The example of Joseph in the book of Genesis is inspiring to think about and apply to each day. Even though he had made mistakes of being impulsive with his words to his brothers, he developed an intense trust that God would work out the injustice done to him. Sold into slavery, falsely accused and imprisoned, forgotten by the ones who could have helped him could have left him bitter. He could have unleashed a lot of harsh words toward his brothers but realized that he has been positioned to help them. I’m reminded that I do not see what God is doing behind the scene. The drama happening in unseen ways by our Creator can be trusted for His outcome. He is loving and drawing us to Him despite the cruelty of our world.
