Gen 42;18-43:34
Matthew
Psalm 18;16-36
Proverbs 4;7-10
Sometimes things happen to us that we don't understand why or are hurt and angry as to why they happen. Joseph's brother selling him off is not something that he would have thought his brothers would have done to him. But look at what God had planned for him. This brings me comfort as you might not like where you are now but trusting in God and knowing that ,we have his word,that we can take refuge in him, that he is our rock, that he gives us strength and is our protector.
Joseph was testing his brothers,he wanted to see how they had been to benjamin. He had to see if they had changed. Joseph could see the brothers were still carrying the weight of what they did to Joseph. Joseph did not treat them ill, instead of taking revenge he had shared a meal with them.Joseph showed his brothers grace,as does God.
So,thank you God for the grace you show us!.God help us to live a Christ like,to have grace like Joseph and help us to be as Judah was and take responsibility for our actions. That when faced in a situation where we can write or wrongs …..we have the courage and strength to do so. It is only through you that we can.
