Genesis 45:7-8

1. Realizing that the God of power is always working behind the scenes to bring about His purposes.

• He responds
• He orchestrates
• He anticipates
• He instigates

Psalm 105:15-22 (NLT); Esther 3:1-3; 6:1-12; Acts 28:11-17a (NLT)

2. Realizing that the power of God is, by its very nature, a shared, creative, and redemptive ability.

• Dreamers
• Interpreters
• Implementers

(This is divinely arranged to avoid projection, rejection, and elevation).

• Serve the purpose of God
• Save the people of God
