Day 16

Joseph gives God full credit for ending up in Egypt and for his position as second only to Pharaoh.  He recognizes that it was the hand of God in his life all this time.  When Joseph’s brothers sold him into slavery, or when he was falsely accused and jailed by Potiphar, or when he was forgotten by Pharaoh’s cupbearer for two years, he knew that God’s hand was guiding his life.  
Like Joseph, are you able to give God the glory for what he has done in your life?  Joseph’s life was far from easy.  There were good times and bad, but in it all, Joseph recognized that God was in control.  Are you in a difficult stage of life?  Do not despair, for God is in control.  Is life seemingly perfect for you right now?  Great, but don’t be proud, for all you have is from God.  So, no matter what stage of life you are in, you ought to give glory to God as Joseph did.
