- It's another thing to think, "oh, my god,
- 00:04:50.871 --> 00:04:52.506
- "oh, my god, he's done that."
- 00:04:52.573 --> 00:04:53.707

- For your life today. look with me in genesis 45.

- Look with me in genesis 45. i'll begin with
- 00:05:00.647 --> 00:05:01.248
- I'll begin with the famous verse,
- 00:05:01.315 --> 00:05:02.182
- The famous verse, verse 5, "but now,
- 00:05:02.249 --> 00:05:04.351
- Verse 5, "but now, do not therefore be grieved
- 00:05:04.418 --> 00:05:05.919
- Do not therefore be grieved or angry with yourselves."
- 00:05:05.986 --> 00:05:07.755
- Or angry with yourselves." this is joseph
- 00:05:07.821 --> 00:05:08.422
- This is joseph talking to his brothers.
- 00:05:08.489 --> 00:05:10.290
- Talking to his brothers. "because you sold me here.
- 00:05:10.357 --> 00:05:12.559
- "because you sold me here. for god sent me before you
- 00:05:12.626 --> 00:05:15.295
- For god sent me before you to preserve your life."
- 00:05:15.362 --> 00:05:19.500
- To preserve your life." verse 7, "and god sent me
- 00:05:19.566 --> 00:05:21.635
- Verse 7, "and god sent me before you to preserve
- 00:05:21.702 --> 00:05:24.405
- Before you to preserve a prosperity --
- 00:05:24.471 --> 00:05:25.973
- A prosperity -- a posterity for you
- 00:05:26.039 --> 00:05:27.141
- A posterity for you in the earth,
- 00:05:27.207 --> 00:05:28.375
- In the earth, and to save your lives
- 00:05:28.442 --> 00:05:29.910
- And to save your lives by a great deliverance."
- 00:05:29.977 --> 00:05:31.578
- By a great deliverance." one more time.
- 00:05:31.645 --> 00:05:32.446
- One more time. it says it in verse 11,
- 00:05:32.513 --> 00:05:33.781
- It says it in verse 11, "therefore, i," joseph,
- 00:05:33.847 --> 00:05:35.983
- "therefore, i," joseph, "will provide for you
- 00:05:36.049 --> 00:05:38.585
- "will provide for you and your household
- 00:05:38.652 --> 00:05:40.187
- And your household all you have,
- 00:05:40.254 --> 00:05:42.423
- All you have, come to poverty for that --
- 00:05:42.489 --> 00:05:44.391
- Come to poverty for that -- lest you come to poverty,
- 00:05:44.458 --> 00:05:45.893
- Lest you come to poverty, for there are is still
- 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:47.060
- For there are is still five years of famine."
- 00:05:47.127 --> 00:05:50.631
- Five years of famine." so, there are four ways
- 00:05:50.697 --> 00:05:52.833
- So, there are four ways that god will provide for us,
- 00:05:52.900 --> 00:05:56.103
- That god will provide for us, and they're found so easily
- 00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:57.571
- And they're found so easily in the scriptures.
- 00:05:57.638 --> 00:05:59.173
- In the scriptures. the first way that
- 00:05:59.239 --> 00:06:00.007
- The first way that god provides for you,
- 00:06:00.073 --> 00:06:01.341
- God provides for you, if you're taking notes,
- 00:06:01.408 --> 00:06:03.410
- If you're taking notes, is through the hand of man.
- 00:06:03.477 --> 00:06:05.546
- Is through the hand of man. that's exactly
- 00:06:05.612 --> 00:06:06.513
- That's exactly what happened in this text.
- 00:06:06.580 --> 00:06:08.515
- What happened in this text. the bible said that joseph
- 00:06:08.582 --> 00:06:10.818
- The bible said that joseph was talking to his brothers
- 00:06:10.884 --> 00:06:12.352
- Was talking to his brothers who had hurt him.
- 00:06:12.419 --> 00:06:13.687
- Who had hurt him. his brothers who had

- And gave the next tent three, and the next six?
- 00:18:01.394 --> 00:18:02.462
- And the next six? it's because they had
- 00:18:02.529 --> 00:18:03.229
- It's because they had more people in it,
- 00:18:03.296 --> 00:18:05.064
- More people in it, and god won't give you
- 00:18:05.131 --> 00:18:06.466
