When my life is not going quite the way I expected it to, I find myself thinking of Joseph. The grand vision that God had given him in his youth was a far cry from the years he spent falsely imprisoned in Egypt, betrayed by his own brothers. Yet, Joseph continued to trust and obey the Lord. He knew that God had a plan for his life and had not abandoned him. In God's perfect timing, he became the most powerful person in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh, and was instrumental in saving thousands from famine, including his own family who joined him in Egypt where they thrived and became a nation. God used the hard times to turn a cocky young man into the leader he needed to be. Has the dream that the Lord gave you been sidelined by the harsh realities of life? Don't lose hope. The Lord has a plan for you. Do you trust Him? Stop listening to everyone else but Him. Let the Holy Spirit lead you step by glorious step through His plan for your life.
