Genesis 37

Joseph, as favorite, apparently felt pretty secure in order to relay his dreams to his family. Didn’t he realize it would make everyone upset? Here we see many of the same issues that have caused problems before, including favoritism and sibling rivalry. And it’s compounded by Joseph’s…attitude? Lack of awareness? Pride? His dreams served as both a prediction and an impetus, since they bring his brothers antagonism to the boiling point. God, in His sovereignty, knew this would happen. In fact, he makes sure of it!

Genesis 37:15 (WEB) “A certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. The man asked him, ‘What are you looking for?’ “

Thought for the day: God has a purpose and a plan, and He will make sure that it happens.  And His plan is so much better than our plans!

Romans 8:28 (WEB) “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
