Joseph

For the past several days I have been reading and rereading Joseph's life in Genesis. The thing that stuck out to me more than anything was how long Joseph was in prison. Over and over it says some time later.... then two years later. Joseph must have been in prison for many years and yet he still trusted God to take care of him, and God did. I wish I could say that there is where the lesson ends, however this week has made me feel as though I were in prison for years. It started out simple enough, with a sink that wouldn't drain but after two days of being unable to yield any tangible results we called a sewer company to come take a look. I ended up calling the sewer company, the police and my insurance agent because we found out that our clogged pipe was the result of some neighborhood kids pouring rock into the sewer pipes on my roof. I can't begin to say the battle that raged in our hearts when realizing what had happened. But the fact of the matter is that this was just Satan trying desperately to distract us. The bible says in Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (New International Version)
So, in the midst of our trials, we choose to praise the Lord. Daddy God will not let us fall. I know he has a plan and he will turn these trials into a testimony. Thank you God for taking care of us, You are so good. Until next time, God bless.
