Day 14 - Joseph & His Brothers

And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.  Genesis 45:5

Are you enjoying the story of Joseph? It's such a great story with so many things to love.....forgiveness, blessing, God's sovereignty.......

Footnote for 45:17-20

Joseph was rejected, kidnapped, enslaved, and imprisoned. Although his brothers had been unfaithful to him, he graciously forgave them and shared his prosperity. Joseph demonstrated how God forgives us and showers us with goodness even though we have sinned against him. The same forgiveness and blessings are ours if we ask for them.

Be blessed today!
