  • Look with me in genesis 45. i'll begin with
  • 00:02:28.361 --> 00:02:28.962
  • I'll begin with the famous verse,
  • 00:02:29.028 --> 00:02:29.896
  • The famous verse, verse 5, "but now,
  • 00:02:29.963 --> 00:02:32.065
  • Verse 5, "but now, do not therefore be grieved
  • 00:02:32.131 --> 00:02:33.633
  • Do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves."
  • 00:02:33.700 --> 00:02:35.468
  • Or angry with yourselves." this is joseph
  • 00:02:35.535 --> 00:02:36.135
  • This is joseph talking to his brothers.
  • 00:02:36.202 --> 00:02:38.004
  • Talking to his brothers. "because you sold me here.
  • 00:02:38.071 --> 00:02:40.273
  • "because you sold me here. for god sent me before you
  • 00:02:40.340 --> 00:02:43.009
  • For god sent me before you to preserve your life."
  • 00:02:43.076 --> 00:02:47.213
  • To preserve your life." verse 7, "and god sent me
  • 00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.349
  • Verse 7, "and god sent me before you to preserve
  • 00:02:49.415 --> 00:02:52.118
  • Before you to preserve a prosperity --
  • 00:02:52.185 --> 00:02:53.686
  • A prosperity -- a posterity for you
  • 00:02:53.753 --> 00:02:54.854
  • A posterity for you in the earth,
  • 00:02:54.921 --> 00:02:56.089
  • In the earth, and to save your lives
  • 00:02:56.155 --> 00:02:57.624
  • And to save your lives by a great deliverance."
  • 00:02:57.690 --> 00:02:59.292
  • By a great deliverance." one more time.
  • 00:02:59.359 --> 00:03:00.159
  • One more time. it says it in verse 11,
  • 00:03:00.226 --> 00:03:01.494
  • It says it in verse 11, "therefore, i," joseph,
  • 00:03:01.561 --> 00:03:03.696
  • "therefore, i," joseph, "will provide for you
  • 00:03:03.763 --> 00:03:06.299
  • "will provide for you and your household
  • 00:03:06.366 --> 00:03:07.900
  • And your household all you have,
  • 00:03:07.967 --> 00:03:10.136
  • All you have, come to poverty for that --
  • 00:03:10.203 --> 00:03:12.105
  • Come to poverty for that -- lest you come to poverty,
  • 00:03:12.171 --> 00:03:13.606
  • Lest you come to poverty, for there are is still
  • 00:03:13.673 --> 00:03:14.774
  • For there are is still five years of famine."
  • 00:03:14.841 --> 00:03:18.344
  • Five years of famine." so, there are four ways
  • 00:03:18.411 --> 00:03:20.546
  • So, there are four ways that god will provide for us,
  • 00:03:20.613 --> 00:03:23.816
  • That god will provide for us, and they're found so easily
  • 00:03:23.883 --> 00:03:25.285
  • And they're found so easily in the scriptures.
  • 00:03:25.351 --> 00:03:26.886
  • In the scriptures. the first way that
  • 00:03:26.953 --> 00:03:27.720
  • The first way that god provides for you,
  • 00:03:27.787 --> 00:03:29.055
  • God provides for you, if you're taking notes,
  • 00:03:29.122 --> 00:03:31.124
  • If you're taking notes, is through the hand of man.
  • 00:03:31.190 --> 00:03:33.259
  • Is through the hand of man. that's exactly
  • 00:03:33.326 --> 00:03:34.227
  • That's exactly what happened in this text.
  • 00:03:34.294 --> 00:03:36.229
  • What happened in this text. the bible said that joseph
  • 00:03:36.296 --> 00:03:38.531
  • The bible said that joseph was talking to his brothers
  • 00:03:38.598 --> 00:03:40.066
  • Was talking to his brothers who had hurt him.
  • 00:03:40.133 --> 00:03:41.401
  • Who had hurt him. his brothers who had
  • 00:03:41.467 --> 00:03:43.236
  • His brothers who had thrown him in a pit
  • 00:03:43.303 --> 00:03:44.404
  • Thrown him in a pit and stolen his birthright.
  • 00:03:44.470 --> 00:03:46.739
  • And stolen his birthright. and then he turns around
  • 00:03:46.806 --> 00:03:48.508
  • And then he turns around and he says to them,
  • 00:03:48.574 --> 00:03:50.243
  • And he says to them, "you meant it for my evil.
  • 00:03:50.310 --> 00:03:51.911
  • "you meant it for my evil. i'm not bitter.
  • 00:03:51.978 --> 00:03:52.779
  • I'm not bitter. i'm not offended.
  • 00:03:52.845 --> 00:03:53.980
  • I'm not offended. i'm not angry.
  • 00:03:54.047 --> 00:03:55.281
  • I'm not angry. you meant it for my evil.
  • 00:03:55.348 --> 00:03:57.450
  • You meant it for my evil. but i see how
  • 00:03:57.517 --> 00:03:58.418
  • But i see how god used what you
  • 00:03:58.484 --> 00:04:00.687
  • God used what you put me through
  • 00:04:00.753 --> 00:04:01.988
  • Put me through for my good.
  • 00:04:02.055 --> 00:04:04.290
  • For my good. i wouldn't be
  • 00:04:04.357 --> 00:04:04.991
  • I wouldn't be where i am today."
  • 00:04:05.058 --> 00:04:06.125
  • Where i am today." well, where was he?
  • 00:04:06.192 --> 00:04:07.126

  • Let's talk about that for just one minute.
  • 00:04:09.128 --> 00:04:10.763
  • For just one minute. he was working,
  • 00:04:10.830 --> 00:04:11.964
