Why?

A little bit further in the book of Genesis we come upon the story of Joseph. Wow what a life he had!!! Because he was one of his fathers youngest sons his father payed more attention to him. . Even at this young age Joseph started having dreams that even his father didnt think were true because it meant that he would bow down to him. Of course you know his brothers got jelous because of the dreams and plotted to kill him but God would not allow it.

 God watched over Joseph even when he was sold into slavery, put in jail becuase of lies from a woman that could have him for herself.  With all of this, God blessed him with interpeting pharoh's dreams. With this he rose to second in power in pharoh's land. So look back, one of the youngest in a household and well liked, sold to slavery because of his brothers, rose to be over Potiphar's house, his wife lied so Joseph got put in jail, kept doing God's will by interperting dreams and Pharoh brought him out of jail to be second in his house!!

 What a rollercoaster ride!!!! Over all of this time Joseph never stopped doing God's will or stopped following his laws. Even when was a slave or in jail God always blessed him and the people around him knew it.

So this bears the question, are you one of the people that would cry out and ask why to God when something bad happens or do you have the faith to know that he has a plan for what has happened. You know no matter what happens in our lives it is our human nature to ask why. We won't always see the end result of why something happened but the when the worst things happen, the best things come of it. I know that this is hard to believe but it does happen. Sometimes we all need a slap in the face to get back on the right track!!! Maybe it is something as simple and not getting our way in something that we want to do or as harsh as loosing a loved one.

So next time you are praying and somehting that you want doesnt happen or something bad happens just remember, God's time isnt nessacaeraly our time. Just think if it was, we would all win the lottery tomorrow, have a big house in the country and 0 bills!!! If it could only be that easy right. You can always go back to the old saying, if it doesnt kill us, it will make us stronger.
