Today, I am reading and commenting on  Genesis 45-47.

Many people hold a grudge against those who have wronged them, even after the end result of the wrong is something markedly better than anyone could have imagined happening to them without the wrong first occurring.  Joseph did not.  When Joseph’s brothers discovered who he was, they were terrified.  They were sure that he would use his position to get revenge on them for the wrong they had done him.  However, Joseph looked at what they had done and realized that God had used it to get him to where he was.  Instead of seeking revenge against his brothers for what they had done to him, Joseph praised God for putting him into those bad circumstances in order for him to be in the position to do good things later.

I use the daily Bible reading schedule from “The Bible.net” for my daily Bible reading.
