as Jessica a ho let's take aread of prayer. Lord,
-
he says, we thank you for today. We thank you
-
for another opportunity to hear your word re acts us.
-
You hope us to understand. And Jesus name amen, Yes,
-
can you take our confession? Joshua Chapter one, ver's eight,
-
Joshu one, that's eight. This book of the Law shall
-
not depart out of my mouth, but I shall meditate
-
in it day and night, that I may observe to
-
do according to all that is written in it. For
-
then I will make my reprosperous, and then I will
-
have good success. A man trusting God in the waiting.
-
Our first scripture, will you not be taken from gen
-
asisted seventh, verse five to eleven, and it says, one
-
night Joseph had a dream, and when he told his
-
brothers about it, they hated him more than ever. Listen
-
to this dream, he said, we were out in the
-
field tying up bundles of grain, Suddenly my bundle stood up,
-
and your bundles all gathered around and bowed go before mine.
-
His brothers responded, so you think you will.
-
Be our king? Do you do?
-
You actually think you'll reign over us?
-
And they hated.
-
Him all the more because of all his dreams and
-
the way he talked about them. Soon, Joseph had another dream,
-
and again he told his brothers about it. Listen, I
-
have had another dream, he said, The sun, moon, and
-
elevenstars bowed glow before me. This time he told the
-
dream to his father as well as his brothers, But
-
his father scolded him. What kind of dream is that?
-
He asked, Will your mother and I and your brothers
-
actually come and bow to the ground before you? But
-
while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father wondered
-
what the dreams meant.
-
In men our second scripture?
-
Will you not be taken from Genesis forty one Verstirty nine.
-
To forty three.
-
Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, since God has revealed the
-
meaning of the dreams to you, clearly, no one else
-
is as intelligent or as wise as you are. You
-
will be in charge of my coats, and all my
-
people will take others from me. Only I, sitting on
-
my tomb, will have a round higher than yours. Pharaoh
-
said to Joseph, I hear by put you in charge
-
of the entire land of Egypt. Then Pharaoh removed his
-
signet to ring from his hand and placed it on
-
Joseph's finger. He dressed him in fine link clothing and
-
hung a gold.
-
Chain around his neck.
-
Then he had Joseph right in the child with save
-
for his second in command, And wherever Joseph went, the
-
command was shouted. Kneel down to Pharaoh. Put Joseph in
-
charge of all of Egypt. In men, trusting God and
-
the waiting, there is a specific kind of weariness that
-
sets in when you are waiting on a promise from God.
-
It is a quiet ache of watching the days ten
-
onto mans, and the mans into years while nothing.
-
Seems to change you.
-
Pray you first, you hold onto the word spoken over
-
your life. Yet the silence from heaven feels incredibly heavy
-
in those long seasons. The enemy laughs to whispered a
-
devastating light into your ear.
-
God has forgotten you.
-
Joseph experienced along with as a young man, God gave
-
him dreams that one day he would be in the
-
position of prominence. Instead of immediately seeing those dreams fulfilled,
-
Joseph was betrayed by his brother, soaked into slavery, is
-
falsely accused and imprisoned for about thirteen years. His circumstances
-
appear on tracted God's promise, Yet God was working behind
-
the scenes in God's appointed time, Joseph was lifted from
-
prison to the palace and became governor of Egypt. Maybe
-
you are waiting for God to fulfill a word or
-
promise read over your life, but things aren't going exactly
-
how He's supposed to go. Maybe you are staying faithful
-
to remarriage that feels cold. You are praying for every
-
what child that seems to be drifting feather away. You
-
are holding onto a vision for your ministry or career,
-
but every door remains family shot. You are trusting God
-
for an academic opportunity or a good job, but it
-
feels that God is not working towards your promise and
-
everything seems slow. Do not mistake God's silence for his absence.
-
He is not being slow. He is being intentional. He's
-
working behind the scenes, preparing the ground and preparing you
-
for what is ahead. The obstacles in your path do
-
not mean the promise has expire. If the visioning gets today,
-
do not throw away your confidence.
-
Keep your eyes on God.
-
What he has written concerning your life will come to
-
pass exactly when it matters.
-
Most amen.
-
Our memory verse for today is taken from Hypacook two,
-
verse three. Though it's linger waits for it, it will
-
settling come and will not delay.
-
A man.
-
Let's take awad of prayer. Lord, she says, thank you
-
for your word that has come. We pray that you
-
will give us the grace and the strength to be
-
able to trust you and be able to wait on
-
you and believe that every word is spoken upon our
-
lives will come to pass in Jesus' mintaining a man.
