PRAISE THE LORD
WORD FOR TODAY
LEAVE IT IN GOD’S HANDS
Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery that led to thirteen years of suffering, heartache, and pain. Yet after Joseph was made second in command of all Egypt, when those same brothers came before him asking for food, he didn’t say, “It’s payback time! The reason God could promote Joseph to that level is because He could trust Joseph to handle the power correctly and be good to people who had not been good to him. Joseph wept, embraced, and kissed his brothers(Genesis 45:15). He gave them food and land and took care of his entire family. Give people the grace to change when they acknowledge their mistake. You don’t have to befriend them and allow them all access, but you need to get to the point where you’ve let go of the offense. Be a Joseph. Let God pay back the people who hurt you. You’re not the judge and jury. Leave it in God’s hands(Romans 12:19).
HAVE A WONDERFUL NEW WEEK
