Day 37 — “Conviction Begins”
📖 Genesis 42
Years after Joseph was sold into slavery, God brings his brothers face-to-face with their past. A famine drives them to Egypt, fear grips their hearts, and long-buried guilt finally rises to the surface.
Conviction isn’t punishment—it’s grace at work. God uses hunger, hardship, and holy discomfort to awaken consciences and begin the work of repentance. Before restoration comes reckoning. Before healing comes honesty.
Sometimes the mercy of God feels like pressure before it feels like peace.
💬 “In distress they turned back to the Lord—not yet in repentance, but in realization.”
✨ Big Truth: Grace often begins with conviction.
🙏 Reflection: What might God be trying to awaken in your heart today?
