Acting Wisely

Read the Bible through:
AM –
Psalm 107-111 : PM – Rom. 7

RECOGNIZING GOD’S HAND
Genesis 41:25-28

28 “This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.”


There are many ways we can experience the hand of God: We can see God’s hand as we look around us. We can hear His voice blowing in the wind. We can feel His touch everywhere we go. These thoughts remind us that our Heavenly father consistently communicates with us in ways we can understand.

As Joseph made sense of Pharaoh’s important dream, he led this ruler to perceive God’s merciful work. The Lord was warning Pharaoh to prepare his people for impending famine. Without Joseph’s wisdom, Pharaoh would have remained oblivious to the divine purpose unfolding before him and missed this vital admonition from God. The Heavenly Father is at work today just as He was in the days of Pharaoh and Joseph. Have we become too distracted to recognize our Heavenly Father’s hand?

Lord, teach me to be sensitive to Your presence today.
