As you probably noticed by reading these devotionals, I would not have been selected most likely to become a pastor someday. My wife was a seventh grader when we first met. I never expected that we would date, marry and have a fiftieth wedding anniversary. So many events in life start out as an unexpected possibility, but God has a purpose and a plan that can be pleasantly revealed as the river of time flows. God can bring about a blessing that we would least expect.
That was the experience of Jacob when he was thoroughly convinced that he would never see Joseph again. I believe that was also the opinion of Joseph’s brothers; however, God had a different plan.
Genesis 48:11
Israel said to Joseph, “I never expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your children too.”
We don’t know what the Creator has for us just around the corner, but it can be worth the wait.
Think about it.
