As we see the life of Joseph in the Bible, God gave Joseph a vision which displeased his brothers and have abandoned Joseph by throwing him into a deep pit which is far from the land of Canaan.
This was the first stage of Joseph, where his own family has abandoned him. But Joseph never got vexed nor irritated in such situations, but His only focus was the dream (visions he received) and trusting God who gave him such visions and eventually became slave under Potiphar.
Now most of the people might think that there is no relation between the dream and the situation of Joseph, now here comes the test in your life, Whatever the situation you are in right now, The question arises in front of you, Are you still holding on to the promise of God? And trusting Him or are you choosing(considering) a different path?
Still being a slave, Joseph was obedient to Potiphar (one of the Pharaoh's official; the captain of the guard) which is one of the best quality to have for a believer. Obedience always qualifies you to go to next level and It states that you are still trusting the Lord, which has happened in the life of Joseph, by being obedient to Potiphar. Potiphar surrenders the entire authority of his household to Joseph which was a promotion for Joseph and Potiphar's house was blessed by the Lord because of Joseph and it pleased Potiphar.
Being obedient and trusting the Lord brought a major difference in Joseph's life, that's what God is trying to explaining us through his Word. Any situation arises in front of you do not get vexed but trust in HIM (The one who gave you the promises-GOD). But meditate more on the promise and it will give you the confidence and faith that your situation is not to harm you but manifest the promise of God in your life.
When Joseph was promoted to next level, Potiphar's wife put wrong allegations against Joseph, believing which Potiphar’s was startled with anger and put Joseph in the prison where the King's prisoners we're confined. Joseph endured and yet excelled in the prison because the Lord was with Joseph and later he promoted to be the prison warden taking charge of all the prisoners.
This describes that- ‘wherever you are or in whatever the situation you are, you shall excel when you keep trusting HIM(JESUS) and believing that HE is with you always in every situation’. We see their will be many who try degrade us by putting false allegations and being jealous against us, even if they try to shut you down, they should first shut the Lord God Almighty who is with you which is impossible. GOD will always shift you to the higher position.
Because God is not interested to put you down, His thoughts are always higher than your thoughts. People get diverted when something bad has happened in their life and they won't look to the Lord in that bad situation and they try to solve it through some worldly wisdom, but do you know that situation might be perfect for you to get to the destination of promise of God. For this you need wisdom and understanding from the Lord.
Joseph's faith was tremendous on the Lord. Because when he became ruler over Egypt, His brothers spoke among themselves saying "Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him" and were afraid to ask Joseph for forgiveness.
Joseph replied unto them saying "am I in the place of God to judge you, but as for you thought evil against me, but God meant it until Good, to bring to pass" (Genesis 50:19-20). Great faith lets you forgive and Joseph knows that God won't allow any evil to happen unto HIS people.
In the same way when we pray about the situation by trusting the Lord the situation will make a way for greater glory – Every time. It's time to pray unto God "What Glory you are going to bring out of this hopeless situation Lord God Almighty Jesus" That shifts your faith level in to a higher level and faith pleases God(Hebrews 11:6). And You shall be exalted among all.
That's why The Holy Spirit always says "Do not go back when you are in a hopeless situation, trust in the LORD so that HE will bring out greater Glory through you"
So then your life shall be shifted in to a greater position like Joseph, where you don't even think of it. God shall fill you up with HIS Riches, Honour, Peace and Glory, and you shall be called as a great and blessed Man of Jesus.
Amen
There are two types of believers, Wisdom less people run away from the hopeless situation saying "we trust in God", But a wise man always choose the Lord's way and inquires HIM.
