—Genesis 44:14-17
by: Dorothy Noel.
Remember back to Joseph’s dream in Genesis 37? Here that dream was fulfilled with the brothers bowing before Joseph. Also note the brothers’ willingness to acknowledge God’s all-knowing presence and give themselves up with their youngest brother for punishment. Looking back to Genesis 37, Judah had been willing to sell his brother for profit, but now he wanted to take on his brother’s consequences. Over the years, God had been humbling his heart. May we all grow in maturity and humility while learning from our past mistakes.
