My brothers and sisters in Christ, you may have been wronged, you may have been traded like Joseph, but know that things are not always as they seem. God is working His purpose out, God continues to work his purpose out in our lives, and where we find ourselves, we should sit quietly and wait patiently on the Lord. It may see like the actions of others have placed us in the position we are in, but I want to encourage you to say, “It was not you who sent me here, God did”.

Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary. O nations of the world, recognize the Lord; recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness, Let all the earth tremble before him. Psalm 96

“Who has ever given to God, that God should repay them?” For everything comes from him and exists by his power and is intended for his glory. All glory to him forever! Amen. Romans 11

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3

“Down in the valley with my Savior I will go, where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow; with His hand to lead me I will never, never fear, danger cannot frighten me if my Lord is near. Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus! Anywhere, everywhere, I will follow on! Follow! follow! I will follow Jesus! Everywhere He leads me I will follow on!” Oh Yes! He is my GPS – my God Positioning System.

“Will your anchor hold in the storms of life, when the clouds unfold their wings of strife? When the strong tides lift, and the cables strain, will your anchor drift, or firm remain?” This is a question that we should be able to ask ourselves and confidently say, ‘Yes’. Why? “We have an anchor that keeps the soul, steadfast and sure while the billows roll; fastened to the Rock which cannot move, grounded firm and deep in the Savior’s love!” Therefore, no matter how much the billows roll, stay anchored in God’s love.

But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well with you. Jeremiah 7:23

In my distress I called upon the Lord; I cried to my God for help. From His temple, He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears. Psalm 18:6

I cried out to Him with my mouth and praised Him with my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Psalm 66

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14
