Slow Train Coming

Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh. Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it." Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace." Genesis 41:14-16 WEB.

Joseph had been in prison for over two years. He had been sold into slavery by his brothers years before that. Now he was standing before the pharaoh of Egypt and being given his signet ring. Suddenly, Joseph was second-in-command of the most powerful nation on earth. Prison in the morning, Ruler of Egypt in the evening. The dream God had given Joseph when he was young had seemed to take forever, but now it had arrived.

This day was part of God's plan for Joseph, and it had taken between thirteen to twenty years to come to pass. It was intricate in detail, and many layers and characters were 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. After over a decade of Joseph feeling forgotten, his dream suddenly 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.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that You stir me, wake me, give me a new fire. Please help me to live out Your perfect plan for my life. Move the things that need to be moved and open the doors that need to be opened. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Good word; we have to be careful when Father God is putting our pieces together, we don’t try and “help”’ Him and jump out of time in His plan for us.

77 notifications at the current time...there are those numbers in the Bible, right? 70 and 7.

Before I learn more about that again, I need to sign out and try to go back to sleep. I have decluttered the things I was seeing when I woke up.

Pastor's words: 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.

Pastor's Prayer: Heavenly Father, I pray that You stir me, wake me, give me a new fire. Please help me to live out Your perfect plan for my life. Move the things that need to be moved and open the doors that need to be opened. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

Dear LORD: I thank You that you have taught me how to go slow in my elderly and senior years so that I can enjoy life on earth while waiting to enjoy life in Heaven. I only enjoy life on earth because You are with me. Please help me, Jesus, by sending Your perfect plan for my life, and that perfect plan can only be received through You. Move the things and all the peple that need to be moved. In Jesus' name, Amen

My words: As I open the doors here, I need to pray when opening a door and pray while I am walking down the halls and outside to the East Patio and to the West Patio. There are offices all along these halls that are for the staff who work here so I need to pray for those working in those offices to help our stay here to be the best for our needs. I have purchased and received journals recently. I need to call them my prayer journals. I am glad I awakened early, 3:30 a.m. to be able to read and shaare and care with prayer. Have a Feel Good Friday and a restful Sabbath and a worship-filled, Bible-believing, spirit-filled Sunday all in the name of the Son.
