1. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TROUBLE, CONTROL YOUR TONGUE.
It was the talkativeness of Joseph’s brother that led them deeper into trouble Prov. 21:23. It is age-old law: if you do not want trouble in life, keep your words few: control your tongue always. A wholesome tongues is a tree of life! Gen. 43; Luke 19:22; Pro. 15:4; James 1:26.

2. NOT ALL HUNGER IS BAD: THERE IS A GOOD HUNGER:
It was a bad hunger that caused Jacob to release his favourite son to an uncertain future matt. 5:6; Jere. 29:13; Ps. 42:1; Amos 8:11; I Cor. 14:39; John 14:12.
But not all hunger is bad. To hunger after God and thing of God is a good thing indeed.
