I’m so elated to recommend a song composed by a compatriot. This song definitely made my body sway at first listen. I love its tune and soothing effect. Indubitably, a song that made me reminisce about God’s constant immeasurable love.
It’s really easy to doubt God’s love and care for us when we’re faced with giants that seem undefeatable. We’ve all been there.
Most recently, I meditated on the story of Joseph in Gen 37 and found it hard to believe that God had to make Joseph go through the doldrums of being sold by his brothers and thrown into prison to make him governor of Egypt. I’d always thought that God took him through all that to bring him to his destiny (governing Egypt) but, No. I believe that what God did was, turn the destructive plans of the devil for the good of Joseph. The Bible says that Joseph’s brothers sold him to the Ishmaelites who passed by. However, God made the Ishmaelites to sell him to an Egyptian, Potiphar, who was an officer of Pharoah (the ruler of Egypt). Meaning that the devil’s plan was for Joseph to serve the Ishmaelites. God turned it.
Another scheme to cause the demise of Joseph’s greatness caused him to get behind bars. However, even in prison, God caused a servant of the king to dream and gave Joseph the wisdom to interpret it. You see how God’s love delivered him from every fowler’s snare (Read up the story in Gen 41 and 42).
Who can measure His unmerited love for us? Where can we hide from His presence?
Look For Good In The Seemingly Bad.
I know that this is hard to take in, but truly, there’ll always be a reason to be hopeful amid unpleasant circumstances. I love to imagine being in the shoes of characters in the bible. Uncle Joseph went through stuff, ei! Take a minute to imagine all that he went through even to being falsely accused of sexual assault. I’m sure he asked the “God, why?” question a number of times. However, amid the seemingly bad situations, there were evidences of God’s presence with him as we know that God blessed him and gave him unusual favor in the sight of his masters. So people, even when things do not seem quite in place, look for God’s faithfulness in those situations and you’ll receive hope for victory. If God spoke to you about that situation or gave you unusual strength or favour through people around you etc, that’s God being faithful to you.
Your Life Is God’s Investment
Joseph was made an overseer wherever he went. He was graced to acquire leadership experiences from Potiphar’s house to prison which came in handy when he was made the governor of Egypt. So don’t worry, God will not let His investment in your life go to waste. Know this, “you are His investment”
