Psalm 105:12 

12 

He said this when they were few in number,
    a tiny group of strangers in Canaan.

13 

They wandered from nation to nation,
    from one kingdom to another.

14 

Yet he did not let anyone oppress them.
    He warned kings on their behalf:

15 

“Do not touch my chosen people,
    and do not hurt my prophets.”

16 

He called for a famine on the land of Canaan,
    cutting off its food supply.

17 

Then he sent someone to Egypt ahead of them—
    Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 

They bruised his feet with fetters
    and placed his neck in an iron collar.

19 

Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,[a]
    the Lord tested Joseph’s character.

20 

Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free;
    the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.

21 

Joseph was put in charge of all the king’s household;
    he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.

22 

He could instruct[b] the king’s aides as he pleased
    and teach the king’s advisers.

 

I love this Psalm because it gives us a quick synopsis of Josephs life… We see that truly all things work together for the good of those that Love God and are called according to his purpose. Now at any point up till Joe joe is set free it could be easy to doubt God, question God and even turn your back on God… but Joseph passed the test. Did you hear what I said?

verse 19 Until the time came to fulfill his dreams,
    the Lord tested Joseph’s character.

 

Once it was tested, he was freed, empowered, blessed and in authority over ALL THE PEOPLE… not just the jews, but also the egyptians.

 

So where you at? Maybe you see yourself lost in a life of ups and downs and ins and outs… but do you see yourself as one who is passing the tests? If not, life will only get more confusing and frustrating. but if you continue to serve God, seek him, know him  and make him known… soon the test will be over and you will move up the rank and position God has been training you for. 

What are you dealing with?

Don’t see it as a test, see it as a coming promotion

Don’t see it as a trial, see it as a coming blessing

Don’t see it as a burden, see it as empowerment too to come

UNDERSTAND THAT LIFE IS A TEST, AND IT IS ONE YOU ARE TO PASS AND MOVE ON FROM TO GREATER THINGS.
