As I continue studying the life of Joseph I ask God to show me something
new that I can hold onto. Something I have not seen before, something
that will make my waiting bearable. So as I was reading Genesis 41
today, this is what I saw:
Pharaoh at once sent for Joseph. They brought him on the run from the
jail cell. He cut his hair, put on clean clothes, and came to Pharaoh.
“I dreamed a dream,” Pharaoh told Joseph. “Nobody can interpret it. But
I’ve heard that just by hearing a dream you can interpret it.” Joseph
answered, “Not I, but God. God will set Pharaoh’s mind at ease.”
(Genesis 41:14-16 MSG)
In this passage, first when God is ready to bless you, it is quick. They
brought Joseph running to Pharaoh. I believe that when its your time,
it will happen suddenly, quick and in a hurry. Then something God showed
me that I never saw before. Pharaoh was not saved, God used a man that
didn't even believe in him to exalt a man that did. God can use your
boss or your great uncle Fred, he will use whoever he needs to to get
you to the place he has for you to go.
I believe that God prefers for us to wait well, but there may be times
in your life where you are tired of waiting, you are anxious, and ready
to be at the destination, but like Joseph, when its our time to be
exalted to that place of promotion, it doesn't matter how much you
complained, how much you fell down, all that matters is that God is
there to lift you back up, scrap off your knees and set you on the path
that was designed especially for you.
My prayer: Father, I know you have an awesome job, calling, future for
me. You tell me that a lot, but father, I have fallen down again. I
really just want to sit here because I don't have the strength to keep
going. My circumstances are far greater than me, but not for you. So
Father please help me back up. Please take a soothing cloth and clean
off my knees where I have fallen, and help me get back in the race.
Please wipe away the tears so I can see the track again. Please give me
the desire to keep on going. Even though I can't see the finish line, I
know that you have designed me to win. Thank you Lord for believing in
me, trusting me and loving me, in Jesus Name, Amen
