This morning I want to speak to you about God’s providence in relation to Jacob and Joseph and you. The providence of God, according to the Shorter Catechism is God’s most holy and wise preserving and governing of all His creatures and all of their actions. I want you to understand that God, by means of His providence, will accomplish everything that He has purposed to do in relation to the building of Christ’s Church during this present evil age. But there is another truth which I would have you to grasp from this text as well. It is, that you would realize that since you are a part of His great plan to help in the building of Christ’s Church, that you would be filled with the sure and certain hope that the gospel will someday conquer in all the earth. I am aware of the fact that only God can bring this great thing about; that Christ’s kingdom would come and His will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. This is what we pray for in the Lord’s prayer. But I want to convince you of this great truth based upon what God did for the patriarchs in that day, and then apply it to what we hope that He will do for His Church in our own day and in future generations. In this message I want to specifically speak to you about what God did for Jacob, Joseph, and his brothers, and have that truth bring us hope in relation to the future of the Church. I am hoping that what God did in His providence for them will help you to see just how much you need to trust Him in His holy and wise governing of your life in all of its particulars.
