Genesis 37-38, Matthew 12:22-45, Psalms 16:1-11, Proverbs 3:27-32
What God said to me – Joseph was a godly young man who sought Me and served Me. I spoke to him in dreams and he was faithful to share with his family even when their response was negative. Even Judah, whose line I eventually came through, was not receptive, but Joseph was faithful to share. Years later after all of his suffering and imprisonment, the prophecy of his dreams came true, and because he was faithful to share with them, his brothers finally came to know Me when they bowed before Jospeh and realized the truth he had shared was from Me. So, don’t be discouraged when those you pray for faithfully and share with about Me then respond in a negative way. “I AM” able to use your faithful testimony even years later and cause them to turn toward Me. Your obedience should not be dependent on others’ response, but on My direction to you. My timing is always perfect, and you have no idea how “I AM” working in their lives to break up their hard hearts and to bring them to a place where they are ready to repent and respond. When you get discouraged look at Joseph and take heart. “I AM” at work in the lives of My people and My timing is always perfect.
