It wasn’t you???

In today’s Bible reading Joseph makes an interesting statement to his brothers.
Genesis 45:8 “It was not you…” Talking to his bros, the same fellas that wanted to kill him, the same guys that threw him in a pit, then sold him for a few bucks to Midianite traders. He says it wasn’t you, it was God...
Its crazy that when we are in the middle of the mess its way easy to blame those around us for all we are going through. It’s only once the battle is over and the fight is won that we recognize the hand of God in our life. Yet He’s there all the time… in the pit… in the prison… and in the palace. And you usually have to go through the pit and the prison to finally end up in the palace. The key is while in the pit, while in the prison, don’t linger, use the gifts God has given you and get out… He’s got a palace waiting on you.

Love ya
