Genesis 45:7 But
God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save
your lives by a great deliverance.
Genesis 45:8 So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God. He made me father to Pharaoh, lord of his entire household and ruler of all Egypt.

John 1:1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 8:58 "Very truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"
Hebrews 1:3 The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

Calamities can leave us off balance and
confused. Consider the crisis of Joseph’s generation as recorded in
Genesis 47:13. “Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very
severe, so that the land of Canaan languished because of the
famine.” Joseph faced a calamity on a global scale. Joseph told his
brothers, “God sent me before you to preserve life. For these two years
the famine has been in the land, and there are still five years in which there
will be neither plowing nor harvesting. And God sent me before you” (Genesis
45:5-7). Joseph began and ended his crisis with God. God preceded the
famine. God would outlive the famine.
How would you describe your crisis? Do you recite your
woes more naturally than you do heaven’s strength? You are assuming God isn’t
in the crisis. He is. Even a famine was fair game for God’s purpose!
