- God has a plan for your life: Jerimiah 29:11
When we commit to God, he predesintes us. God doesnt play favourites - He chooses us because He needs the job done - and He knows that we are adequate to complete the task at hand.
- Even though God's ultimate plan is a good plan - He deepens our character by giving us bumps in the road. He is always at work in us.
- Sometimes you can't feel the hope because you have been hoping and praying for so long.
- Joseph made a decision totrust God - No matter what. Whethere he saw God's plan or no. It nurtured hope in the deep disappointments
- Joseph refused to give up. " God was with Joseph" Genesis 39:2 - he was faithful and obedient with what God gave him.
- God has chosen you (me) to play a unique role. Do you quit when you are hurt or dissappointed? - Quitting chisels away at your character slowly but surely.
- I want to be like Joseph. God is working behind the scenes foraging your character.
- Joseph refused to give into temptation
- When your life does not turn out the way you planned - sin will start to look really good.
1 Timothy 6:11 "Flee from immorality"
- within hours - he came from the pits into power.
- Joseph refused to care less for others, when we reach out to others we are opening networks & channels to deepen others and our own lives.
- Joesph refused to seek revenge. He realised that God takes our choices and makes them into good. God sees the whole picture.
-Surrender and God will paint the picture of our lives. He is soveriegn and in charge.
We have a choice to make
1. To be bitter and angry (which accomplishes nothing)
2. Or to believe in God's plan. Long for the Lord because as long as we are with him it is going to be ok.
If God knows my plan -- shouldn't that be good enough for me?
