I realized that in terms of physical achievements, at a time, Joseph was the least among his brothers. Even Benjamin was far ahead of him. Benjamin already had 10 sons when they arrived Egypt, while Joseph just got married few years back with two sons. Joseph's brothers were all pursuing their petty dreams, while God was laying a solid foundation for a "skyscraper project" in Joseph's life. Then suddenly, ONE DAY... Hallelujah! Joseph became the prime minister of the ruling empire. Please allow God to lay a solid foundation in your life and wait for your ONE DAY. Don't envy others who quickly complete their "bungalow projects". God is building a "skyscraper project" in your life.
@Chidiotamiri Joseph faced so many trials and hardships. Thank you for sharing. So often things are not what they seem. Psalm 73 speaks of the seemingly easy life of the arrogant and wicked. Verse 13 asks, "Did I purify my heart and wash my hands in innocence for nothing?", but the Psalm ends with realizing that, "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.....But as for me, God's presence is my good. I have made the Lord God my refuge, so I can tell about all You do."
