we're the project

Psalm 105:16 He called for a famine on the land of Canaan,
  cutting off its food supply.


17 Then He sent someone to Egypt ahead of them—
  Joseph, who was sold as a slave.

18 They bruised his feet with fetters
  and placed his neck in an iron collar.

19 Until the time came to fulfill His word,
  the LORD tested Joseph's character.

20 Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free;
  the ruler of the nation opened his prison door.

21 Joseph was put in charge of all the king's household;
  he became ruler over all the king's possessions.

22 He could instruct the king's aides as he pleased
  and teach the king's advisers.


iow folks, we're the project.

God knew what kind of man Joseph needed to be when his time came to embrace the destiny God had for him - becoming the Egyptian leader, second only to Pharoah, during the 7 yrs of plenty & the 7 yrs of famine.

God knows what kind of person we need to be for each of the seasons of our lives. And He attempts to prepare us for those seasons.

iow folks, we're the project.

We're always being challenged, stretched, refined, pruned, disciplined, & all those plentiful tools God uses on us to mold us into what we need to be.

And ain't it fun?

Yeah, right.

We're on a journey with God. All along the way, He's slowly trying to turn us back into Himself. We're always in the middle of some sort of growth experience.

That's right - we're the project.

Will someone remind me of this occasionally?
