Sight governs our responses but today’s chapter holds one of the greatest examples of supernatural perspective ever recorded…

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
When things come my way – whether good or bad – I want to have a supernatural perspective. I want to 
stop, think, then check any new situation against my Maker’s instructions. So, I’m amazed again today, at Joseph’s ability to embrace and forgive his brothers in today’s chapter. After testing them to ensure that they could be trusted with his identity, and after seeing Judah trade his own life for Benjamin’s – Judah was the brother who suggested selling Joseph into slavery in the first place[a] – Joseph broke down in uncontrollable tears. [v2]
In an emotional reunion, Joseph poured out his love on his brothers – lavishing them with food, clothes and gifts. I’m convinced that this was only possible because he saw the events of his life from a supernatural perspective. He no longer saw his brothers as initiators of disaster but instead, as instruments in getting him to where he ended up. [v4-5]
