—Acts 7:9-15a
by: Dorothy Noel.
God redeemed Joseph from his afflictions, showering him with an abundance of grace. So, when Joseph’s family came asking for food, Joseph extended that same grace to them, inviting them all into his home. Even though Joseph’s brothers had dealt unfairly with him, Joseph recognized that it is God who provides and protects, so he chose to work within God’s plan to protect his family—God’s chosen people of Israel. How can we see God’s purpose in the lives of those we love, even those who hurt us?
