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.

Set Apart for a Purpose

Today's Word:

“Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so they may serve me as priests.” – Exodus 28:1

Thoughts on Today's Word:

In this verse, God calls Aaron and his sons to a special purpose: to serve as priests before Him. This calling set them apart from the rest of the Israelites, reminding us that God appoints each of us to unique roles in His plan. Just as Aaron and his sons were equipped with specific garments and instructions, God provides everything we need to fulfill our calling.

You, too, are set apart for a divine purpose. Your gifts, talents, and circumstances are not accidental—they are part of God's design to glorify Him and bless others. Today, consider where God is calling you to serve and how He has equipped you for that role.

Prayer of the Day:

Heavenly Father, thank You for choosing me and setting me apart for Your purpose. Help me to walk in obedience and faith, trusting that You have equipped me for the work You’ve called me to do. Open my eyes to the opportunities to serve You and others today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Reflection:

What specific gifts or abilities has God given you to serve Him and others? How can you use them today to honor Him?
