Joseph’s brother had to report to their father that he, who they thought they’d left for dead or as a slave thirteen years earlier, was alive. God did not suffice it to be that Joseph had merely survived the assault by his brothers, although that was itself a miracle. But it is important that we do not fail to see God’s nastiest work in his life because of the profundity of his testimony of survival. His survival pales in comparison to the thriving that God caused him to do. Of all the places, God blessed Joseph to live and thrive in the country of Egypt, historically an epicenter of progression. The new and true report that Joseph’s brothers had to give to their decade-long grieved father was, ‘“Joseph is still alive! In fact, he is ruler of all Egypt.” Jacob was stunned; he did not believe them.’ Genesis 45:26 NIV May this tenth month of 2026 be the month that God uses your attempted assassins as your official reporters about how you are “Thriving and Not Just Surviving!”
