Examples of Young People with Great Responsibility
Joseph the son of Jacob was made overseer in the house of the Captain of the Guard in Egypt when he was just 17
Genesis 37:2; 39:1-4 These
are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was
pasturing the flock with his brothers. He was a boy with the sons of
Bilhah and Zilpah, his father’s wives. And Joseph brought a bad report
of them to their father … Now Joseph had been brought down to Egypt, and
Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the captain of the guard, an Egyptian,
had bought him from the Ishmaelites who had brought him down there. The
LORD was with Joseph, and he became a successful man, and he was in the
house of his Egyptian master. His master saw that the LORD was with him
and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands. So
Joseph found favor in his sight and attended him, and he made him overseer of his house and put him in charge of all that he had.
