Genesis 45:4-5 I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; ..

... for God sent me before you to preserve life.

What the brothers had intended for evil, God had used for good. In one of the most amazing moments in all of Scripture, Joseph---the one who had been harmfully misused—embraced that whole overarching idea. Can we possibly see God at work when we are abused in some way, probably a lot less traumatic than being sold off into slavery by our own family??!
