GOD’S PLAN
OCTOBER 19
Genesis 42:6-14
GOD’S PLAN
Do you remember Joseph’s dreams? His brothers did not like the idea of bowing to Joseph and sold Joseph as a slave. However, no one can ever change God’s plan for God’s words will always come true. We saw how Joseph rose to become the governor of Egypt. The brothers had no choice but to bow before him when they came to Egypt to get food.
As famine hit Canaan too, Jacob sent his sons to Egypt to buy food. In charge of the sale of the nation’s stock of grain was Joseph, the Prime Minister of Egypt. Whether they liked it or not, the brothers had to bow to their younger brother then. The bowing of the stalks of wheat in Joseph’s dream was realized.
Joseph recognised his brothers instantly but did not acknowledge them. Was he angry with them? No. He was certainly choked with emotions. He must have very much wanted to ask about his aged father and Benjamin but held back. Perhaps, it was better for him to observe what kind of characters his brothers had grown to be before acknowledging them. With uncertainty, he chose to wait and see. He was patient and not rash. He is known to be a wise man.
When Joseph accused his brothers of being spies, a crime punishable by death, he was testing them. It was not with any retaliation. He just wanted to find out whether they were God-fearing and truthful or still liars as in the past.
Joseph trusted in God. He had faith that God is in control of every event in his life. He did not give up believing in God’s power and love even when he was down in the pit, sold as a slave, falsely accused of a crime that he did not commit and imprisoned. When he met his long lost brothers, no thoughts of revenge crossed his mind. There was no space for pride or self confidence in his heart. He was filled with the Spirit of God! He believed that God’s plan will never fail. Do you?
Thought: God’s words always come true. So,His plan can never fail.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, You are almighty. Whatever You have said will surely come true. Nobody and nothing can ever change Your plan or cause it to fail. Thank You most of all for Your salvation plan for me and all mankind. Without that, we will not have eternal life. Thank You for giving us the Lord Jesus Christ to be our saviour. In His wonderful name, I pray. Amen.
