"Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt."
Genesis 39:4 (KJV)
"And Joseph found grace in his (Potiphars) sight, and he served him (Potiphar): and he (Potiphar) made him overseer over his (Potiphars) house, and all that he (Potiphar) had he (Potiphar) put into his hand."
Have you ever felt like "your world" was taking a severe blow? Maybe the death of a loved one, or a financial catastrophe, or maybe a serious illness you have to deal with?
Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers. Joseph eventually wound up being the number two person in Egypt! When a famine struck, Joseph was put in charge by Potiphar. Joseph was able to spare his family because he was enslaved in Egypt!
Recently on my Twitter feed, there was a post from Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892). "The cross must be carried before the crown can be worn. We must follow our LORD in HIS humiliation. or we shall never rest with HIM in glory."
Your "cross" may be born for a short time or long, but rest assured HIS GLORY is following!
