Romans 8:28
God works -
Some times when we go through trials we might say why God is silent?
why God is not doing anything in our lives. How long i should bear this problem.
How long i should go through this? this wait time is too much.
In all things
Story of Joseph:
Genesis 37:8 - God gave the dream, and
V8 - being hated by brothers - is it good - NO
but God allowed it. In a single thing it doesnt look good.
V10 - being rebuked Father doesn't look good always look good.
but God allowed it. It is not a pleasant experience.
my story - i remember my dad rebuking because every time i talk about God.
V28 - sold by his brothers to some foreigners
Can you imagine the agony of being away from the loved ones , not knowing when you will meet them again.
Its not a good thing.
Chapter 39:v20 : Wrongly Accused
Joseph was wrongly accused - and put in prison.
By this time if I were in that place, lot of self condemnation, lot of self introspection.
Every individual thing is not a pleasant experience.
I would have asked "Is the Lord sleeping , not working"
But see Chpater 39: v21 - The Lord was with him.
Chapter 40:23 - People Forogt, - Waiting Time
The man to whom Joseph helped, he forgot him.
Man might forget your help. But God doesn't forget.
Luke 13:From V10.
Woman is 18 years she was bound. Did God forget? No, in the right time, God is glorified through healing her on Sabbath and also exposed the hypocrisy of Pharisees.
Your waiting period is not wasted period.
God worked through a dream to Pharaoh,
When God wanted to do good to you, He can use anybody.
Here He used pharoah by causing him a dream.
for good
In all these things God used for good of Joseph and his family.
a) Joseph became Prime Minister.Genesis 41: 41-44.
b) During Famine, all family of Jacob got food and settled in Egypt ( Genesis 46:26)
my story - when all the while i was sharing about God in my growing up, now i see that many people got saved.
of those who love Him
Love Him -
Loving God is more than doing just a duty.
When you do a job, you just go there and want to finish off the 8 hrs and come back.
When you do for God its different. You Love Him and you do things.
Joseph is a man who loved God.
Genesis 39: 9
With Pothiphars wife , Joseph said one thing.
How Could I sin against God whom I love?
When you love God you hate sin. Psalm 96:10 ( Those who love the Lord hate sin)
How do you know if you are still in death or you have come to life.
1 John 3:14
Loving fellow brothers and sisters.
Joseph is a man eventhough his brothers hated him and sold him, Forgiveness is revealed in his life
Genesis 45: 7
Joseph said dont be afraid, God has sent me here to preserve for you a remnant.
Joseph knows in every trial of his situation that God is at work.
Romans 8:28 says We know.
the question is do we know? in our every situation that
God is at work?
God is at work for our good.
All we need to do in these things is just Love Him , by obeying His Word, by hating evil and loving the brethren.
God is the beautiful story writer if you love Him.
