Thank God for His word

Genesis 50:15-21 (New King James Version)

Joseph Reassures His Brothers


15 When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.” 16 So they sent messengers to Joseph, saying, “Before your father died he commanded, saying, 17 ‘Thus you shall say to Joseph: “I beg you, please forgive the trespass of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you.”’ Now, please, forgive the trespass of the servants of the God of your father.” And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18 Then his brothers also went and fell down before his face, and they said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19 Joseph said to them, “Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? 20 But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. 21 Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones.” And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.


For God meant it for good..

Thank You.

I have always thrived on my bitterness and resentment towards my wife; based on all that has happened and all the choices she has made that has done nothing but cause a lot of pain, not only for me, but for my children as well. But, this is a view from my earthly reactions apart the perspective that God has invested in my life's growth and endurance that Christ had portrayed back in the day.

But, knowing that God has been behind these trials has put out any doubts that my life is on a bad journey. I have been severely depressed with no way of getting released, or so I thought. This is why it is so important to seek your devotional every day. Without doing so, I would continue on my spiraling fall without an end.

I had prayed that I let go of everything so that I could forgive instead of convict. So that I could move on. So that God could continue His restoration in my life. Before, I just wanted to burn bridges, now, I would like to bridge the indifference in the way I view life. I had continually wanted to die, reciting death chants, disregarding a desire to see the future of my children w/ their daddy.
