May you be blessed always. Amen
Betrayal 😔 💔
As Joseph entered Egypt, he must have felt his spirit collapse because all hope seemed to be gone……He had been rudely and violently severed from all that he knew and loved—💔
Betrayed by his family, lost his home, his safety, his basic needs, his friendships, his future—apparently forever.
In his spirit, he must have heard the door of all he had known slamming shut. 🚪
Joseph faced a critical, life-defining choice……Would he walk away from the God he had known in his father’s household? Or would he trust and be faithful to God despite his very painful, brutal, and unjust circumstances?
*** Faithfulness is not a passive word…..It requires action. ***
For instance, we can say that we will be faithful to exercise but then sit on the couch every day.
Being faithful to love, serve, and honor God when you are in physical, emotional, struggle/battle, staying “humble” and not try to take matters into your own hands Joseph shows us throughout his story.
*** He chose to be faithful to the God regardless of circumstances…..And God was faithful to Joseph in every moment and in every situation. ***
Where does God have you right now?
Is it the last place you thought you’d be?
If you’ve been living in bitterness and anger 😠 because your life has turned upside down, your circumstances are unbearable, or your position is humiliating and lowly, it’s not too late to change course!
Like Joseph you can prosper right where you are….You can start doing all your work to the best of your ability as unto the Lord…..like Joseph those around us can fail us but God never will.
Joseph showed a humble and faithful attitude by giving God the credit, serving others, being falsely accused, forgotten, choosing mercy over revenge.
Joseph’s story teaches us forgiveness ❤️🩹 …God restores, heals, rebuilds that which is broken.
Genesis 50:20-“But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good……”
