You will Arrive

Have you ever had to take a detour while driving somewhere? My guess is you eventually arrived at your destination.

Joseph arrived. His dream became a reality for the sole purpose of serving other people, including the ones who disappointed and hurt him.

Even though he was criticized by his father and brothers for sharing his dream, sold into slavery, and left to languish in prison for being a person of character, there is no record in scripture of him complaining, blaming other people, speaking unkindly about them, or questioning God.

Instead, he saw his experience as an investment into the plan of God for his life and other people. More than once, he tells his brothers not to be afraid or get down on themselves because they sold him into slavery. He pointed out to them that God was the one who sent him to Egypt, so lives would be saved.

The journey to destiny and fulfilling purpose is hardly ever a straight road, but with God, rest assured that you will arrive. If God is for you, who or what can stand against you?

Yes, a detour can cause us to feel anxiety and wonder if we will ever run our race well and arrive, but the Lord is your helper. Never forget He is by your side, walking with you every step you need to take. Lay aside the hurt, disappointments, and distractions, and run the race you are on with your eyes focused on Jesus, the one who causes you to be victorious.

What the setback meant for evil, God has worked it out for your good. You will arrive because you are God's masterpiece on a mission to make a difference!
