Day in the Sun (How to cling on to the promises of God when you feel like settling)

When we’re trying to realize a God-given goal in our lives, we inevitably face resistance in the process of what we believe is God’s dream for us. Indeed, it’s difficult to cling on the promises of God when we feel like we’re suffering in vain. But when we look at the story of Joseph and his dream of becoming ruler of Egypt, we learn the journey isn’t only about the final outcome of realizing our dreams but how the journey shapes who we become through suffering and pain. If we care more about the sense of satisfaction at the end of a long journey towards our goals, then our goals tend to be more about ourselves. But the true value of the journey is how God can shape us to become deeper people who care more about the greater good of others.
