Will you be like Joseph?


So Joseph said to his brothers, "Come near to me, please." And they came near. And he said, "I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. And now do not be distressed or angry with yourselves because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life. (Genesis 45:4-5 ESV)

Can you look past the present and know that God has a plan for you that may not make sense right now? Have you ever looked to the sky and asked "why God? "

Joseph surely was tested by everything that happened to him to do exactly that, yet he never did. He did not hold a grudge against his brothers, but instead had faith that God would take care of him. God did more than that. He blessed Joseph with a leadership role in order to help his family when they were in need.

Have you been placed in a leadership role? Why do you think that is? Maybe God is preparing your heart for something much bigger. Will you be ready? If you have faith, you are.
