Blessed like Joseph
Imagine being tossed and sold out by your family, and yet staying strong in your faith to God. staying humble, teachable, and trusting in all aspects towards. How hard would that be?
Joseph was sold, and was also very blessed. But God doesn’t bless just anyone, he blesses those who honors Him. And can you imagine what Joseph must have been feeling after he was sold? But yet he still chose to honor God and keep that attitude of faithfulness and trust that enabled him to gain God’s blessing.
Joseph was given this huge vision, and then he shared it with his family and shortly after he was stripped of everything he had and put into some of the worst of times in his life. But Joseph still remained in God and in the end everything turned out okay.
So when we apply this story into our lives – when we say we know this is where God wants us to be, but dont back down! When that vision/calling doesn’t pan out the way you want it to. Or that you’ve been given a unexpected struggle. Trust God that he will provide for you. Honor him and he will honor you! And then follow in Josephs footsteps and watch the blessings come.
