“And Israel said unto Joseph, I had not thought to see thy face: and, lo, God hath shewed me also thy seed.”
Israel said to Joseph: I never expected to see your face again, and now God has allowed me to see your children too. The declaration of exceeded expectation — I never expected to see you, and now God has shown me your children — is the testimony of a man who has lived long enough to receive more than he dared hope. The application: the grace that exceeds the most modest expectation is the grace that produces the most genuine gratitude.
