Joseph's anointing by stella ashworth
I often think about how Joseph’s brothers tried to destroy God’s plan for his life by selling him into slavery. However, their actions only served to cause God’s plans to fall right into place.
People’s jealousy or actual attempts to stand in your way will never ever make a difference to what God has in store. In fact, those things can only delay God’s plan, but not deny them.
Although Joseph was called to leadership, he did not ascend to that great position overnight. He had various tests. God needed to be sure that he was going to be faithful in the little things before he was given more things to handle.
Joseph had a heart for God. He was humble and obedient. He was willing to follow God’s lead. He was willing to forgive. His suffering sharpened his faith. It forced him to watch for the glimpses of God showing up.
My dear friends in Christ, I do not know your battle or the giants that are trying to hold you down, but I am here to tell you, trust in the Lord with all your heart. He is with you in the pit, He is with you in prison, and He will lead you to the palace.
Just keep on serving and trusting God.
