As the story goes, Joseph would eventually be placed in a position where he was able to use his God given talents, interpreting dreams, in a way to bring God glory and gain the trust of the king of Egypt. As a reward for his faithfulness to the Lord, he was placed in charge of the entire kingdom and second only to the king.
If you are like me, there has been no shortage of challenges in my life. I’ve not always responded the way that I suspect Joseph would, with grace and complete trust in God. Most of the time my poor decision making has left me with undesirable results and usually a bit of a mess to clean up. However, the few times that I have responded as I think Joseph would have, being patient and faithfully relying on God, the outcome has always exceeded my expectations. It is a very humbling experience when that happens, but one that strengthens my own faith in knowing that God does truly love me.
