One of my very favorite verses in the Bible

This morning I was prepping one of my husband's stocking stuffers - it is a journal with Bible tabs for each book of the Bible with a small synopsis - author, date, setting and what the book is mostly about with a small chapter outline.  And in doing that I remembered this verse from Genesis that I absolutely LOVE.

Genesis chapter 50 verse 24-26 says this:

Then Joseph said to his brothers, "I am about to die.  But God will surely come to your aid and take you up out of this land to the land He promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob."  And Joseph made the Israelites swear an oath and said, "God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up from this place."

So Joseph died at the age of a hundred and ten.  And after they embalmed him, he was placed in a coffin in Egypt.

and THEN the fulfillment in Exodus 13:19 😍😍😍

Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath.  He had said, "God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place." 

THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD blows my mind.  

Can you even imagine this?  Joseph has been the favored child, the despised brother, sold, enslaved, accused but innocent, imprisoned, released, promoted to a position second only to pharaoh, reunited, forgiving, and at the end still trusting in God's promises to such an extent that he makes his brothers = the people of Israel, swear an oath to carry his bones out from Egypt when God rescues them (while currently living in Egypt as a form of God's rescue from starvation).  Can you even imagine?  Blows. My. Mind.

God is SO so good.  He is faithful.  His Word is truth.  It will happen and unfold JUST like He says it will when He desires it to.
