It finally happened. The meeting that Joseph perhaps new would take place. A famine had swept through all the known world and many outside Egypt traveled to buy food. How would Joseph respond? Why did he act as he did when his brothers stood before him? I think there a several reasons among which was to determine their heart. In the 20 plus years, had they changed at all? In this passage we see that when it comes to the matter of the conscience, God can use three means to affect change. He can use barrenness. He can use brokenness. He can use bereavement. Perhaps God has in the past used these in your own life to draw you back to Himself. Perhaps you are experiencing one of those right now. Let God do His work in you and begin the transformation of the heart He desires.
