Some news feels too good to trust at first. You hear the words, but your mind cannot catch up.
Pharaoh hears that Joseph’s brothers have come, and he is pleased. He tells Joseph to load the brothers’ animals, return to Canaan, and bring Jacob’s whole household to Egypt, where they will receive the best of the land.
In Luke 15, the father sees his lost son returning and runs to embrace him, celebrating because the son was dead and is alive again. Jacob’s response echoes that joy from the other side.
God can bring hope into places that grief has occupied for years. Jacob did not know the whole story, but God had been preserving Joseph all along.
Jacob hears that Joseph is alive, and His spirit revives. The gospel announces something even greater: Jesus, who was crucified, is alive forever.
Look for one “wagon,” one evidence of God’s care you might overlook because grief or disappointment has made you guarded. Write it down.

God, sometimes hope feels hard to trust because grief has been loud for so long. Open my eyes to evidence of Your care. Thank You that Jesus is alive and that His resurrection is stronger than my numbness.
