"God's way may be harder for you, but it will be easier on you." H. Hanson
Salam! Shalom!
Have peace of heart and mind.
We may have many trials and sorrows here on earth but cheer up for He has overcome the world!
In trusting and in confidence will be our strength. Sometimes we forget to walk by faith and not by sight or we find it hard to keep still and to simply know that He is God.
It always helps me to remember Joseph and his brothers. How he must have felt in the pit, probably hurt, soiled and very thirsty but it was the time to look up and wait on God to save Him!
Then he was sold by his brothers to the Egyptian Caravan! He must have yelled his lungs out pleading and sobbing that they would stop!
Judah heard and never forgave himself. The cries of his young brother tormented him for years waking him up in the night. If only he could make things right. But it seems he went from bad to worse marrying outside his people; later his sons were not brought up in the Covenant fear of God and turned to be evil men. But finally he had his chance when he married Tamar and did justice to her! Maybe he finally made his peace with God then and was able to return to his Father's household.
Many years later Joseph was reunited with his brothers and told them that all that they had meant for harm God had meant for good to save his whole family and to save many Nations!
I love this about our God! He has overcome our limitations! He can turn what was meant for evil into good! How amazing! I cannot help trusting Him!
Do rejoice with me, in His love and perfect plans for us!
