THEME
Identity is a complicated thing. Our self-awareness is profoundly shaped by who our family is, by where we come from, and by the work we do, among other factors. When a person is raised in a dysfunctional family, is removed from his or her own culture, and has to work in a dead-end job, self-identity takes a triple hit. Joseph could have checked "all of the above"—a background of abuse, social disadvantages, and hopeless situations. He was harmed intentionally by people he should have been able to trust. He lost his family, his home, his reputation, his freedom. And yet, astonishingly, Joseph isn’t bitter. His final words speak of restoration and forgiveness and express a word of confidence in God whose hands shape and guide our futures toward a destiny that not only blesses us but cares for those around us in life-giving ways. For what God starts, he finishes. What the Lord promises, he fulfils.
THEME VERSE
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. Genesis 50:20
REMEMBER THIS WEEK
Joseph’s last word can be your word. You too can have confidence in God’s future, live assured in God’s timing, and walk boldly under God’s provision in any situation to be a blessing in all circumstances.
