"Jonty on Joseph"

Genesis 45.17 - Joseph reveals himself to his brothers

 

Genesis 50.15-21

• Joseph’s integrity is complete. He has the power to take control, but he relinquishes control to God. 
• It’s impressive that he refuses to control his outcomes in case it compromises the work of God in his life.
• How can we leave space for God to work even in difficult times?
• Genesis 42.36 - Jacob lacks the faith Joseph has.
• Decide not to overthink what God is doing. Let him do his work in his time.
• Ask ourselves whether we are doing what we are doing for the glory of God rather than ourselves.
• The more Bible we know and the more of the nature of God we know, the more we will be able to trust Him when we cannot fathom what he is doing, or why, or how things are going to resolve in a positive way.
