Today we are reading Genesis 45. In this chapter we read about Joseph revealing himself to his brothers. “Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him. He cried, “Make everyone go out from me.” So no one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it. And Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence. So Joseph said to his brothers, “Come near to me, please.” And they came near. And he said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.”
Genesis 45:1-5 ESV At last the deception is ended! Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. This great news brings with it a whole new set of fears but Joseph reassures his brothers all will be well. Have you ever had such a dramatic change of fortune? It is rare. With God we can expect wonderful blessings at unexpected times. God loves us and helps us in our time of need. Pastor Tim
