Ups and downs with God!

Good morning everyone! Yes, a great day to be alive in the LORD Jesus. God is good all the time, all the time, God is good!! Psalm 34:1 tells us to praise God at all times, to boast of Him. Did you do that this past week, the weekend, or sometime?

In Genesis starting around the 36th chapter on into the 40's you will read about Joseph. His brothers hated him, sold him, bought as a slave in Egypt. There he has his ups and downs, his downs were prison, but his ups were really good. Being the captains servant, entrusted much, thrown into prison, then interpret a dream for pharaoh and then being put in charge of the goods to help go through a desperate time.

What did Joseph do? He kept his faith in the LORD! In good times and in bad he kept his faith in the LORD! Now when the cupbearer for pharaoh went to prison, had a dream, Joseph interpreted the dream and asked the cupbearer to remember him. The cupbearer forgot until pharaoh had a dream......two years later! Wow! God answers prayers and we want the answer NOW!

Joseph did this: 1) kept the faith; 2) waited patiently on God; and 3) was lifted out of "prison" and taken care of. Are you able to do this? Keep the faith, wait patiently, and let God take you out of your "prison?" Thank you for reading today. Love you all! Keep the faith, be patient, let go-let God.


In Christ's Love and Grace
