But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here ahead of you to preserve your lives.

‍Genesis 45:5

So, it was God who sent me here, not you! And he is the one who made me an adviser to Pharaoh—the manager of his entire palace and the governor of all Egypt.
Genesis 45:8

How awesome it is when we get to the other side of our season of suffering and see clearly God was there all the time!!

God is present in the meanwhiles of life.

• Time isn’t wasted.
• Suffering is worthwhile.
• Lessons are invaluable.

Sometimes we have to go through the meanwhile to:

• See God in a way we might not have ever seen Him had we not been in a meanwhile.
• Experience God in a way we might not have ever seen Him had we not been in a meanwhile.
• Have revelation from God in a way we might not have ever seen Him had we not been in a meanwhile.

I wouldn’t trade my meanwhile seasons for anything.

It was God!! He was there all the time.

Judah answered, “Oh, my lord, what can we say to you? How can we explain this? How can we prove our innocence? God is punishing us for our sins. My lord, we have all returned to be your slaves—all of us, not just our brother who had your cup in his sack.”
Genesis 44:16
