the deserving few rewarded, and it is only a matter of faith and devotion to prove one's worth needed to receive the same divine beneficence. In reality, that farmer was rewarded as a consequence of his own divine actions because he had a refined and true spiritual core, and lived according to divine principles, in divine alignment. He created his own future, so even though he was challenged along the way, as all are, being in the physical, a tough arena of fierce competition and many, many hazards and pitfalls that can easily snare a person and drag them down, he held true to his morality and ethics and weathered the storm, the storms of life, and created the future reward that was ultimately witnessed, of being in the right place at the right time.
What he was doing was partnering with the divine all along the way during his life. So, by doing this, he paved the way for that beneficent future where he could easily have been decimated, and his entire family perish from his failure to provide, but instead was met by divine grace, fulfilling our part of a bargain, he, in effect, had ensured through his meeting us halfway, in partnership, and fulfilling his obligations to do the hard work and conscientious attention to his responsibilities and obligations, not just for himself but his family as well. This was a blessing for himself and for his family, and all were rewarded by an arranged rescue. But that was not a unilateral act of charity, but the fulfilling of a contract, in effect, launched by a man of faith with strong inner convictions and a sense of purpose, for the betterment of himself and his family, and he was a true blessing to those loved ones as well as to his own soul in the outcome.
The lesson here is that you are not on your own and subservient, and only through obedience and devotion will we pay attention. It is not our demands that need to be met, it is your own desires for living in divine alignment that will bring you close to us and us close to you. When we are walking side by side with you, hand in hand, you gain our power in ways that would otherwise never happen when you are on your own and living by your own wits and meager resources. In your world, it is you that have power. If you choose to use that power to partner with us, you will become more powerful. It is all up to you as we follow your lead.
