MEANWHILE

Today's reading: Genesis 36-39

"His family all tried to comfort him, but it was no use. I will die in mourning for my son, he would say, and then being to weep. Meanwhile, in Egypt, the traders sold Joseph to Potiphar..." Genesis 37:35-36 NLT

I don't know what heartache you are healing from...

What storm you are riding out...

What dream has been shattered into a million pieces at your feet...

What promise you're clinging to with all your strength...

What prayer you're continuing to pray morning after morning, after morning, after morning...

But I do know this:

Meanwhile, God is at work.

We don't always see it.

We sure don't always know it.

We may not fully believe it.

We just have to trust it!

Jacob was heartbroken, sorrowful, wiped out over the news of Joseph's 'death'. God, however, was up to His godly ways--in circumstances, in people, in places beyond our eyesight, in specific happenings that would eventually lead to a reunion and a feast for a famine-hungry family.

I believe, because we are loved as much as God loved Jacob's family, we can trust in the 'meanwhiles'.
