Let us muse today from Psalm 105:17-19 and the great wound of which Joseph received at the hand of his brothers. Who was behind such a wound<\/em>? In verse 17 we have the phrase ‘he sent a man’<\/em>. The phrase speaks of God ordaining the going of Joseph down into Egypt by way of a wound by his brothers. In verse 18 we have the word ‘hurt<\/em>‘ which is our word for an inflicting pain. In verse 18 the phrase ‘laid in iron<\/em>‘ is a hurt that reaches to the depths of our soul and spirit.

There is healing in the Word for a wounded spirit. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
