Genesis 37:3-4
"Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him."
"Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colours. And when his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, and could not speak peaceably unto him."
We are made in the image of God. God's DNA is on the inside of us. I'd like to use the story of Joseph to illustrate this. We are given gifts (his coat of many colors symbolic of his multi-talents and gifts and the favoritism toward him from his Father). Then, we are tested beyond what we think we can endure and rejected and betrayed by people we love. Yet, we forge ahead doing the best we can with the situations in which we find ourselves.
This week I have experienced multiple challenges getting this Blog to post. At this moment I am using the hotel computer (during COVID) which is like getting into Fort Knox. I can only be on so long, and then it shuts me off. I can't post images. But, I am forging on. If this is my Pit so be it.
Wherever you find yourself today, keep going. Don't quit. Character is being developed at a deeper level. If you are like me, and have a spirit of excellence I know how frustrating this can be. You want excellence. You want to fulfill the expectations you put on yourself. I get it.
Joseph went through much before his dream became a reality. When his dream did come into the seen realm, it was just as he had dreamed.
Join me all week, as I share with you what I am learning from the life of Joseph. I will soon be back to my normal, and we will both look forward to this timely Blog with images, delivered on time.
