When the light of the Holy Spirit shines on our lifes it arranges all things as God wants it to be.
We may be in all kinds of situations but when the wind of the Holy Spirit is blown our way chaos turns into what God has purposed it for.
Joseph's walk to destiny can teach us lots and lots of Godly values. Ofcourse the life of Christ is the ultimate example for us to learn how to be pleasing to God.
Both of them were betrayed, left alone, lied about etc.But God was with them and many others through it all.
It seemed like they were completely at rest at every level of their walk to destiny.
When people left them because they said things they did not agree with, God was still there with them.
When they were mocked, abused lied about, God was still with them. He just never left their side.
But then why did He let them go through all the seemingly chaotic situations?
We may come up with many reasons, it's always easy to think of some explanation when were just standing at the sideline watching it all happen.
But only God knows why sometimes for destiny to be brought to fulfillment there needs to be chaos at first.
I'm sure at times Joseph must had all kinds of fantasies of how he would get revenge and so on and it must have brough pleasure to his soul. But his heart knew that that was not what Christ would want.
For God had already seen that his abusers had repented of their sins.
When Christ while hanging their from the cross He was on, looked at his abusers , He simply only imagined them to be forgiven by God the Father.
I'm sure we all have times when we wish God would punish people who may have abused us and He may do so but He may also grant them mercy and restore their lifes.
Now what would I like better; people being punished or restored to the image of Christ who is love.
I think I would like them to be restored to the image of Christ.
I think I should forgive people as God has forgiven me and leave judgment and everything else to the light of the Holy Spirit who when it shines on a situation will turn it around from a storm to a soft breeze, from chaos to destiny divine.
Blessings and love to all from the deepest part of my heart.
Life is indeed wonderful in spite it all when we have the love of Christ.
