WHEN GOD’S HAND IS UPON YOUR LIFE (5)
TIMES OF REFRESHING DAILY DEVOTIONAL www.thefountspring.org
DATE: THURSDAY, 8 AUGUST 2024
So, Joseph’s story encourages us to trust in God’s hand upon our lives, even when circumstances seem bleak. It assures us that divine favor can open doors and create opportunities beyond our imagination. However, there are few lessons from Joseph’s life. Number one is “Faithfulness in Adversity.” Despite Joseph’s circumstances, He remained faithful to God, demonstrating that divine favor often accompanies steadfast faith. Number two is “Integrity and Character.” Joseph’s unwavering integrity, even when faced with false accusations, underscores the importance of maintaining godly character.
SCRIPTURE: “For those who find me find life and receive favor from the Lord.” — Proverbs 8:35 (NIV)
REFRESHING FOR THE DAY: The number three lesson is “Trusting in God’s Timing.” Joseph’s journey from slavery to leadership took many years, reminding us to trust in God’s timing and process. And the last but not the least is “Forgiveness and Reconciliation.” Joseph’s ability to forgive his brothers and see God’s plan in his suffering teaches us about the power of forgiveness and the broader perspective of God’s purposes. Stay Refreshed!
NOTE THIS: When God’s hand is upon a man, he is safeguarded from harm, and no weapon formed against him shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
RESPONSIBILITY: So, beloved, by reflecting on Joseph’s life, we gain a deeper understanding of how God’s hand of favor and blessing can transform our lives, leading us into the fulfillment of His divine purposes.
PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your divine favor and blessing upon my life. Help me to remain faithful, maintain integrity, and trust in Your timing as Joseph did. Open doors of opportunity and align my life with Your purposes. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
PROPHETIC WORD: May God’s hand guide and elevate you, turning your challenges into blessings. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
BIBLE TEXTS: Romans 8:35, Isaiah 54:17
