Divine Solace in life’s Crucibles:🔥Joseph, Promotion Orchestrated by God

Psalm 37:4-5

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. 5Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

JOSEPH NEVER NUDGED HIMSELF INTO POSITIONS NOR USED OTHERS TO DO SO, HE WAITED ON GOD. MANY PEOPLE GET INTO POSITIONS NOT ON MERIT BUT BECAUSE OF FRIENDS OR RELATIVES. THE INDUSTRIOUS JOSEPH WAS EXTRUDED INTO A HIGH POSITION BY GOD. HIS HARD WORK IN UNFAVORABLE CONDITIONS WAS REMEMBERED BY GOD. LET GOD ORCHESTRATE YOUR REMEMBRANCE AND PROMOTION‼️

Colossians 3:22-24

Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God: 23And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; 24Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

THE BEST LEADERS ARE MANUFACTURED IN LIFE’S MERCILESS CRUCIBLES 🥵

Men of power are those who have been opposed, baffled, and thwarted. By calling their energies into action, the obstacles they meet prove to them positive blessings. They gain self-reliance. Conflict and perplexity call for the exercise of trust in God and for that firmness which develops power. – {Ministry of Healing p. 500.3}

Psalm 105:17-22

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant: 18Whose feet they hurt with fetters:

Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭‬

“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.”‬

Psalm 113:5-8

Who is like unto the LORD our God, who dwelleth on high, 6Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth! 7He raiseth up the poor out of the dust, and lifteth the needy out of the dunghill; 8That he may set him with princes, even with the princes of his people.

Psalm 75:6-7

For promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. 7But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.

Let those who feel that their work is not appreciated, and who crave a position of greater responsibility, consider that “promotion cometh neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south. But God is the Judge: He putteth down one, and setteth up another.” Psalm 75:6, 7. Every man has his place in the eternal plan of heaven. Whether we fill that place depends upon our own faithfulness in co-operating with God. – {Ministry of Healing p. 476.1}

Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭11‬-‭13‬ ‭NIV‬

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”
