Uncertainty

I was sitting and thinking about what is going on in my life right now. I had to quit my job of 3 1/2 years to focus on school, my car broke down (again) and I have no answers on what to do. Currently I am at a loss as to what and when for anything involving money and vehicles. While trying to find parts to fix my computer I logged into my blogs and saw this one. The thought occurred to me: How is this like Joseph?

Joseph lived as the favorite son in his father's large family until he was 17 years old. Suddenly adulthood was thrust upon him by the actions of his wicked brothers. For the next 13 years his life was full of uncertainty. He climbed the ladder of success in Potiphar's house only to be thrown down further than where he started. Again in the prison he worked his way up in the hearts of his captors and inmates, but when his seemingly lucky break came with the butler's dream he was left to himself for two more years without even a postcard.

That man was a model of truth and light. While waiting for his deliverance he worked and prayed and did his best to be an example of his faith. Never do we hear him complain or belittle his circumstances. He simply continues plugging along with a resolve most men today only dream of.

Truly we need to remember that one being is in charge of it all. He lives and loves us and will bless us according to our faith and diligence. Uncertainty is just part of our process of learning.
