Reason for thanks

It seems his was a tale of can my dream ever come true. He was a favoured child, though his mum was late, his dad ensured he did not lack love and care. He will make for him a coat of many colours, to distinguish him from his siblings.

Joseph was the guy with the bigger than life dream. He was a star in the making, but his huge dream angered his brothers, who thought he was unnecessarily favoured above them. Their hatred for him will make them sell him off to foreigners.

Let's see what becomes of his dreams... however, they forgot that his dream was given by God. Their hatred was the push he needed to JumpStart his fulfilment. Enemies were used to unsettle his nest. All his down turn were in his divine plan for actualisation.

God's way can be so mysterious, His way can be so imposing. Joseph will in time realise that even his terrible experiences were in the bigger picture.

Have you thought to wonder what if your delay was as planned by God. That challenge may be the springboard that will elevate you. If you are God's own, whatever the enemy plans to bring you down are only ladders to your enviable heights.

You have to trust in the one who loves you. Your down times are part of the plan. Don't stop trusting, like Joseph don't give in to the temptation or enticements to cut corners. Don't sell out when your breakthrough is just round the corner.

Hold on, soon you will look back and thank God for that boss, neighbour, relation or friend that betrayed you.
