Psalm 105:16-21. Remember the marvels God has done…God called down a famine on the land…and sent a man ahead of them, Joseph, sold as a slave…They had weighed him down with fetters, and he was bound with chains, till the prediction came to pass and the word of God proved him true. The king sent and released him, the ruler of the peoples set him free.
| In difficult times,
it is important for us all to “Remember the marvels God has done.” Not unlike the
famine Egypt experienced during Joseph’s time, God uses unfavorable circumstances
as a vehicle to strengthen our discipline and perseverance. If we approach tough
situations as an opportunity to test our resolve, we can follow Joseph’s example
and convert hardships into prosperity. Individuals that can truly be marveled at
are those that have the ability to turn negatives into positives. God gives us
all occasions to do the same in our lives. - Quinn Mullikin, Advisor, School of Nursing |
