Blessing upon Blessing



Genesis 45:3-28 

When God’s plans are finally revealed there is a fantastic sense of understanding and relief. It is always a joy to release my plans from my hands in order to fully embrace what God wants to do. Yesterday, we read about Judah’s plan to bring Benjamin back to Jacob in order to spare his life. Suddenly, Joseph reveals his true identity and those plans all fall away. Now it is time to receive the abundant blessings that God always had in mind for His children. Because of his position as Prime Minister (so to speak) he is able to provide an out-pouring of riches onto his entire family. Jacob’s life has been spared by God in order that he might see the incredible blessing of the return of his son, Joseph. Everyone stands amazed including us, the readers. This is because God is amazing. We don’t realize that sometimes because we don’t pay attention to Him. Maybe it’s time to give Him a chance to work His plan for our good.
