Genesis 37: 28: “Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.” Joseph was sent by his father Jacob to check on his brothers. The brothers are sick of Joseph and his (in their minds) delusions of grandeur. All but one brother wanted to kill him. They decide to throw him in a pit. God had a plan. That plan was to get Joseph to Egypt, have him thrown in prison, for him to be elevated to the second in command of all Egypt, have all of the Israelites move to Egypt so they will be eventually made slaves, so that God would deliver them through Moses out of bondage. So, do you think it was just by chance that some Midianite merchants headed to Egypt just happened to show up? Of course not! God is continually working in your lives to bring about His perfect plan. Never think things happen for no reason at all. They don’t. Live life knowing that God is at work.
