In our text today, Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers. Instead of lashing out in anger or vengence, he comforts his brothers. He tells them not to "be grieved or angry" for what they did because God used their actions for the good of all of them.\\xa0

Joseph's perspective on the wrongs done to him allowed him to not be angry or bitter for his years of suffering. He saw that all of that was used by God to provide salvation for their entire family.\\xa0

What is your perspective on the difficult circumstances you are in? God is able to bring good from bad. He is sovereign over the virus, your unemployment, your fear -- no matter your situation, God knows about it and wants to use it for good. Do you believe that?
