Genesis 45-48 I just can't wait!

Today has been one of those days where God has caught me by surprise over and over again. It has been the kind of day where God has shown me his love though a huge number of circumstances and people….I love this kind of day. I am pretty sure that God does too!

I was able to read through some of the happiest chapters in the Bible tonight. I got to re-live the moment when Joseph’s brothers learn that he is alive and well, I saw as they received forgiveness for a mistake that had haunted them for decades. I saw as Jacob got his son back., and as an entire nation was saved from a famine and brought to safety.

It was a good night!

As awesome as these passages were for me to read, I can’t imagine how much fun as it was for God to write them in the first place…

I can only imagine God watching as all of these people suffered, and waited for God to move. I bet that he was so excited! I can only imagine him standing over the whole scene saying “if only they knew” “If only my people had a clue of what I have in store for them, it would blow their minds.” I can’t imagine the joy that he felt as he finally saw all of his pieces come together!

What continues to amaze me about this happy passage is the fact that our lives will eventually look a lot like it. A moment will come when all of the bad will suddenly be blown away by joy.

We will finally be surrounded by peace!

We will find forgiveness and the ability to forgive!

We will be reunited with those that we had thought to be dead.

Our fear will melt away…

Our reaction will look a lot like Joseph’s…we will hold onto our family and weep for joy.

I know that God is still looking into our lives (especially on the hard days) and saying to himself “If they only knew”

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to see it all!
