LIFE OUT OF (MY) CONTROL
Genesis 39:19-20
"So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, 'Your servant did to me after this manner,' that his anger was aroused. Then Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, a place where the king's prisoners were confined. And he was there in prison."
Deja Vu. Joseph is once again in a place he did not choose nor want to be. First the pit – now the prison! Often it seems that life is beyond my control. Instead, it is determined by someone else's emotions or desire, whether I deserve it or not. I am thrust into situations I don't like and which I don't want. Life is not always fair. But I have to trust that God's purposes are being fulfilled. My job is to keep a good spirit.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: When life puts me in bad situations, I have to trust God.
[end]
Have a trusting day. Love you.
