Sacrifice from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo. When Jesus came walking past the disciples in their fishing boat late one night, Peter called out to Him and asked if he could join Him and walk on the water. (Matthew 14:28–31 NKJV) And Peter answered Him and said, "Lord, if ... -
Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on." A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.

Slow Train Coming

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they quickly brought him out of the pit. And when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came in before Pharaoh. Genesis 41:14 ESV
Joseph had been in prison for over two years, and had been sold as a slave by his brothers years before that. Now he was standing before the pharaoh of Egypt and being given his signet ring. Suddenly, he was the second-in-command of the most powerful nation on earth. Prison in the morning, Ruler of Egypt in the evening. His dream had seemed to take forever, but it had now arrived.
This day was part of God's plan for Joseph and had taken between thirteen to twenty years to come to pass. It was intricate in detail and there were many layers and characters involved in making this happen. Israel was saved during an intense famine. Joseph learned management skills. He was humbled and became a broken man that God could use. There was over a decade of Joseph feeling forgotten, but suddenly his dream came to pass.
God's plans are intricate, deep, and all the pieces have to line up. This can take time, but suddenly it will happen, and it will happen. Keep on doing what you are supposed to do. Don't neglect your part of the plan and be sure to work with Him. God's plan for you may take time, but it will arrive right on schedule.

I really need this.. feels like my train went the wrong way then got derailed!
Thanks for this message, Brother! I'Ve heard it said that when one encounters adversity, it is a good sign that he, or she, is doing something right. After all, opposition is affected to prevent us from completing our work for The Lord. "Slow Train Coming" really captured my attention this morning, for another reason. In addition to aptly describing how our spiritual progress, and growth sometimes seems to be, as a "Slow Train Coming" as well as the ongoing progress of our individual calling and work: as a young man, many years ago, I purchased Bob Dylan's first album released, after his conversion, which was titled, "Slow Train Coming". How many were the days, evenings, and hours, spent listening to that recording! I have spent a lot of "blood, sweat. and tears" in the years since on my way to spiritual maturity, but thank The Lord, by his blessing, and mercy, I am still standing for Him. Thanks again, Brother Dion. Have a wonderful day!
Amen, Teddy, I know you have been through it, but it is always worth it in the end <3
