PIT, PALACE, PRISON, PRAISE!

SCRIPTURE:

Genesis 39: 20-21-Then Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, a place where the King's prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison. But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and He gave favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison. (NKJ)

MEDITATION:

There are often times when we think that things are getting better but they actually get worse. The life of Joseph is such a powerful story, because he had a dream that he would one day be ruler over many. Well you see, Joseph went from the pit to the palace to prison. But eventually after he had gone through test and trials he was ruler over Egypt, just as he had dreamed. We have to remember what God has revealed to us in the light still exist in the dark. The Bible tells us that God was with Joseph while he was in the pit, palace, and in the prison. Since God is never changing, that same God is with us in our "Pit Experience." God is molding and making virtuous men and women at this very hour, so right now your purpose for being in the pit has PROMISE. So when the going gets tough, the tough trust God. Just when you think everything is against you, that is when it is working for your good.

WHILE IN THE PIT PRAISE!

Pray for the victims who have lost family members to the fires in California, as well as the Astronauts that are in space. Continue to pray for our children and our school systems.
