Acts 7:18
“until there arose over Egypt another king who did not know Joseph.”
God can take evil and use it for good, as He did here when He raised up another king over Egypt who did not like the Jewish people or know Joseph. Nothing escaped the hand of God, and His power places and removes kings, monarchs and presidents. The king’s heart is like a channel of water in the hand of God, and He turns it wherever He wishes.
This history lesson
Reminds us that history
Is His Story
God directed and allowed this change in dynasty for a reason, specifically His plan. Scripture amply attests to God’s rule over His Creation. Father God, You alone rule over all of creation. You direct kings and rulers, and are the King of my heart and rule over my circumstances as well. Allow me to see You in the fog, hear Your voice in the chaos, and move with You past the pain. Help me to glorify You, worship You and praise You no matter what my circumstances feel, or look like, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Recognize God’s hand in my life
