God will reward You in His time… Wait

image

In the book of Esther 2:21
Mordecai saved King Ahasuerus life, by reporting to Esther to inform the king that two of the King’s Enuchs were plotting to kill him.
But the king did not thank Mordecai for what He had done. The king did not reward Mordecai. But God saw what Mordecai had done. God saw that Mordecai had not be rewarded for been a good man. God saw and did not forget about Mordecai but it seemed like the King had forgotten. But as long as God has seen that is enough. You don’t need man to recognise you, even if they don’t recognise you, you should not worry. Because God Himself has seen you and will reward you for your good works. And when God rewards you , you will not forget. You will know that God has His eyes on you and His word does not return to Him void.

Man may not recognize you because they forgot , or sometimes it could even be intentional. But it doesn’t matter because God sees and knows.
Matthew 10:30 ; God knows how many hairs you have on your head.

But straight after Mordecai’s good works, somebody else had been rewarded; Haman. Haman was promoted and was given alot of authority.

We didnt see Mordecai been rewarded straightaway. And that makes me understand that sometimes, after you have done a good deed, or you have helped others or you have been there for others and have been selfless. Nobody recognizes you, its as if they did not see you do it at all. Its as if what you did was invisible to man. But just know that it wasnt invisible to God. And God will bless you for obeying His word and the good you are doing. Don’t be shocked if you don’t recieve the reward straightaway, don’t be aggregaited, don’t be furious. Just give thanks to God, you have not been forgotten. Because there will be a time where you will enjoy the fruits of your goodness.

Galatians 6:9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

You are not rewarded now because God has a set time for everything. You are not rewarded now, because God is planing How He can reward you greatly. You are not rewarded now because the time is not yet.
After you sit an exam, there is a period of waiting for the examiners to mark your work, and a period where they will tally your marks and release your results. The results of all your hard work, is not released on the same day in any major exams. But because you know you studied , you believe and expect to do well.
God reminded the King at the appointed time to bless Mordecai. In Esther 6:1,
The King could not sleep. What would make the king sleepless, after sleeping well many nights of not rewarding Mordecai. That day the King Recognized Mordecai. When God is ready to release your reward, it doesn’t matter what the situation is Your blessings will arrive.

The King may not have heared God say reward Mordecai now, but God orchestrated Mordecai’s blessings to be released at a time where a grave was been dug for Him.
God knew when the right time was to reward Mordecai. And God knows the set time to reward you.
And at the appointed time, Mordecai was rewarded. And Mordecai was rewarded greatly.

So be patient for God to reward you. Don’t rush to hear congratulations from man. Just Know that You have Abba Father who sees everything you do , and He will reward you in His time.

Anointed for your call

Anointed for your call

In the book of 1samuel 10, the Israelites asked God to give them a king over them. God is the only king and there is no king before Him or after Him. But the people insisted on the king to lead them in battle.

God agreed and chose a king for them. God spoke through the prophet Samuel and selected a king for them.

But before Saul was chosen as king , He couldn’t become king with His old heart.
He couldn’t lead God’s people with his own heart. He was anointed and chosen by God.

1 samuel 10: 6
At that time the spirit of the Lord will come powerfully upon you, and you will prophesy with them. You will be changed into a different person.

Its God that will change you into a new person and your old ways and the old people will be unfamiliar with it. Your past cannot carry this blessing. Your old thoughts cannot carry this new blessing. The spirit of God will change your mindset, your heart. The way you think, feel and see things. Because if you are your old self you will question every move, you will seek man’s opinion than Gods.
You need God’s spirit to do God’s work.

Zechariah 4:6
Then he said to me, “This is what the LORD says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
1 samuel 10: As Saul turned and started to leave, God gave Him a new heart, and all Samuel’s signs were fulfilled that day.
If God has spoken concerning your call, your purpose , be assured that It will surely come to pass. And He has given you what it takes to accomplish His plans. And thats why He has released the prophecy over you.
You didn’t choose yourself, He chose you. As long as you continue to walk in His will , your time will surely come.

Be assured that the prophecy spoken over your calling, your purpose will come to pass.

When Samuel prophesied to Saul, some of the prophecy was about instructions which Saul had to obey , in order for the word God has spoken over His life to come to pass.

1 samuel 10:7
And let it be that when these signs come to you, that you do as the occasion demands ; for God is with you.
Not everyone will be happy with the prophecy concerning your life. Not everyone will agree with the prophecy coming to pass. And not everyone will qualify you. But that’s ok because God is the author and finisher of your faith. The beginning and the end and He has qualified you.

Some people were not happy with Saul becoming King

Not everyone will recognise you and believe you have changed. Those who have seen your old ways will be unfamiliar with your change. People will question whether its really you.
You will be surrounded with those with the same vision. God will connect you with those who have also been transformed and walking with Him.

1 samuel 10:26
26 When Saul returned to his home at Gibeah, a group of men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

Glory be to God.

Hold on, the LORD will fight for you

Exodus 14:14
The Lord will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace’
Thats the word Moses gave the Israelites when they were fearful when Pharaoh sent His army to chase them.
What Moses said is so beautiful. The Israelites could see that the Egyptians were getting close and they feared. The closeness of the enemies didn’t mean that God has neglected the Israelites. The many issues you face doesn’t mean that God has neglected you.
God wanted to reveal His glory to the Israelites so they will learn to depend on Him and learn to trust Him. Its easy to open our mouth and say “I trust you Lord” . Just like Its easy to tell someone that you Love them.
But the word will have to turn into an action. The actions we take when there is a problem will tell whether we trust God.
The Israelites could have handed themselves over. But they didn’t. They could have given up when they saw the Egyptians coming after them , and said “no way ,they look to many and too strong” but they didnt.
They cried out to God. Because now they had to act out the word “trust”. They chose to follow Moses and obey the Lord as He commanded. They stuck to obeying what God has told Moses they should do. The word “trust” now became a doing word.
When times get tough do we give up? No we should’nt. God is waiting to reveal His glory through us when we stay calm. When the people against you look many and strong , don’t be decieved. When the situation you are facing looks like one you’ve never faced don’t give up.

Because the number or the strength of the opposition does not compare to the power of God. God is above all powers. He created the people who want to make your life difficult. He created every hair on their head and knows them inside out. Your situation is not a mystery to God. He knew it was coming, but He also knows that you are going to make it through. If you hold on to Him and Trust Him. He will reveal His glory and power through the situation.
It doesnt matter how close the issues are. The Egyptians were right behind the Israelites. It doesn’t how armored they are , pharaoh brought chariots with leaders. It doesn’t matter how many they are.
Deuteronomy 32:30
How could one person chase a thousand of them, and two people put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?

The Lord will fight for you and you shall forever hold your peace.
You would also think that after the Egyptians had seen God opened the sea for the Israelites to walk on dry ground across the sea, they Egyptians would give up on chasing them.
But no they didn’t, the Egyptians carried on, sometimes even after people have seen the mighty God that is behind you, they want to be persistent. So if the enemy is not giving up, what makes you think you should give up on walking with God, what makes you think you should give up when life gets tough? The more they are after you the more they will see the mighty hand of God. When you hold on to God, they themselves will come to the realization that they have to give up. When you hold on to God, you give those against you the opportunity to witness for themselves the power of almighty God who watches over you. Because God will fight for you and you will forever hold your peace.

Psalm 91:7

Psalm 91:7
Though a thousand fall at your side, though ten thousand are dying around you, these evils will not touch you.

Because you are covered by the blood of Jesus, nothing can touch you even when things are happening near you. A thousand shall fall on your side, ten thousand on your right hand but it shall not touch you.
God is so amazing. What happened in the Land of Egypt whiles Pharaoh was holding the Israelites captive showed God’s power.
God sent hail on the Egyptians and it destroyed their live stock. However this was the same Land the Israelites lived on and the hail did not come near them. The live stock of the Egyptians died and no harm touched Live stock of the Israelites. The Lord sent boils but it only came on the Egyptians and nothing came on the Israelites.
God is in control of the whole universe. It doesn’t matter the link between you and someone, even if its blood, even if its your neighbor. The blood of Jesus covers you and destroys every negative link.
God restrained the prestilence from coming near and touching the Egyptians.

So how much more covering you when things are happening around you.
A thousand may fall at your side.
People may be plotting right near you. Your own blood link may be plotting against you. Circumstances may be hardening right around you.
Ten thousand at your right hand.
But God said ” It will not touch you”

No matter how big the plot. No matter how close the people plotting are. No matter how close to your house the enemy is attacking. Even if its the things that belong to you thats getting attacked.

God said It will not touch you.
Whatever the enemy has planned cannot touch you. Its happening around you, but don’t allow it to scare you. Don’t allow it to frustrate you. Don’t allow it to depress you. Because God has said IT will NOT touch you. It may be happening right infront of you.
But God has given you inner peace to stand. Don’t allow it to break you down. The blood of Jesus destroys every negative link no matter how close it is.
The link in closeness may be blood. But it will not come near you. The link in closeness could be your home but it will not touch you.
The holy spirit that lives in you has power over every other spirit. Do don’t allow anything to suppress your spirit, your mind or your body. No matter how close the attack may be , God says ” It will not touch you.
So don’t give in when you see things falling right near you. Fix your eyes on Jesus.

Jesus …. Restorer of my soul

Jesus.. Restorer of my Soul

Psalm 23:2
He Restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness , For His name’s sake.
Restore means to : return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position.bring back or re-establish (a previous right, practice, or situation). Soul: our mind , our mentality and our hearts.
In Psalm 23:3 David talks about God restoring His soul and leading Him to a path of righteousness.

He is not talking about physical blessings here. He’s not talking  about restoring a old house He has lost or restoring His riches. He talks about Almighty God restoring His soul.
Restoration means: to return someone or something to its former condition.
If the Lord had to restore David’s soul then it meant at the time his soul was not in a good condition. His soul was not always pleasing God so He wanted God to restore His soul back to the place where his heart and mind is in tune with God. Notice that David didn’t say the Lord restored his soul , He says the Lord RESTORES his soul. Its a continuous process. Restoration is a process because it requires that the old be removed and be replaced gradually or daily with the new. David could not by make Himself righteous. By His own hand and His own ability He cannot restore His soul.
Restoration also refers to when someone has backslidden, when your mind and heart was on God but is shifting away little by little.
But David makes it very clear that God restores His soul.

Zachariah 4:6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.

David makes it clear that God brings His heart and mind and thoughts and feelings in obedience with Him, when He seeks God to do so. When He longs and desires for God to do so.
In Our own strength trying to restore our soul is not possible. We need to go before God and ask for His divine intervention. To tune us into His desires and His will. Its a process of feeding our minds and hearts with God’s word so we allow Him to occupy us. God restored David’s soul.
It means that His mind and heart now desires the things after God’s heart. He is thinking to please God,His state of mind is to obey God. His heart is not longing after the desires of the flesh or the things that will kill His soul.
After restoring David’s soul, God led David to walk in His righteousness.
So after God has restored our mind and our hearts to Him.Now we start to act and walk according to God’s will. Because David seeked God to restore His state of mind and The desires of His heart back to Him, He allowed God to lead Him to walking in obedience with Him.
Notice that David submitted to the Lord leading Him. Notice that David let the Lord lead Him. So after God has restored your mind, heart and thoughts back to Him, you have to let Him lead you. Righteousness cannot be achieved by your own strength or ability. God made us right with Him through His son Jesus Christ.
1 corinthians 1:30 God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.

Notice that you choose who to lead you. You can choose friends, by looking at their way of life. You can choose the world by following their way of life. But if you want to be walking in God’s will you have to follow God’s way of life. You cannot choose the world’s way of living and expect your soul to be restored and let God lead you.

God will lead us only when we submit under His authority. And to submit under God’s authority we must know what is pleasing to Him and what He hates. When we know what He hates we won’t allow anything or anyone to lead us.
Its important to pray for God to restore our minds daily and think about Him so He can lead us into the path of righteousness.
Glory be to God.

Hand Your Problems to God

Sometimes we may think all the difficulties around us means God has abandoned us. But God will never leave you or forsake you. But the difficulties will draw us nearer to God not away from God.
Its through the cry to God in weakness that you will find your strength in God. Its through the cry of been heart broken that you will experience the comfort and healing of God. Its through the cry from confusion that you will experience God’s peace. Problems are not meant to shift as away from God, but to draw us nearer to God.
Problems are reminders to let us know we don’t run the world but God does. They are to lead us to seek God’s face and experience His mighty hand as He gives us the breakthrough.

It doesn’t mean we have to go through problems before we glorify God. But our history of breakthrough is a result of God solving our problems.
The problems which you went through in the past gave you a an experience that God can heal, God delivers, God protects, God provides.
In the book of exodus 2:23
The bible says;
Now it happened in the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.
24: So God heared their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25: And God looked upon the children of Israel, and acknowledged them.

Your problems are not meant to create more problems. Your problems are not to lead you to smoke, or become stressed, or become depressed or destroy you.
Your problem should lead you to the problem solver not a problem maker.
Matthew 19:26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” When you are lost, do you head to google maps and ask for direction or do you just keep walking aimlessly. When you are sick do you not seek to be healed.
Your problems are to lead you to God, He alone can solve all problems. The bible says the children of Israel groaned because of their bondage, and they cried out and their cry came to GOD BECAUSE OF THEIR BONDAGE.
God hears our cry. God hears your cry for healing. God hears your cry for provision and God hears your cry for direction. Your problem should lead you to worship,and seek God.your problem is not a sign that God is not near you, its a proof that you need God. Its your cry for protection from God that will cause angels to encamp around you. “1 peter 5:7
Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.” A problem should trigger a solution. But a solution will not come until action is taken. Our solution Our solution is Jesus alone. But we must take action: pray and seek God’s face for God to resolve the problem.
What’s so amazing is that God does not want to solve your problems so you never come back again. He is not overwhelmed by how big the problems are or how many they are. He’s not overwhelmed, HE CARES ABOUT YOU. When you know someone cares about you, you will go to them with anything. God almighty cares, just lay it all out to Him, tell Him. Its between you and Him personally.

When you haven’t received the answers yet doesn’t mean you give up. Or it doesn’t mean God is not listening. ( Psalm 94:9 Does he who fashioned the ear not hear? Does he who formed the eye not see?) God knows best and even though you may think now is the right time for your answers, He knows your future ahead and will answer in the right time and there will be no delay. God is always on time. So don’t give up, continue seeking Him, continue praising Him and be patient.
Habakuk 2:3
This vision is for a future time. It describes the end, and it will be fulfilled.If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently,for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed.

Isaiah 40:31
But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

But what’s your intention for crying?
Do you just want God to solve problems when you have problems. Or you want Him when you don’t have problems to. Seek Him in the good times and bad , He cares ,He wants to hear your voice everyday.

Wait

If you only knew what God was preparing for you when you wait.

When God is about to release your blessing, His plans for your life, or take you to the next level, thats when the distractions come so you can be out of line. That’s when the feeling of impatience steps in so you don’t hold on and see your turnaround.

The bible says that when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered to make Gods. ( Exodus 32:1)

But little did they know at the time of their impatience was the time God had released His plans to Moses which will take them to a greater level of intimacy with God. What the Israelites were thinking and what God was planing were on completely different level. Just know that God will go beyond your expectation when you wait on Him.( isaiah 65:9
“As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.)

Should time be a factor of how long you stay on your walk with God? Should time be a factor of your commitment to God?

You’re waiting for the job, you’re waiting for the husband, you’re waiting for the child, you’re waiting for the car. You’re waiting for somebody. You’re waiting for money.

What about waiting on God? When we tune our focus on or wait on things, we become impatient.

But when we tune our focus on God and wait on God, we become productive in the time of waiting. Because we know that even if the blessing hasn’t arrived yet we are in His will and it will happen.
God’s word does not return to Him void. As it is written in Isaiah 55:11
so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.

But when we put our hearts and focus on the things we want , we loose focus! We have to learn to encourage ourselves to refocus ,even when we become unfocused.
The Israelites put their focus on Moses’s return. Not on God almighty. Not on God who they waited on and fed them manna, not on God who they waited on and save them from their enemies. Because they tuned their focus from God who never fails to the return of Moses. They put their focus on how long Moses was taking to come back.

Not knowing that even if Moses was to arrive or not, God’s promises will always come to pass.
Even if things haven’t been happening in the order you have expected them to happen, God’s promises will always come to pass.

God can release His blessings in the midst of any circumstance. It may not be when everything is nice and smooth in your life. It may be at the time of struggle, the times of difficulty, the times where you feel inpatient. But where will your focus be at that moment? Will it be on the current circumstance or your expectant blessing? Or will it be on the mighty God who will release the blessing.

Your current circumstance does not dictate your future. Because God can open a mind-blowing opportunity for you tomorrow. When you don’t take your eyes of Him.

Fearing God and obeying Him

Fearing God and obeying Him.
In the book of exodus chapter 1, the new king of egypt realised that the Israelites were multiplying and were more mightier than those of Egypt, He told the midwives to kill every first born son from the israelites.
But the midwives did not do as the king said because they feared God. They had the fear of God in them.The fear of God in them was greater than the fear of human.
Yes the king ruled over Egypt. But God rules over the world. And everything in existence is a result of God’s marvelous and mighty handy work.
In society nowadays people are afraid of loosing friends if they choose to obey God. People are afraid of been rejected if they choose worshiping God over listening to music which does not glorify God. People are afraid of loosing the physical things if they choose to walk with God and talk about God.
But God wants us to know that Matthew 10:33
But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.

How do we choose mere man over omnipotent God? When our very breath is controlled by God. When He loves us soo much He created us in His image? When He gave His only son Jesus to die for our sins?

God is all powerful and will protect you. God is omnipresent and will never leave you. God is our provider and you shall never lack.
God does not just want the best for us. But He will also reward us for our obedience and commitment to Him.
Yes sometimes it may seem like straight after you made a choice to walk with God, certain friends leave, you feel rejected and alone. But you are never alone. You are been built to depend on God. And you will be filled with peace which will not depend on how many friends you have or when someone walks out of your life.You will be directed atand can exercise your God given authority.

God loves us soo much. Before creating Adam,He made sure there was food,there was water, there was light, there was sun.He got everything ready so Adam would not have to wonder how to get things. Same with us, before He created us He already has a well laid plan out for us. That’s why He wants us to walk with Him and obey Him, so we are not destroyed, so we are not broken,so we are not lost, so we spend eternity with Him.
So God dealt well with the midwives when they obeyed God over the king of Egypt. The bible says In Exodus 1:21 and it was because, the midwives feared God,that He provided Households for them.
God will deal well with us when we obey Him. When we fear Him more than man. When we come to understand that because He has all power in His hand and has the best install for us. When we come to understand that the intention behind why We should obey Him is because He loves us and has great plans for us. He will not let us be put to shame.
They say nothing good comes easy in life. But God has already done the difficult part we could not do. All our sins Jesus carried to the cross and died for us, so we don’t carry that burden and suffer in Hell. And we have the holy spirit living in us to lead and guide us into all truth.We’ve been given authority in Jesus name to trample over all the power of the enemy and nothing shall by no means harm us.
Its always easy to walk on a broad road, where you can switch from one lane to the other. Where you get lost with the crowd. Where you follow a multitude of people and are lead by their own ways.

But the narrow path is concentrated. You cant switch from one lane to the other because of its narrowness . It seems to be a walk on your own. Because you are not following a crowd ,you are following only Jesus. Because you are working out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

Matthew 7:13
“You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way.

Obedience to God does not just reward us here on earth as the midwives were rewarded, but there is also a reward in heaven and spending eternity with our Father in heaven. Why should we suffer here on earth and continue to suffer after we die. When we have the choice to walk and be led by God here on earth and spend eternity with Him.

Glory be to God

God will go beyond what you expected

God will go beyond what you expected.

After Jacob was reunited with Joseph, He realised that God had even greater plans beyond  what he was expecting. He was expecting to only see Joseph, but God kept Him to see His grandchildren also. Jacob thaught He had lost His favourite son, but little did He know that God was blessing Him in the times when he was grieving in His heart
Genesis 48:11 And I Israel said to Joseph, “I had not thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring.

When Jacob found out from His children that Joseph had been killed by a wild beast , He was distressed.
When He heared Joseph was killed He said “Genesis 35: ” For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.”. Little did He know that God had a completely different plan. Jacob was grieving and thought He had lost His favourite son Joseph. God’s thoughts were far above what Jacob was thinking.

Isaiah 55:9 For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.
Jacob is a man and can only be at one place at a time. But God is not a man, He is omnipresent and could see everything going on.
But God will not allow it to happen like that. Sometimes when we think we’ve lost, God is making us loose something to gain double.
When Jacob found out later on that Joseph was alive and decided to meet him ,He didn’t only get to see Joseph, but also got to see His grandchildren. Genesis 48:11 And Israel said to Joseph, ” I had not thought to see your face; but infact , God has also shown me your offspring.

What God has planned for us is beyond what our mind can comprehend if we follow through with Him. What if After Jacob heard the sad news about Joseph, He gave up. He wouldn’t have been able to see Joseph and His grandchildren.
1 corinthians 2:9 That is what the Scriptures mean when they say, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” So no matter how things look, hold on to God. Don’t give up. It may not be going the way you dreamed of it to be, but God will exceed your dreams if you just hold on to Him. Its when the sea rages that you hold on to the anchor strongly, so the storm does not blow you off the boat. Its when life gets tough you hold on to God and let Him anchor you. Because you cannot do it with your own strength.
Ephesians 3:20
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

You don’t have the complete story of your life , but the author and finisher of your faith does.God almighty who creates a new day has, so HOLD on to Him. You can only see the view from where you are standing, but God can see the full picture.
Hold on to Him so your boat can be anchored through the storm to to a peaceful landing.
The storms will not last forever, He has power to calm down every storm and walk over every storm.

I can imagine how cheerful Jacob must have been when He saw Joseph and also His grandchildren. Just as He said “I had thought to see your face; but in fact, God has also shown me your offspring!” God has not neglected you, God will never neglect you. Its you that think because your prayers have not been answered He has. But he hasn’t. He has a time for everything. The fact that something bad has happened doesn’t mean He’s neglected you. He will make all things including good and bad work out for your good. All things will be beautiful in its time if you Just Hold on.
God loves you and wants you to hold on to Him and never let go no matter the storm.

God will give you an Expected end

In Genesis 45
Joseph makes it known to His brothers who He was, and does not blame them for selling him or trying to kill him.
After all that happened to him, everything started to make sense.
He understood the reason he had to to be a slave, a servant and a prisoner. And this was the reasont “God sent him before His family to preserve life”
Joseph did not know from the beginning the reason why he was sold as a slave. He did not understand why he had to be away from his family. He did not understand why oneday he was in his fathers house and the next day a servant in an unknown land.
At the beginning it seemed very obvious that his brothers were the reason to blame for all he went through.
But at the end everything made sense and this is the reason why he went through all he went through
Genesis 45:7
And God sent me before you to preserve a prosperity for you in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance

Sometimes certain situations you may find yourself in just don’t make sense at the beginning. You may be thinking but “I did not do anything to go through this struggle”. I prayed, I worshipped, I cried out but things just don’t add up.
But everything will make sense in the end. Every trial and every struggle will make sense in the end. You may not understand why you are going through that situation, but trust that God knows and has a much better plan ahead. That what you are going through will not be a waste of time. That God has a plan for your life. Don’t let people’s opinion make you give up. Your future is not based on people’s opinion over your life. Your future is based on almighty God’s opinion who is omniscient. Yes people will tell you someone went through exactly what you went through and didn’t make it, so you should give up. But don’t give up, God still has a plan. Nothing is impossible for God. Keep your eyes on God not on people.
Just like Joseph, you may not understand why life has been like that for you, you may not understand why it seems to be working all out for people around you but you, you may not understand why there hasn’t been answers to questions.
But it will all make sense in the end.

God has it all planned out. But you have to trust Him. Trust that because He knows the end from the beginning He’s got you.
Even though His brothers were envious of Joseph because of how his dreams looked. It wasn’t all about Joseph in the end, it wasn’t to make Joseph greater than all the people on the earth.God’s plan was to use Joseph to save the lifes of people. To preserve the prosperity on the earth. It all made sense to Joseph that there was nobody to blame. Not his brothers, not the things he went through, not God.
That everything He went through was for a reason. If you just hold on when life gets tough. If you just hold on to God, commit your ways to him. Without trying to figure everything out yourself but laying everything out at His feet , He will figure everything out for you. Hold on knowing that no matter what God’s got a plan. You will live to see the reason why you went through what you went through.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
