Jacob isn't impressed with the most powerful man in the world. Interestingly, the opposite is true. Jacob is130 years old, which compared with his father and grandfather makes his days few indeed.
Not that I'm holding anyone up as an example, but I like that Jacob was unimpressed with Pharaoh's title or position. Rather, it was Pharaoh sought Jacob's wisdom.
We shouldn't be so eager to bend the knee to earthly titles. The spectacle of two professing Christians fighting each other over some office is frankly disgusting. Nothing in this world will last. If we have the spirit of the living God in us, what can this world add? The world should be running to God's people, not the other way around.
