Genesis 45:5-8 (NIV) - 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. 6 For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will not be plowing and reaping. 7 But God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance. 8 "So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.
I'm certain that the bible assures us that all things work together for good... This is an amazingly difficult scripture to lean on when you are in the midst of a mess. But it is no less true. I have seen it in my own life time and again. I have actually been put to the test concerning this principle while preaching a series about it. I came out on the other side every time with good in my rearview. God is awesome!
I can continue to apply this truth in my life by not being discouraged when I have problems and / or challenges. I can have blessed assurance that it will all not only work out, but work together for my good.
Father, thank You for Your word and Your abundant mercy and patience. I wish to please You more and more. Help me to see You in the times when You seem far from me. Help me to call You when You seem not to hear. Help me to believe when My belief is put to the test. Thank You Jesus.
