From: Christian Truth: Volume 9

Narrator: Chris Genthree

Genesis 42:36

Listen to This Article

What a mistake Jacob made when he said, "All these things are against me," when in fact they were, every one of them, for him (Gen. 42:36³⁶And Jacob their father said unto them, Me have ye bereaved of my children: Joseph is not, and Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away: all these things are against me. (Genesis 42:36)).

How different that beautiful utterance of faith in Rom. 8:28²⁸And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28), "We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose." Beware of Jacob's mistake.
