It's not all as it seems.

Thinking about Joseph today.  
His brothers threw him in a pit~(dysfunctional family).  He was sold by the same to a slave caravan ~ (child abuse).  He was accused of sexual assault ~ (slander).  Thrown in jail ~ (convict) 

AND THEN


The adage goes ...You can't tell a book by its cover.   
Jesus says:   
Matt 6:34 "So don't ever worry about tomorrow. After all, tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of it's own"
Romans 8:28  "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose" 
Luke 1:37  "Nothing is impossible with God"


 Today life may seem bleak.  But remember it's only today... tomorrow is coming...
God's timing is perfect.  


Joseph's story gives much hope.  God's timing proved once again impeccable as Joseph was put over the land to save Gods people from starvation. 
Church, don't dispare! He has it ALL under control and is so blessed when we take HIM at His Word!


Blessings!
