Today I was reading in Genesis about the life of Joseph. The word that comes to me out of this is Sovereignty. It is a big word, but it is a biblical concept that touches our life every day. God is sovereign. That means nothing takes Him by surprise. Every experience in life, from the most pleasant to the most painful, has been allowed by God for a very special purpose. Joseph learned this important truth although it took years of mistreatment to drive the point home. We also must learn the same. We have a problem accepting the part that is painful. It could be physical, emotional, or relational but we must hang on to the promise that God has a special purpose for everything he allows and He has a blessing for each of us to follow.
