Martin Dunkley explores Genesis 44, where Joseph hides a silver cup in Benjamin’s bag to test his brothers. Years earlier, they had sold Joseph for silver. Now, faced with a similar situation, would they abandon their younger brother – or protect him?

This time, they chose love. Judah even offered to take Benjamin’s place, showing how much they had changed.

The test wasn’t about guilt – it was about growth. God still allows tests today, not through silver cups, but through everyday choices: what we watch, how we speak and act, how we handle our money.

These moments reveal what’s really in our hearts. God’s tests aren’t meant to shame us; they’re meant to shape us. They give us a chance to grow in faith, love and obedience.

So, ask yourself today – what’s in your bag?
