behold, I hare heard that there is com in Egypt. Get you down thither and buy for us, that we may live and not die. " Jacob had no idea that he was sending tot buy food of his beloved son Joseph, who had the alone disposal of it in Egypt ; and far was the thought from his sons, that he whom they had formerly despised, and sold as a slave, hoping never to see him again, was to be the instrument of preserving them alive. We often deprive ourselves of real blsSp- sings, by setting up our own wills... above the will of God ; and saying, " we will eat ou? own bread, and wear our own apparel, " and do our own wills ; but when calamity over- takes us, we, like Joseph's brethren^ are wU' ting to apply to him for bread, whom we formerly despised, and sold for a few trifling gratifications, comparable to twenty pieces of silver, to prevent his reigning over us. But how wonderfully does God accomplish his own purposes ! He often makes use of us, poor short-sighted mortals, to bring them to pass for our good ; when, at the same time we are opposing them with all our might, to suit our own evil inclinations, though against our interest.
