Every setback we encounter in our lives is a set up for the future and God is in the midst. When Joseph’s brothers became envious of him and sold him into slavery, scripture tells us that God was with him, and what was meant to hurt him, God turned it around for good. Praise the Lord!
Lord, give us the faith and patience to believe, that, you are the giver of all good things and that you make no mistakes; for your ways are perfect. Lord, you promised us that your blessings do not come with trouble, therefore, if we believe your word and that you have predestined good things for us, we should not become faithless or fearful because your plan cannot fail; we just need to allow you O God, to work your purpose out. What we see as trouble along the way is just a test of our faith, to see if we would really trust God to bring his plan to completion. We are reminded in Acts chapter 7 verses 9-10 that when Joseph’s brothers became envious and sold him into slavery that God was with him, and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, who made him governor over Egypt and all his house. Was Joseph’s trouble a curse or a blessing? Think about this as God begins to work his purpose out in your life. His plans are not always straight, but he already knows the beginning and the end. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding.
