In the book of Genesis 41 Pharaoh recognized that Joseph was a man that was filled with the spirit of God when he shared the wisdom that God had given him with Pharaoh. Joseph was a man that endured every trial and served God in every situation. He did not hold grudges nor seek revenge with those who did him wrong. Joseph allowed God to bring things together in the Lord’s timing without trying to step out and take matters into his own hands.
Unlike Joseph we might not get to speak with the king but everyday that we are given those who know us should be able to see God in us through our kind words, our merciful acts, and our wise advice. Whatever our situation, no matter how undesirable it may be we need to consider it part of our training program to serve God rather than allowing Satan to separate us from what we know in our hearts to be true.
When we begin to look for God in man rather than looking at what we see then the Lord will begin to shape us into who we were set out to be. I challenge you today to trust in God through every circumstance and allow your relatives, neighbors, and even co workers to see the spirit of God in you by the way you serve and the way you act…amen
