The Long Way
Reflecting on the story of Joseph has brought tears to my eyes. (Genesis 37-50) I think about the life journey he took getting to his destiny and purpose. God gave him a vision of what was to come at an early age. Joseph made the mistake of sharing the vision with haters. But what he did not realize was that his mistake which caused his brothers to put him in the pit was part of the master plan to get him to the palace. Joseph's journey from the pit to Potiphar's place, to prison was preparing him for the palace. Without all of those experiences, Joseph would have lacked the wisdom and maturity to carry out his purpose. Whatever you are going through right now is preparing you to take your place at your palace (place of your purpose). I cried because I was grateful for all of the things God has brought me through in preparation for the palace (poyp). Don't complain, prepare for the palace.
