Faithfully Yours

Do you ever ask yourself the question, "How can we still be faithful when we don't see how God is working and we don't know what his plan is"? What if we feel like our prayers are unanswered?

Sometimes we ask God something and we just want such a definite answer. Yet, we still don't get one...

I want to share the story of Joseph with you. Joseph was betrayed by his brothers and sold to slavery. Later on, as a slave, Joseph was falsely accused by his master's wife causing him to be imprisoned for years. Facing all this adversity, you can imagine what Joseph would feel - perhaps anger, loneliness, doubt, and the list could go on. In these times, Joseph could have blamed God for all these events, but he did not. Instead, he continued to faithfully serve God, faithfully love God, and faithfully honour God DESPITE his circumstances.

I learned that I should not just read the Bible, but rather take it as my own story. God is faithful, and like how he never left Joseph, he will never leave me or you. Now, let's strive to be faithful to God - we want to be faithfully yours.
