Genesis.

All the stories.

Creation: working and relaxing.

Sin and some complicated fruit.

The Ark and all those animals.

Abram, I mean Abraham.

Esau's hunger gets the best of him.

Jacob really likes this one girl. I mean, he likes her A LOT.

Joseph's brothers are mean.

Joseph gets in trouble because of a lying, lonely woman.

but you know what?

Jacob, I mean Israel, and his children (and their children, and their children, and...) move to Egypt, the land of plenty.

Joseph forgives his brothers. He goes, “Don’t be afraid.
I am not God! I have no right to punish you.
It is true that you planned to do something bad to me.
But really, God was planning good things.
God’s plan was to use me to save the lives of many people. And that is what happened.
So don’t be afraid. I will take care of you and your children.”

Bad things happen. Thanks, sin. 🙄

God is planning good things.

Even if the situation looks hopeless.

Do what you can. You know, all the legal, above board stuff.

and then....
Trust.

Happy Sabbath!

Oh, put God to the test and see how kind he is! See for yourself the way his mercies shower down on all who trust in him.
