"Remove Me"
Sometimes I ask God, my rock-solid God, “Why did you let me down? Why am I walking around in tears, harassed by enemies?”
Psalm 42:9-10 MSG
SOMEBODY right now:
You know exactly how that feels...Because currently you don't understand how you can be harrassed by enemies and God just be silent. How you can be walking around with tears in your eyes and still nothing.
If God is compassionate...
Where is His compassion now you ask?
Yet the bible says:
The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.
Psalms 145:9 NIV
Just imagine, if God were to speak audibly to you (which is highly unlikely) in this season...The world would consider that cheating.
And cheaters when they're caught get removed from test.
You don't want that!
👉 It's the testing of the Lord that sets you up for a possible promotion from the Lord.
👉 Think With Me:
The bible says: Until the time came to fulfill his dreams, the Lord TESTED Joseph’s character.
Psalms 105:19 NLT
So, That means the pit (being thrown in at the hands of his brothers) was a character test. Gen 37
Being sold into slavery & forced away from home at a young age was all a character test. Gen 37
And so was being sent to prison for something he didn't do. It was a character test. Gen 39
Each test taught Joseph:
• Hurt heals.
• Forgiveness is necessary for your own mental freedom, necessary for your own peace of mind.
• When you're a dreamer, you might not recognize your promotion at 1st.
👉 Being in Egypt didn't look or feel like a promotion for a long time after so much had happened.
👉 Jealousy/envy are real even in those that are suppose to be family.
THE ONLY person he really had to depend on was THE LORD.
👉 The Lord kept making things work out in Joseph's favor, despite his unfavorable surroundings.
👉 Til finally, His dream. Joseph became Governor of Egypt.
Gen 41
So, What am I saying?
I'm saying, Hold on thru the test, learn from it, pass it, and get your promotion. You don't really want to be removed from the test...You just think you do, because you're a little weary right now.
Until Next Sunday.
