Re: What was Lafayette fighting for?

Now Tell all of the story.

Since, God knows all things. God knew that Joseph's brothers were going to sell Joseph as a slave before that deed was ever committed.

In fact the brothers were going to kill Joseph at first and tell Josephs father that a beast had killed him. Do you think that God had anything to do with changing the brothers minds when they just happen to notice the Caravan going to Egypt passing bad? Do you think God had anything to do with that Caravan just happening to be there at that particular time? Or was it all just chance? If you say it wasn't just chance, then you have to say that God allowed that to happen did not he?

God used Joseph, IN BONDAGE, in Egypt to accomplish his purpose and help his family in their time of need during the 7 years famine. What do you suppose would have been the results had Joseph fought back? Would the brothers most like have killed him?

Not if it wasn't in Gods will. But, would Joseph have been in Gods will to complete God's plan for the Jewish people? Or would Joseph have been in rebellion against God's purpose?

Yes, the Jews were in Bondage for 400 years in Egypt. But the Jews didn't fight a war to gain their freedom from Egypt either. God freed the Jews in his own time, without the help of any army, and showed His power in doing so. And because of their disbelief he made them wander in a Wilderness for 40 years on a journey that shouldn't have taken them more than 18 months.

Who knows Gods will? But, the Bible says "All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord." That includes what we think are bad things, along with the good. It is usually the bad things that happen in our lives, which humble us, making us depend upon God more, forms our charactor, making us better servants to God.
