TEXT PSALM 34:14
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
TOPIC : RETIRE FROM USING YOUR MOUTH FOR TERROR ATTACKS
Beloved, we are to follow the example of Joseph.
Joseph knew his brothers sold him into Egypt. He was old enough so he knew who sold him, but he never mentioned their names.
He knew that his master's wife told lies about him. He knew that his master Portiphar imprisoned him unjustly but he never mentioned their names.
This is called truth, he trusted that God will vindicate him.
He didn't go about crying, "where is my God, God my enemies are asking me where are you".
Beloved, these tirades are demonstrations of heavy doubt in the ability of your God to deliver you.
But this is how he reported it to the butler. For indeed I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews: and here also have I done nothing that they should put me into the dungeon - Genesis 40:15.
He never mentioned the names of all his offenders. He still loved them and never kept the record of their wrongs. Love is .... not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs - 1 Corinthians 13:5, NIV.
Trust God to work out good from the evil others do against you.
Look at how Joseph saw the hostility and the betrayal ochestrated by hiis brothers even though he was not fortunate to read the new testament.
But as for you, you thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive - Genesis 50:20.
The scripture confirms the positive stance of Joseph in these words. And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose - Romans 8:28.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not
bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
