Faith…

Have you ever had that moment when you are seriously questioning what God’s plan for you in all of this is? Or if God was even there, things just seemed that strange. That was Jo. Jo had just been thrown into jail. Which is completely understandable if you had done something wrong… but Jo had done the right thing, he had literally run away from doing the wrong thing and had been thrown into jail because an important person was mad that he wouldn’t do the wrong thing.

Jo’s life seemed to be a mess, not only had he been thrown into a pit, by none other than his jealous brothers, they had then sold him into slavery. So Jo was now a slave. But he stuck by his morals, he did the right thing the whole time, and his boss put him in charge of everything he owned, because he trusted him that much. That was, until this person who shall remain unnamed tried to convince him to do the wrong thing. But he did the right thing, over and over again. And now, here he is, sitting in a jail cell, wondering why this was happening to him. Wondering why God would do this to him. And wondering what the point was.

Jo continued to work hard and do the right thing, despite frustration, and confusion as to why all of this had happened to him.

But what Jo didn’t know, was that God had a bigger plan for his life, but it would take time. You see while Jo was in jail, he would go on to interpret two men’s dreams who worked for the king, and one of them told him that he wouldn’t forget him.

But he did, for over two years, while Jo was still in jail. Wondering, waiting, questioning why this was happening.

And then the king had a dream, and at this point the guy who worked for the king finally remembered Jo, and told the king about him. Not only did Jo continue to put God first, even in his interactions with the king, but he also was put in charge, and went on to save the whole country from famine.

Finally, Jo got it, he understood why he had to go through everything else to get to this point.

Luckily, even when we don’t see the plan, God has the ultimate plan for us, a plan that is better than anything we could imagine…

Can we trust in God, even when we don’t understand?

I think Jo would say yes. Besides, God did create everything, knows everything, and in addition to all of that, He loves you. So I would say that we can trust that He knows best, even when we don’t understand.
