THIS, from Jospeh Prince's "Grace Inspirations" devotional is POWERFUL!
GOD IS IN IT WITH YOU
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for
good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His
purpose.
Do you feel misunderstood and forsaken by the people you
love? Have you been falsely accused and stripped of everything, without a dime
to your name? Maybe today, you feel that you have hit rock bottom and you
wonder if you can ever rise again.
Joseph, who was sold by his brothers into slavery (see
Genesis 37:28), went through all these experiences and emotions. Still, he was
conscious that God was in it with him every step of the way. Though his life
was a “mess,” he believed that it was not an accident. Though the things that
were happening to him were not good, he believed that God was making all things
work together for his good. And it was indeed so—Joseph eventually rose to
occupy the most powerful position in Egypt, second only to Pharaoh (see Genesis
41:40).
Probably, this consciousness that God was in it with him was
the reason he forgave his brothers when he met them again later in his life.
Joseph told them, “But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry with
yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to
preserve life” (Genesis 45:5).
So like Joseph, whatever you are facing now, be conscious
that God is in it with you. Be Jesus-conscious. Though you may have nothing or
not much now in the natural, the truth is that you have everything when you
have Jesus!
The same Jesus who went around blessing others with 12
baskets full of leftovers, a net-breaking, boat-sinking load of fishes, and who
never impoverished anybody, will empower you to succeed in life. The same Jesus
who went about doing good will cause good to explode in your life. The same
Jesus who went about healing the sick and never giving anyone sickness will
keep you in divine health and protect you from harm.
Beloved because “Jesus Christ is the same
yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8), as He was with Joseph, He is
with you right now. And He will empower you to live the high life—the abundant
life in which you will see God’s promises manifest!
