Genesis 45
Today's Scripture
There is a happy ending for Joseph and his brothers, as he reveals himself to them and showers them with love and forgiveness. Through much pain and trial, God brought Joseph to a place of prominence--a place where he could be in a position to save the lives of many people, including his own family.
Today I am experiencing some minor disappointments--things that will be fixed, but that just take some time and figuring out. I need to have the faith and positive attitude that Joseph exhibited--knowing that God can take any situation and work God from it. Joseph had even come to the point of seeing that the Lord had sent him to Egypt--not his brothers--for the very task of helping others. May we be able to see God's hand in the midst of or disappointments and even times of despair.
