Day 1 - Sunday Sermon Recap

Welcome to day 1 of our devotional based on last Sunday’s testimony:

Genesis 50:15-21 - When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “What if Joseph holds a grudge against us and pays us back for all the wrongs we did to him?” So they sent word to Joseph, saying, “Your father left these instructions before he died: ‘This is what you are to say to Joseph: I ask you to forgive your brothers the sins and the wrongs they committed in treating you so badly.’ Now please forgive the sins of the servants of the God of your father.” When their message came to him, Joseph wept. His brothers then came and threw themselves down before him. “We are your slaves,” they said. But Joseph said to them, “Don’t be afraid. Am I in the place of God? You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. So then, don’t be afraid. I will provide for you and your children.” And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.

Joseph's words in Genesis 50:20 remind us that God is always present in our story, even in the midst of suffering or betrayal God is working His purpose. Like Hailey shared on Sunday, it took her years to recognize God's presence in the painful and difficult moments of her past. However just as in Joseph’s story those difficult and painful moments were part of God’s providence in leading Haley to fulfill God’s purpose in her life,

Today, reflect on a challenging time in your life. How might God have been working, even if you couldn't see it then? Remember, God can use our broken moments to shape us for His purposes. Pray for God to grant you eyes to see His hand in your current circumstances, trusting that He is weaving your story into His greater plan.
