“God’s Preparation Process”
BIBLE
READING: Genesis
40-42
This morning I came across one of
those quick motivational posts that really has stuck with me. It read “Don’t worry! God is preparing you
for what he has prepared for you”. That
post sums up the life of Joseph doesn’t it?
Hated by your brothers, sold into slavery, wrongfully accused and
imprisoned, forgotten by those you depended on; these events describe the last
fifteen years or so of Joseph’s life.
However, his entire tumultuous journey was all endured for the purpose
of God accomplishing His will. How else
was a Hebrew slave turned prisoner ever going to be able to have an audience
with the Pharaoh? Life can deliver us
some pretty difficult and even unfair blows, but all the while we must never
overlook the fact that God is still in control.
In Joseph’s situation, we see that even though it seems his life is
headed into the pit of despair, God is only preparing him to be a tremendous
world leader. If Joseph had not been in prison, he would have never met the
butler and the baker. Yet because of
where he was at the time of their dreams, Pharaoh was able to get his dreams
interpreted. By being at the right place
at the right time, God was able to use Joseph to save, not only the Egyptian
nation, but also preserve the continuation of the Promise. So yes… Don’t worry! God is preparing you for what he has prepared
for you.
