"We can no more imagine the good things He has waiting ahead for us, both in this life and in the life to come, than Jacob could have imagined his lost boy alive and ruling Egypt."
Charles Gallandet Trumbull
As quoted in: Streams In The Desert Morning And Evening p.209
Zondervan 2016 (1939)
Maybe a parent or spouse who thought their child/mate had died in war . . . only to discover them alive; maybe they've enjoyed a taste of Jacob's joy when he found out Joseph was not dead!
Alive, all by itself would offer overwheming joy.
But ruling Egypt, too? AND, in that wise ruling, able to save his family's lives in a severe famine, plus un-numbered others.
Only God could orchestrate that. The same God that orchestrates our lives and prepares provision and surprises for us.
To God Be The Glory!
Lonnie
