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.

The God Who Sees and Defends

Today's Word:

"If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. But God has seen my hardship and the toil of my hands, and He rebuked you last night." — Genesis 31:42 (NIV)

Thoughts on Today's Word:

Jacob's words remind us that God is always watching over His children. Though Jacob faced mistreatment and injustice, God saw his struggles and defended him. Sometimes in life, we feel unseen and unappreciated, especially when our hard work goes unnoticed. But just like God saw Jacob's hardships, He sees yours too. God is not indifferent to your pain. He is your defender, working behind the scenes to protect, provide, and vindicate you at the right time.

Prayer of the Day:

Heavenly Father, thank You for being the God who sees me. When I feel overlooked or mistreated, remind me that You are my defender. Help me trust that You are working in my life, even when I cannot see it. Give me the strength to keep going, knowing that You will always fight for me. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Reflection:

Are there areas in your life where you feel unseen or wronged? Take a moment today to surrender those situations to God and trust Him to be your defender. He sees you, He loves you, and He is working on your behalf.
