Genesis 45:5-8 NIV
[5] 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 be no 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.
39-year-old Joseph talking to his brothers who sold him into slavery 22 years previously. Not surprisingly they were worried. Joseph spoke truth to them. He could see where all along God had a plan and was working things out. Working things out so that he would be able to save the lives of the very men who had planned on taking his at one time. I want to live my life like Joseph. Trusting that He is in control and has a plan and will work everything out for good.
