hold on to the promise

Many times in the bible you can find where many different people were promised by God many different things. I believe that one of the most known would be Joesph.
You know the guy with the coat of many colors that his brothers sold him into slavery and they told his father that he was killed.
Then through time he was awarded by being one of the kings right hand men. But as you all know he was tempted by the kings wife and she claimed that Joesph raped her.
Didn't go over too well with the king as you can imagine. So Joesph was thrown into prison but even in prision God still used Joesph because he was willing. Although he didn't have the most ideal circumstance's at the time he was n't willing to put is situation in the way of his anointing.
He knew that God had something special for him. Something that was far greater than being in prison bound and captive. He had a promise. And he didn't lose sight of that promise even when falsely accused. I believe that Joesph knew that even in the wilderness time when it seemed like no one was around and no one cared that there was something in the work.
There was something greater than him happening in the spiritual world. As we all know Joesph finally was released from prison because of his ability to understand dreams.
I wonder how much we could change our world if we could all grasp the concept that Joesph did. You know my situtation isn't really dieal right now. I was just raped, or my parents divorced, or my wife just left me, or I lost my best friend or parent. No matter the circumstance we have to udnerstand that there is something bigger than us that is in the work. Because of that death you might be able to save your entire family. Or because you were raped you might be able to reach a special group of young women that no one else can reach nor understand their pain and hurt and shame.
We all have our promises. We all have our own dreams. I am just asking you today do not give up on your promise just because you situation isn't ideal right now. Hold on to your promise. You will come out of the fire gold. God never meant for any of us to fall. That's not his will or wish. Hold on.
