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.

God Equips the Called

Today's Word:

"The Lord said to him, 'Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord?'" — Exodus 4:11 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Word:

Moses felt inadequate when God called him to lead Israel. He focused on his weaknesses, but God reminded him that He is the Creator of all abilities. Often, we doubt ourselves, thinking we lack the skills or strength to fulfill our calling. But God does not call the equipped—He equips the called. When He gives us a task, He also provides the ability to carry it out. Instead of dwelling on our limitations, we must trust in His power working through us.

Prayer of the Day:

Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding me that You are the source of all strength and ability. Forgive me when I doubt myself and forget that You are with me. Help me to trust You completely and walk in obedience, knowing that You will equip me for every purpose You have for my life. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection:

What areas of your life do you feel unqualified for? How can you shift your focus from your limitations to God’s power? Trust that He will give you what you need to fulfill His calling.
