The Church Building Dedication Commemoration Service falls on today. Let us learn from the walk of Joseph who had consecutively experienced hardships.
Firstly, God sees over everything beyond times. Joseph had a strange dream, in which his brothers bowed down to him. He could not probably understand what it meant, but God was knowing while seeing over everything. Such God Himself walks with us.
Secondly, God has His own time and plan. Joseph had a chance to get out of the prison, but he was forced to stay there for two more years because the chief cupbearer forgot about him. But it turned out to be the time of God, and afterwards, Joseph came to interpret Pharaoh’s dreams. Let us be reminded that the time and the plan of God does exist.
Thirdly, God leads us in the best way. From a human perspective, Joseph’s experiences seemed to have had the worst consequences, but in effect, he and his family turned out to be fed even in a famine. We need to believe that God leads us to the best beyond our thoughts.
Let us not adhere to our own time and plan. Instead, let us walk faithfully, trusting God Almighty and committing ourselves to Him!

<The Verse of the Bible>
So it was not you who sent me here, but God. He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt.
