WISE FORGIVENESS

Genesis 45:1-15

Wise forgiveness is difficult and rare. It needs an exquisite blend of graciousness and firmness. Joseph had a ticklish job on his hands. His brothers didn’t want forgiveness. They weren’t penitent. It wasn’t simply that he should have a forgiving spirit toward them, but that he should so handle them as to lead to that brokenness of heart in them that would long for forgiveness and be grateful for it, and become utterly changed in conduct.

1 John 2:1  My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

SCHOOLTIME

 Matthew 25:14-30

This is schooltime. We’re in training. There’s a new order of things coming to the earth some day. God carries an ideal in his heart. Some day he will carry it out on this old earth. In that ideal time coming he will need men and women whom he has trained, and whose experience and judgment he can trust. Let’s be good scholars in school, patient, steady, quick to learn, with unfailing trust in the Teacher.

Hebrews 10:31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

GOD’S CLOCK

Genesis 41:25-32

There’s a simplicity about God in working out his plans, yet a resourcefulness equal to any difficulty, and an unswerving faithfulness to his trusting child, and an unforgetting steadiness in holding to his purpose. Through a fellow-prisoner, then a dream, he lifts Joseph from a prison to a premiership. And the length of stay in the prison prevents dizziness in the premier. It’s safe to trust God’s methods, and to go by his clock.

Hebrews 10:30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.

OPEN UPWARD

 Genesis 41:14-24

God prefers using natural ways of working out his plans. Nature is really his method of working. He speaks to Pharaoh through a dream, so vivid that it seems distinctly significant. He makes clear to Joseph’s mental processes just what that significance is. Joseph is open to God. So he could get what was being given. Keep open to God in heart and head and life; and when you need rain look toward the sea.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

KEEP IN TOUCH

Genesis 41:1-13

God is practical, so intensely practical. He can be depended on, absolutely, in every blind alley, for every sort of help needed. If a man’ll quietly, strongly keep in simple, full touch of heart and head and life with God, he’ll become equal to any emergency that comes. Wisdom, dollars, strength to hold true, gift of leadership, whatever is needed, will come, and it will come in time. The thing is to keep in touch and hold steady.
