All Things Work Together for Good

Really, All things

Today's Through the Bible Reading: Genesis 40-41

Abbreviated Reading: Genesis 41

“…For God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” Genesis 41:52

Joseph’s choice of words here challenges my thinking: “God hath caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.” Joseph didn’t praise God for delivering him from his affliction, but for the fruit that came out of it. In the midst of missery, he remained convinced that God’s plans were being accomplished.

Again, Joseph points our eyes to Jesus Himself.
