Genesis 37:6-10, 40:8 NIV
In this journey called life we are all on a process with God and it’s only God that can judge how far we have come as He knows the end from the beginning, and except God reveals, we honestly don’t know. We don’t know the joy, blessings, transformations or even storms that lie ahead. This is why it is so dangerous to compare our progress with others as we either fall short or feel we are far ahead. The never ending list the world use as a yardstick to compare - status, wealth, position, power, even race etc all fall short as they focus on the past and now, not the future.
Take a look at Joseph - he was a prisoner one day and the next the second in command to the king of Egypt, one of the most powerful kings in the world at that time. I was on Cairo last week and just listening to the history of the land made me amazed at how powerful the Pharaohs of Egypt were in those days.
Will those that knew Joseph or Potiphar’s ever think that is possible? They probably looked at Joseph and thought - I am definitely ahead of him, he is stagnant or even declining, little did they know what joys was just ahead of him - bigger than their wildest imagination.
Please spread the word and share with others.
