Read Genesis 39:20-23.
Joseph exemplifies five principles for us to remember when nothing seems to make sense.
Don’t demand to understand:
We can come to a time of perplexity, having done nothing wrong. In fact, many of God’s greatest saints walked in darkness for parts of their lives.
Don’t fail to be faithful:
Joseph did not sulk in prison. Even there, in a time of persecution, Joseph served God.
Don’t bow to bitterness:
There was not a shred of bitterness in Joseph, because He knew God was with him. In hard times, we need to be very careful not to become bitter.
Joseph did not sulk in prison. Even there, in a time of persecution, Joseph served God.
Don’t be unwilling to wait:
God is never late; He will bring us out in His time.
Don’t let dreams dissolve:
Joseph never forgot his God-given dream from his youth. God never forgot it, either; it came to fruition in perfect timing.
Don't let your dreams dissolve in the darkness:
God did not fail Joseph and He will not fail us.
Personal Worship Option:
Are you in a season when nothing seems to make sense?
Serve Jesus and never quit. Give Him your heart… your life. And don’t ever lose your dream.
