Episode Title
From Betrayal to Blessing
Today’s Reading
Today’s reading is Genesis 44–47.
Key Verse (Verse of the Day)
Genesis 45:4 — “Then Joseph said to his brothers, ‘Please come closer to me.’ And they came closer. And he said, ‘I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.’”
What This Episode Is About
The story of Joseph reaches its emotional and theological climax. Judah’s plea reveals genuine repentance, Joseph reveals his identity, and the brothers finally see how God has been at work all along. What looked like cruelty and betrayal becomes the very means God used to preserve His people and advance His covenant purposes.
This episode reminds us that God’s plan is never derailed by human sin. Even when obedience is absent and motives are broken, the Lord remains sovereign, faithful, and purposeful. Betrayal does not have the final word. God does.
