Have you been in a situation when you were seemingly defeated by time, circumstances or people like Abraham, Moses and Joseph ?
Have you been in a situation when GOD seemingly answered the prayers of the person who caused you great harm ? And you were seemingly dishonored as a result of this ?
Very often life is seemingly disappointing like Jacob's. All things were seemingly working against him. And like Joseph's who encountered an unending string of seemingly disappointing situations.
For both of them like many of us these series of seeming disappointments are in reality GOD fulfilling HIS countless, sands on the shore outnumbering, infinite like the stars in the sky thoughts and plans towards us. And HE gift wraps these and then surprises us with unexpected answers through unexpected resources at an unexpected time.
Ps Atul Haksar once said in a moment GOD promoted Joseph from a prisoner to a Prime Minister. And in fact all things were working together for the good of Joseph, Jacob, their family and the entire nation of Israel. What the devil was doing to cause destruction JESUS was using for their good and HIS glory.
Just want to encourage you to do what I am doing even as I go through my seemingly disapppointing days. Through the last 6 months all I've done is 'Being Still and getting to know HIM - as GOD'
