Genesis 43-45 - A Mighty Restoration

Is there any more dramatic account in all the Bible than the account of Joseph and what occurs between him and his brothers? This passage certainly comes near the top of the list of emotion-laden accounts in Scripture.

Unpacking the details of this account definitely helps us to live in the emotion of the redemptive moment, but personal application in this passage can be hard to come by.

Sometimes the best personal application can be to sit back and bask in the glow of the amazing sovereignty of God displayed here. This may lead us then to ask, "Why was God so good to Jacob, and Joseph, and this particular family? What about all the others who starved or ended up utterly destitute because of this massive famine?"

The Bible answers such questions for us.
