Genesis 41:41-52 and Psalm 106:32-3 (NIV)
(Jorge Lau from Small Group Ministry)
READ:
Genesis 41:41-52 and Psalm 106:32-3 with special attention to:
“God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Genesis 41:52
“Because they were rebellious against His Spirit, He spoke rashly with his lips.”
Psalm 106:33
OBSERVE:
God is in control from beginning to end, over all things. Whatever suffering and wrong has happened, it is because God has allowed it. The life of Joseph is a good example. Through faithfulness and obedience to God, Joseph was brought from the pit to the pinnacle, to the highest position in Egypt, just below Pharaoh. God instructed Moses to speak to the rock, but Moses struck it instead. The water still came, yet God remembered and disciplined him.
APPLY:
Today’s observation reminds me to see past my current circumstances and to press through any adversity set against me. I must follow His commands and trust how things unfold, for He knows the purpose even when I cannot see it now. As a child of God, I must continue to steward my real estate business with professionalism in the marketplace, helping both believers and non-believers with His love and grace. This is my second calling which God led me into over 20 years ago, after working 15 years in IT. Though I face difficult customers, complex housing and financing cases, and even times when payment is withheld after the job is done, I stand armed with the armour of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). I hold fast to the promise that justice will prevail, just as God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction (Genesis 41:52).
DO:
I will ask God:
• For His sovereign protection
• To grant me perseverance to endure any adversity set against me
• To make me teachable in learning His Word and applying His teachings
• To remain obedient and faithful in all circumstances
PRAY:
Heavenly Father, I give thanks that You have protected and shielded me from challenges, both personal and at work, throughout the years as I follow You. Forgive those who have wronged me, and let Your forgiveness lead them to know You and to make things right. I ask that You continue to teach me, mold me, and make me fruitful in the land of my affliction as I obey Your ways, for I know there is no other way.
