I was listening to some Preaching and Teaching about Joseph a few days ago!!! Joseph has been on my mind and coming up frequently on different programs!
He is a type of Jesus, in the Scriptures!!! I keep thinking, what it is he must have felt to be thrown away by his Family and yet he never stopped looking to God and Believing in Him and no matter what was happening to him, he never failed to do the right thing. I'm not saying he was without fault or sin, we all have that, but he had something (GOD) working in his character or personality that would not let him fail the Lord in doing right! He recognized that God used what his Family intended for evil, to bring about something Good! Not only something Good, but something Wonderful!!! It was God literally using the evil that came upon him to shape him like a sculptor, to be a finished work, capable of handling the responsibility that the Lord was about to give him. He sat in Prison 13 years and yet he never lost hope! He never stopped Believing that God was his God and stood beside him no matter where he found himself. I know a lot of people don't want to believe that Gods hand is the cause of bad things that happen to us, but in His Wisdom He moves us to Egypt or Prison or wherever He chooses to set us apart for that finishing work that will bring us to Perfection and will perform His Will in our Lives and those around us! I am sure even though he (Joseph) kept Faith with the Lord and knew God's Faithfullness, I can't help thinking he spent many nights in slavery and seperated from the father that Loved him, and his Family, weeping for the things and people that were torn out of his Life and out of his Heart! I try to sit in the Prison with him trying to feel what he must have felt being punished, when he knew he did right and was keeping up the Standard for God. I realize that a day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as a day to the Lord! No matter how long that answer is in coming to Prayer, it is on it's way and is "ALWAYS" on time!!! We can take comfort in the story of Joseph, because through it we see God will "NEVER" leave us or forsake us and in due time will lift up our head again and will Bless and complete us as He will for His Glory and not ours!!! By Josephs Faithfullness, many souls were Saved through the Power that he exercised by remaining Faithful to the Lord even after his brothers sinned so terribly against him. Sometimes the Church can treat us like that, but the Lord would have us to remain Faithful no matter how Sisters and Brothers sometimes sin against us! Sometimes it can even be spouses or mothers and fathers that do us wrong, it might even be our own children, but we have to remain steadfast no matter the outward circumstances! |

Num 23:19
19 God is not a man, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do it? Or hath He Spoken, and shall He not make it good? Psalms 119:89-90 89 For ever, O LORD, Thy Word is Settled in Heaven. 90 Thy Faithfulness is unto All Generations: Thou hast Established the earth, and it Abideth. 1Thessalonians 5:23,24 23 And the very God of Peace Sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be Preserved Blameless unto the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful Is He that Calleth you, Who Also Will Do It. Phillipians 1:6 6 Being Confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a Good Work in you Will Perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ: |

Titus 1:9 (Amplified Bible)
9 He must hold fast to the Sure and Trustworthy Word of God as he was taught it, so that he may be able both to give stimulating Instruction and Encouragement in Sound (Wholesome) Doctrine and to refute and convict those who contradict and oppose it [showing the wayward their error]. Titus 1:9 (KING JAMES VERSION) 9 Holding fast the Faithful Word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by Sound Doctrine Both to Exhort and to Convince the gainsayers. Titus 3:8 (Amplified Bible) 8 This Message Is Most Trustworthy, and concerning these things I want you to Insist Steadfastly, so that those who have Believed In (Trusted In, Relied On) God may be Careful to Apply themselves to Honorable Occupations and to Doing Good, for such things are [not only] Excellent and Right [in themselves], but [they are] Good and Profitable for the people. Titus 3:8 (KING JAMES VERSION) This is a Faithful Saying, and these things I will that thou Affirm Constantly, that they which have Believed in God might be careful to maintain Good Works. These Things Are Good and Profitable unto men. |

REVELATION 22:6-21 (KING JAMES VERSION)
6 And he said unto me, These Sayings ARE Faithful And True: and the Lord God of The Holy Prophets sent His Angel to shew unto His servants the things which must shortly be done. 7 Behold, I Come Quickly: Blessed is he that Keepeth The Sayings of the Prophecy Of This Book. 8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the Prophets, and of them Which Keep The Sayings Of This Book: Worship God. 10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the Prophecy Of This Book: For The Time IS At Hand. 11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he That Is Righteous, let him Be Righteous Still: and he That Is Holy, let him Be Holy Still. 12 And, Behold, I Come Quickly; and My Reward Is With Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I Am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning And The End, The First And The Last. 14 Blessed Are They That DO His Commandments, that they may have Right to The Tree Of Life, And May Enter In Through The Gates Into The City. 15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 16 I Jesus have sent Mine Angel To Testify unto you these things in the churches. I Am The Root And The Offspring Of David, And The Bright And Morning Star. 17 And the Spirit and the Bride Say, Come. And let him that Heareth say, Come. And let him that is Athirst Come. And Whosoever Will, let him Take The Water Of Life Freely. 18 For I Testify unto every man that Heareth The Words of The Prophecy Of This Book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues That Are Written In This Book: 19 And if any man shall take away from The Words Of The Book Of This Prophecy, God shall take away his part out of The Book Of Life, and out of The Holy City, and From The Things Which Are Written In This Book. 20 He which Testifieth These Things saith, Surely I Come Quickly. Amen. Even So, Come, Lord Jesus. 21 The Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Be With You All. Amen. |

LAMENTATIONS 3 (KING JAMES VERSION)
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I Hope. 22 It is of the LORD's Mercies that we are not consumed, because His Compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: Great Is Thy Faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my Portion, saith my soul; therefore will I Hope in him. 25 The LORD is Good unto them that wait for Him, to the soul that seeketh Him. 26 It is Good that a man should both Hope and Quietly Wait for the Salvation of the LORD. |

Psalm 92 (Amplified Bible)
1 IT IS a Good and Delightful thing to give Thanks to the Lord, to Sing Praises [with musical accompaniment] to Your Name, O Most High, 2 To show forth Your Loving-Kindness in the morning and Your Faithfulness by night, 3 With an instrument of ten strings and with the lute, with a solemn sound upon the lyre. 4 For You, O Lord, have made me glad by Your Works; at the deeds of Your Hands I Joyfully sing. 5 How great are Your Doings, O Lord! Your Thoughts are very deep. 6 A man in his rude and uncultivated state knows not, neither does a [self-confident] fool understand this: 7 That though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to be destroyed forever. 8 But You, Lord, are On High Forever. 9 For behold, Your adversaries, O Lord, for behold, Your enemies shall perish; all the evildoers shall be scattered. 10 But my horn (Emblem of Excessive Strength and Stately Grace) You have Exalted like that of a wild ox; I am Anointed with fresh oil. 11 My eye looks upon those who lie in wait for me; my ears hear the evildoers that rise up against me. 12 The [Uncompromisingly] Righteous Shall Flourish like the palm tree [Be Long-Lived, Stately, Upright, Useful, and Fruitful]; they shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon [Majestic, Stable, Durable, and Incorruptible]. 13 Planted in the House of the Lord, they shall Flourish in the Courts of our God. 14 [Growing In Grace] they shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be full of sap [of Spiritual Vitality] and [Rich in the] Verdure [of Trust, Love, and Contentment]. 15 [They Are Living Memorials] to show that the Lord Is Upright and Faithful to His Promises; He Is my Rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. |

REVELATION 19(AMPLIFIED BIBLE)
5 Then from the throne there came a voice, saying, Praise our God, all you servants of His, you who reverence Him, both small and great! 6 After that I heard what sounded like the shout of a vast throng, like the boom of many pounding waves, and like the roar of terrific and mighty peals of thunder, exclaiming, Hallelujah (praise the Lord)! For now the Lord our God the Omnipotent (the All-Ruler) reigns! 7 Let us rejoice and shout for joy [ exulting and triumphant]! Let us celebrate and ascribe to Him glory and honor, for the marriage of the Lamb [at last] has come, and His bride has prepared herself. 8 She has been permitted to dress in fine (radiant) linen, dazzling and white--for the fine linen is (signifies, represents) the righteousness (the upright, just, and godly living, deeds, and conduct, and right standing with God) of the saints (God's holy people). 9 Then [the angel] said to me, Write this down: Blessed (happy, to be envied) are those who are summoned (invited, called) to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he said to me [further], These are the true words (the genuine and exact declarations) of God. |

Psalm 121 (King James Version)
1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. 2 My help cometh from The LORD, which made Heaven and earth. 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that Keepeth thee will not slumber. 4 Behold, He that Keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is thy keeper: The LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. 6 The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD shall Preserve thee from ALL evil: he shall Preserve thy soul. 8 The LORD shall Preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for Evermore. Psalm 121 (Amplified Bible) A Song of Ascents. 1 I WILL lift up my eyes to the hills [around Jerusalem, to Sacred Mount Zion and Mount Moriah]--From whence shall my help come. 2 My help comes from The Lord, Who made Heaven and earth. 3 He will not allow your foot to slip or to be moved; He Who Keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, He Who Keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The Lord Is your Keeper; The Lord Is your Shade on your right hand [the side not carrying a shield]. 6 The sun shall not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The Lord Will Keep you from ALL evil; He Will Keep your life. 8 The Lord Will Keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and Forevermore. |
