God Preserves a Remnant (Lesson Text: Genesis 45:3-15) Joseph demonstrates true forgiveness in this lesson while allowing God's providence to unfold in his life. Joseph acknowledges that God is always in control even when others have no knowledge of His divine plan. Remember, faithfulness brings us favor. Thought to remember: God will always preserve His people. Lesson Learned: Like Joseph, I must exercise forgiveness even when I cannot grasp the divine purpose for my current situation, but His Word reminds me that God has a divine plan for my life. Therefore, I must continue to trust because afterward, I will become like pure gold when He finishes. My Prayer: Dearest Heavenly Father, You are a gracious and forgiving God, full of mercy and compassion. So we thank You for the good times in our lives. Help us to forgive our brothers and sisters. Allow us to render assistance in time of need like Joseph did for his family. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen!
