—Genesis 47:1-12
by: Trisha Gerstel.
God provided for Jacob and his family long before the famine came to Canaan. Before Joseph’s brothers threw him in a well, God had a plan to provide food for Jacob in his time of need. God’s provision came before Jacob ran from Esau (which resulted in him meeting Rachel), before he stole his brother’s birthright, even before he was formed in his mother’s womb. Before the beginning of time, God provided food for Jacob and his family during the famine in Canaan, and He has done the same for us. It may take time for us to see the fruit of His plans, but they are active, nonetheless. Amen.
