Genesis 42:1 -9 NIV
God is so merciful not to show us the full purpose before time. In the case of Joseph, if God had shown him the full picture when he was 19, imagine what would have happened.ย
First - the bragging! The pride! ๐. He was already bragging when he just knew the tiny part of his brothers bowing to him. So imagine! how high his โshoulder padโ will have been. But the one key trait Joseph needed for the governor position was H-U-M-I-L-I-T-Y
Secondly - he wasnโt mature enough to be discreet about it. Revealing such information to his brothers would have been more catastrophic!ย
Thirdly - lets not forget the weight of the vision on someone who has not been equipped for it. It will have been too much.ย
Joseph could have destroyed the vision for his life by just knowing it when he was not equipped to handle it. Instead, God lovingly withheld some of the pieces until he was more mature to handle them after making several mistakes when the initial dream was revealed.
God loves us. Many of us are like Joseph - more like most of us ๐. God, in His loving mercy, is unfolding bits of the puzzle so we donโt destroy ourselves or the vision. Let us be patient. God has the best plan for us that will blow our minds away.ย

๐ ๐ค๐ก๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ ๐จ is a short clip intended to grow and equip us in our trust walk with God. The current focus is on our personal processes with God, where we learn to trust and submit to His will. We are all on a process with God - no one is an expert on it, so it is important that we lean in and learn from the Holy Spirit. So I am grateful that every episode is inspired by the Holy Spirit. I am so grateful to be used as a vessel for this purpose. I encourage you to learn with me. Please subscribe to get alerts about new episodes and follow us on social media.
