Grace for your spirit
Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me here before you to preserve life. Genesis 45:5
Joseph was sold into bondage by his angry and jealous brothers when he was just 17. All the time he was in Egypt, God was with him and blessed him richly. Because of his faithfulness, God put him into a position to interpret dreams for Pharoah. Those dreams helped Egypt prepare for a great famine, and put them in a position to feed the world, including all of Joseph's family. Joseph came to realize that all his misfortune was in the plan of God to save the world from starvation. Joseph is a living picture that God really does cause all things to work together for good for those who love Him. Whatever is happening to us today may seem bad, but God can make it work out for good. Let's stay in His purpose so we can enjoy the blessings.
