Hello sisters!
I hope you're getting your joy and strength from the Lord today and pressing on!
I was listening to the account of Joseph and his brothers and it's just such an inspiring one. We see God's plan behind it. And it makes you ponder how while a situation or something may look completely evil, we do not know everything or the full picture or plan of God. We know all things work for good to those that love Him. I'm sharing just a bit of this as it is an incredible account.
Then Joseph could not refrain himself before all them that stood by him; and he cried, Cause every man to go out from me. And there stood no man with him, while Joseph made himself known unto his brethren.
And he wept aloud: and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live? And his brethren could not answer him; for they were troubled at his presence.
And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come near to me, I pray you. And they came near. And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt.
Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life.
For these two years hath the famine been in the land: and yet there are five years, in the which there shall neither be earing nor harvest.
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.
Haste ye, and go up to my father, and say unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath made me lord of all Egypt: come down unto me, tarry not:
Genesis 45:1-9
Our God does many wonderful works!
He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.Psalm 111:4
Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.Psalm 40:5
Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!Psalm 107:8
And in His perfect time, He sent us a wonderful Saviour!
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.Isaiah 9:6
Thanks be unto God for His unspeakable gift!
He is the Creator of this world and has His own plan and timings for everything. We know not when the Lord's day will be exactly...but we have been told to be aware of the signs and be ready at all times. It will not come upon us as a thief, as it will to the world, if we are ready and watching. So let us be faithful and preparing for His return.
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11
Keep pressing on faithfully in whatever the Lord has given you sisters! Hold fast till He comes!
Love and peace unto you in His name.
