God’s promise hasn’t failed. He’s still at work, bringing all things into alignment to bring a miraculous salvation so that all the world will know that He is the One True God.
We have hope in the midst of growing darkness that God raises up a redeemer. God is working in all things, has them all in his hand, preparing to bring about a momentous deliverance!
Though Joseph and his brothers prospered in the land of Egypt, they knew their true home was in the Land God had promised to them in Canaan. So too, are we to prosper in the places God has given us, always remembering where our true home is.
The story of Joseph’s life is a story of restoration. A story that has within it multiple aspects of people seeking out what had been lost.
Joseph was lost to his brothers, and the brothers were lost to Joseph. Even though they were separated, it was God’s intention to bring them back together.
