Genesis 43.   The brothers returned to Egypt with Benjamin, not knowing whether they would live or die – since the money they had given the governor before had been secretly put back into their bags.  Zaphenath-paneah had ordered that they go to a feast at his home.  Simeon is returned to them.  Joseph comes and questions them, and has to leave their presence because it is hard for him to control his emotions.  He must maintain the secret long enough to test his brothers once more.  his servant knows that it is his God and the God of his father who is behind these events.

LORD, when we face life’s challenging moments, may we do so with the confidence that you are in sovereign control of both today’s events and tomorrow’s destiny.
