God Uses People

As part of God's plan, Israel relocated to Egypt away from the land God promised him. God said that He is Israel's God and He would make Israel into a great nation in Egypt. God does everything to be glory to His name and to bring about His purpose. God said He would bring Israel would be brought back out of Egypt. This had two meanings, Israel's body would be brought back out and also Israel's descendants would be brought back out as well. The promise was from God, the promise was fulfilled by a human instrument, Joseph to bring out Israel's body and Moses to bring out Israel's descendants. God always keeps His promise and God has chosen to partner with people to accomplish His purpose. We may not be remembered in generations to come, but our purpose is not to be remembered it is to accomplish God's purpose. Our job, our role, may not be clear to us, but we can be greatly used by God anyway. We are to trust God and do what He says. God has chosen to partner with people to accomplish His purpose. Our emotions are not bad and it is not wrong to express them honestly. However, we are not governed by them. We should not bottle up our emotions. Jesus wept and that should tell us it is okay. But let's not think that whatever we feel is the ultimate reality. Israel stated that he was ready to die as if his life was complete after he saw that Joseph was alive.
