Recognizing God's Purpose

Today's Word "So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. Then Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, 'You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!'" — Genesis 42:8-9 (NKJV) Thoughts on Today's Word  Joseph’s journey from being betrayed by his brothers to becoming a ruler in Egypt was filled with hardship, yet God’s purpose was being fulfilled. When Joseph saw his brothers, he remembered the dreams God had given him years earlier. At that moment, he realized that everything—his suffering, separation, and rise to power—was all part of God's divine plan. Often, we go through trials without understanding why. Like Joseph, we may feel forgotten or unfairly treated. But in time, God’s purpose is revealed. What once seemed like pain can become a stepping stone to a greater calling.

A Redeeming Love

 

Today's Word:

"But Ruth replied, ‘Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God.'" — Ruth 1:16 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today'sWord:

The story of Ruth is one of loyalty, love, and redemption. Ruth’s commitment to Naomi goes beyond familial duty; it reflects a deep and selfless love that mirrors God’s love for us. Ruth left her homeland, her culture, and everything familiar to follow Naomi into the unknown, trusting that Naomi’s God would also be her God.

Just as Ruth chose to embrace a new life and place her trust in God, we too are called to step out in faith. Even in the hardest of times, when we feel like we are losing everything, God’s love remains steadfast. He redeems our brokenness, and like Ruth, He invites us into a story of hope and restoration.

Today, reflect on the areas in your life where God might be asking you to trust Him, to follow Him into the unknown. He is a God of redeeming love, always at work behind the scenes, turning our losses into His greater purpose.

Prayer of the Day:

Dear Lord, thank You for Your redeeming love that never fails. Like Ruth, help me to trust You fully, even when the path ahead is unclear. Give me the courage to follow where You lead, and remind me that Your plans are for my good and Your glory. Redeem the broken places in my life and let Your love shine through me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
