Psalm 105:17-22
He sent a man before them- Joseph- who was sold as a slave. They hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons. Until the time that his word came to pass, The word of the Lord tested him. The king sent and released him, The ruler of the people let him go free. He made him lord of his house, And ruler of all his possessions, To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his elders wisdom.
Joseph went through alot of injustice and fiery trial and difficulties.... Bible says that "they hurt his feet with fetters, he was laid in irons...." as we continue to pursue the one we love... Jesus... He wld allow us to go thru trials for our faith to be more genuine.... yet in these trials He promised to never leave us nor forsake us....
Hebrew 13:5
Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
Trials is a no joke matter... sometimes so pain and confusing that it grieves the life out of us.... makes us cry out to God and depend on Him more.... I juz wan to encourage anyone who is reading this blog that God understands and He knows the trial you are going thru.... He wants to assure you of His love and His mercy and grace towards you even right now.... Bibles says that
Hebrews 4:15-16
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
The word sympathize is the word to "understand"..... God understands your pain.... and grieve...
1Peter 1:6-9
In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ, whom having not seen you love. Though now you do not see Him, yet believing, you rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory, receiving the end of your faith- the salvation of your souls.
I want to encourage you by saying that GOd understands the pain and He may not set it up but He allows it.... and after the trial... juz like Joseph.... you will be closer to Him and there will be an elevation and lifting up by God..... Joseph was being lifted up to a position of prime minister by God himself... God always love to pay back double for all your trouble....Joseph was elevated by God and not by men.... He did not fight for power nor was greedy... but stayed humble all the way and God elevated Joseph... so I wan to encourage you to keep staying humble before God and wait on Him... He will at the right time deliver you and lift you up:)
1Peter 5:6
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Your due time is coming:) God is able... Like joseph... to bring you out of the pit... out of the miry clay and establish your steps... lets stay close and humble before God...
