PJP2 PROLOG POST 160115 Genesis 45:5-8a (NIV)/(emphasis added/jaj)….”{Joseph said to his brothers)….’And Now, Do NOT be distressed and Do NOT be angry with yourselves for selling me here, BECAUSE It Was to SAVE That God Sent me ahead of you.  For two years now there has been famine in the land, and for the next five years there will not be plowing and reaping.  BUT GOD Sent me Ahead of you to Preserve for you A Remnant on earth AND To SAVE your Lives By A GREAT DELIVERANCE.  So then, It Was NOT you who sent me here, BUT GOD….

You just have to Love God’s Good Endings to His Story.  I mean, when I put myself in Joseph’s shoes, I’m not sure I would have come up with Genesis 45:5-8a.  No, I’m not sure I would have been able to See God’s Hand Working through what I had experienced the past 20 years, all because these bone-heads standing in front of me were jealous. 

Yet, this POWS is So Reflective of God’s Grace, God’s Love, God’s Being In Total Control and God’s Employment of even the worst of circumstances to Still Provide His Salvation for us. 

I can Hear The Holy Spirit Saying, “Jeff, take this same POWS and Have The Lord Jesus Say them to His disciples, or even to you”…..Ok, let’s try that…..

And The Lord Jesus Said to me, “Jeff, don’t you be distressed, or mad at yourself for your sin being The Cause for My death on the cross.  BECAUSE God The Father Used My Cross as His Means to SAVE you.  He Sent Me Ahead of you, Jeff, to Ensure His Plan of Salvation Was Secured for you before you got here.  Understand, Jeff, that this world remains in a state of famine of Spirit from not turning to God The Father.  Yet I Encourage you to Always Remember This – BUT GOD Sent Me!  He Sent Me Ahead of you To PRESERVE you for a Right Relationship with Him.  Take Heart, Jeff, God’s Remnant is Still Around you.  By His Mighty Power, My Resurrection Is your GREAT DELIVERANCE.  Never Forget Jeff, it was NOT you who sent me to the cross, BUT GOD, and I Went Freely To Pave your Way to Him.”

Thus that would be my Prayer of us today – Holy Spirit, Help us to Hear You, and to Respond in Faith to Your Calling to us to Join You.

May the Love, Light, Mercy and Grace ever be with you and yours.  Blessings!  jaj
