Today’s exhortation – we win! we win! we win
Supposing you were watching a game that has already been played and knew that your team won, would you worry or be anxious if they’re losing for most of the game? No! Because you know how it ends. Similarly, God has seen how it ends with us and we win! He says all things work together for our good. He’s planned it all for us. He says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I set you apart for my holy purpose.” (Jeremiah 1:5). “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” (Jeremiah 29:11).
I believe God doesn’t make up His mind about us while we go along in life or react to the circumstances in our lives as if He’s taken by surprise, He has plans for us just as He did for Joseph and knows what happens and how it ends. However, as we see in Joseph’s life, there’s often a delay before seeing God work through us and that’s because God doesn’t microwave, He marinates! Our breakthrough may be taking a while, because He’s doing something far deeper in us than meets the eye so don’t give up! Like Joseph, Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly. (Job 8:7) In Jesus Name! Amen!
