In life some may walk while others may run but remember the Lord gave the tortoise and the horse the same days to reach Noah's ark.
Your journey might be rough and tough but you will definitely get to your destination. Jacob looked at Joseph and saw a good son! The ten brothers looked at Joseph and saw a useless dreamer! The travellers looked at Joseph and saw a slave!! Potiphar looked at Joseph and saw a fine servant!! Potiphar's wife looked at Joseph and saw a potential boyfriend!
The prison officers saw in Joseph a prisoner! How wrong were all of them! God looked at Joseph and saw a Prime Minister of Egypt in waiting!! Don't be discouraged by what people see in you!! Be encouraged by what God sees in you!! Never underrate the person next to you because you never know what the Lord has deposited in that person.
Your maid may be a Chief Executive Officer in waiting for a company which shall employ your child. Your garden-boy may be a president in waiting. (Remember David got the anointing of becoming a King while he was a simple child herding sheep. Esther was a simple orphaned girl yet she was a Queen in waiting). Let's share God's love and make the world a better place to live.
God is God,He doesn't care about "Age" (no wonder he blessed Abraham). He doesn't care about "Experience" (no wonder he chose David). He doesn't care about "Gender" (no wonder he lifted Esther). He doesn't care about "Your Past" (no wonder he called Paul).
He doesn't care about "Your Physical Appearance" (no wonder he chose Zacchaeus
(the shortest one). He doesn't care about "Fluency In Speech" (no wonder he chose Moses). He doesn't care about "Your Career" (no wonder he choose Mary Magdalene) a prostitute.
All I know is that my God never changes,He never made a promise he wouldn't keep. He never saw a person he wouldn't help. He never heard a prayer he wouldn't answer. He never found a soul he wouldn't love. He never found a sinner he wouldn't forgive.
This is the kind of God I would like to commune with every day the moment I wake up. I strongly recommend Him to you.
This is truly expectional..... the life of Joseph has taught us some many lessons.
Upvoted and resteem
Your introduction got my heart.
It was actually so. But this also shows the hard work Noah and his family must have done. The cooperation of his sons; Shem, Ham & Japheth too.The life of Joseph on the other hand, is one that is also filled with lessons for us to benefit from.
I like your illustrations of Joseph. Truly, in life matters how God sees you and what he has in stock for you.
Joseph’s story reveals that even though we cannot control circumstances, we can control how we respond to those circumstances.
You are absolutely right @bniode . What really matters is how God in heaven sees us. We may be seen as others as nobodys and our different hustles and struggles in life may be looked down on by the general populace but the almighty God sees the end from the beginning and would bring us to an expected end. Thanks for sharing this.
Wounderful post.....its truly a wise word every steemians should read not only members of the steemchurch am truly amazed.....
Good to see you back, writing again with the steemchurch tag........Upvoted and resteem
You are totally right @bniode . What truly matters is the means by which God in paradise sees us. We might be viewed as others as nobodys and our diverse hustles and battles in life might be looked down on by the general people yet the god-like God sees the end from the earliest starting point and would convey us to a normal end. A debt of gratitude is in order for sharing this.
Most circumstances I tell individuals never come close yourself with others, on the grounds that by doing this you are attempting to state you can't perform superior to anything that individual thus you are constraining your prosperity and accomplishments to the little that kindred can accomplish. I encourage every one of us to move far from that shadow, remain without anyone else and have confidence in yourself .You will be amazed about the things you will have the capacity to accomplish.
This post depicts that we should always be steadfast in our believe and understand that even the wisest man "solomon" made us understand that time and chance happens to everything on earth. Delay can never be denial only in God's name
Hmmm nice write up and lesson from the story of joseph,joseph from the bible is full of inspiring stories and a role model ,this perspective with which people are always looked at really matters and the church should adopt the spiritual eyes to be able to see clearly what ought to be seen so they wont be seing mirage,and also the way God does his own things is extremely amazing ,ge doeant look at age or height or experience he looks directly to the heart same thing wwas done to david but God saw a leader and a ruler in him hwile his family saw a shephered and a kid. Thank to you @ bniode the church really needs this advice to be able to complete the selection of the apostles
Great work I really appreciate your write up so inspiring and motivating @bniode
God always has good things for us. All we have to do is to be patient and trust him. Nice post. Thumbs up.
Great post bro :)
Hope you also see my blog @usahil
Your words are motivating @bniode...... God changes for no one and His time is the best appointed time. Like they say, "no one knows tomorrow".
More grace I pray. https://steemit.com/steemchurch/@temmytop/58ayuf-word-for-today
Excellent... One thing is what man looks for, another thing that God looks at. That's why God told Samuel, regarding David, "I do not look at what man sees ..." 1 Samuel 16: 7.
Most times i tell people never compare yourself with others, because by doing this you are trying to say you cannot perform better than that person and so you are limiting your success and achievements to the little that fellow can achieve. I urge us all to move away from that shadow, stand on your own and believe in yourself .You will be surprised about the things you will be able to achieve.
How great and merciful is our God. Thank you because He does not see what we are now, He sees what He has said we are going to be, thanks to His help. God bless you
Hi @bniode
I am highly motivated by your post here.
I love this so much;
One thing i understand about God is that, the more we know Him, the more He prove himself to us. And also the more understanding we have about Him the better it turns out to be for us. God's way is never our own way. He is always committed in given His children the best.
Thanks for sharing this.
