A Coat Of Many Colors.

“So when Joseph arrived, his brothers ripped off the beautiful robe he was wearing.” Genesis‬ ‭37:23‬ 

‭The story of Joseph explains that his father gave him a coat of many colors, but his brothers were jealous that Joseph seemed to be their father's favorite. They decided they would sell Joesph put blood on his coat of many colors and tell their father he was killed. Later in the story, Joesph ends up being second in command, and they come to him for food, and he forgives them. I thought about this story in a new way today, sometimes when we are blessed others get jealous, thinking of us as God's favorite, in reality, God has no favorites. When you're being blessed others will often steal your coat of many colors, but have no fear because God will put you in second in command! God has got this, and there is no reason to worry about what others say because when God calls someone He doesn't ask for anyone else's opinion of you. Today, if you feel like everyone is trying to steal your blessing out of jealously then know that at the right time, God is going to take you and your life to the next level, God doesn't leave you out just because someone doesn't like that you're being blessed. Just like at the ending of the story the Bible says what the enemy meant for evil, God will turn it for good! Here are some verses to reflect on today. “Then the brothers killed a young goat and dipped Joseph’s robe in its blood.”Genesis‬ ‭37:31‬ ‭ “Then Joseph added, “Look! You can see for yourselves, and so can my brother Benjamin, that I really am Joseph!” Genesis‬ ‭45:12‬ ‭ “You intended to harm me, but God intended it all for good. He brought me to this position so I could save the lives of many people.” Genesis‬ ‭50:20‬ ‭ “No, don’t be afraid. I will continue to take care of you and your children.” So he reassured them by speaking kindly to them.” Genesis‬ ‭50:21‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
