While God kept Joseph inside those prison walls for a couple dark years, he had no iota of what was to come. All he knew was that God existed and was still interested in what was going on. While he waited for the darkness to become clear, Joseph served. He waited, held onto faith, and always trusted the One who made Him. And finally, after years of silent waiting, surrendering, and trusting, God made the way clear and used Joseph to rescue his entire family during famine.
Most of us are not in prison. Most of us are not in physical slavery. But perhaps we are in the middle of a health crisis, a personal battle no one knows about, facing financial difficulty, trying to solve family disagreements, or carrying the burden of a lost soul.
The darkness stretches long. The end is not in sight. The temptation to give in to discouragement is strong. But there is always a choice to hold onto faith and there is always the truth to be claimed. What God allows, He redeems, and what He redeems becomes a testimony. Take courage, my friend. Take heart. The Lord is not slack concerning His promises. 💞
