My daily devos...

One of my resolutions for the year of 2008 is to read through the Bible again and boy have I been reminded of so many things. I know I have heard the story of Joseph so many times, but never had I stopped to really think how horrible his brothers were to him; and yet, how well Joseph took it and how well God took care of Joseph. Many times when hard things happen to me, it is so much easier to just get angry or blame God for the situation. Joseph looked at the situation in his life through God's eyes and trusted Him through it all. All through Joseph's testing, he counted it joy and God greatly blessed Him for it. From this reading, I would really like to work on looking at every situation, whether good or not so good( in my eyes), as something from God or God is allowing for a purpose so I may become more like him and gain greater faith through it in the end.
