It’s a Godsend!

No, it is not Kismet or coincidence; it’s a Godsend.

God blesses His children. He sends good things our way.

Spiteful brothers sold Joseph into slavery. Yet, in reality, it was his heavenly Father who sent him away to Egypt.

“Joseph could no longer keep his composure in front of all his attendants, so he called out, ‘Send everyone away from me!’ No one was with him when he revealed his identity to his brothers. But he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard it, and also Pharaoh’s household heard it. Joseph said to his brothers, ‘I am Joseph! Is my father still living?’ But they could not answer him because they were terrified in his presence.

Then Joseph said to his brothers, ‘Please, come near me,’ and they came near. ‘I am Joseph, your brother,’ he said, ‘the one you sold into Egypt. And now don’t be worried or angry with yourselves for selling me here, because God sent me ahead of you to preserve life. For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there will be five more years without plowing or harvesting. God sent me ahead of you to establish you as a remnant within the land and to keep you alive by a great deliverance. Therefore it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household, and ruler over all the land of Egypt (Genesis 45:1-8 NKJV).”
