I love reading he Bible, you cannot make this stuff up…guilt, dishonesty, restoration and forgiveness…all that we endure is part of his plan for us…
“Since Joseph was governor of all Egypt and in charge of selling grain to all the people, it was to him that his brothers came. When they arrived, they bowed before him with their faces to the ground. And he remembered the dreams he’d had about them many years before. He said to them, “You are spies! You have come to see how vulnerable our land has become.” Speaking among themselves, they said, “Clearly we are being punished because of what we did to Joseph long ago. We saw his anguish when he pleaded for his life, but we wouldn’t listen. That’s why we’re in this trouble.” “Then the man who is governor of the land told us, ‘This is how I will find out if you are honest men. Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take grain for your starving families and go on home.”
Genesis 42:6, 9, 21, 33 NLT
https://bible.com/bible/116/gen.42.6.NLT““I am Joseph!” he said to his brothers. “Is my father still alive?” But his brothers were speechless! They were stunned to realize that Joseph was standing there in front of them. “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives. God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive and to preserve many survivors. So it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt. “Now hurry back to my father and tell him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me master over all the land of Egypt. So come down to me immediately! Go tell my father of my honored position here in Egypt. Describe for him everything you have seen, and then bring my father here quickly.” Then Joseph kissed each of his brothers and wept over them, and after that they began talking freely with him.”
Genesis 45:3-5, 7-9, 13, 15 NLT
Dear God thank you for sparing our lives and thank you for going ahead of us. Lord, may your plans manifest in our lives. We do not see what good can come from chaos but we know by trusting you , where thing are meant to harm us and to hurt us you can use them for your good and your glory. Thank you for being our savior, protector and our deliverer in Jesus’ name we pray. Amen
