Genesis 45: Trust God!

It seems the same old themes are coming through time and time again in Genesis, and chapter 45 is no different. In this chapter we see Joseph reveal himself to his brothers, and in verse 8 he tells them "It was not you who sent me here, but God". This just blows me away: thrown down a well, sold into slavery, falsely accused and imprisoned, and able to turn to those who were to blame and tell them 'you meant it for harm, but God turned it to good'. WOW! So how do we apply that to our own lives? We need to trust God in whatever our circumstances; whether we're in the well or the palace, the mountain or the valley, trust God! What a challenge, but what a great one to embark upon, a life full of trust, no matter what comes our way.
