Into a pit.

"And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his brethren, that they stript Joseph out of his coat, his coat of many colours that was on him; And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it" (Genesis 37:23, 24 KJV). Joseph had every right to put down his arms and fall away from God's will. He was rejected and disliked by his brothers, who sold him into slavery. Joseph could've easily given up on God the Father and his own life. Joseph was no different from Christ Jesus, who was also rejected by so many. "He came to his own, and His own received Him not". They stripped Joseph of his coat of many colors, which was given to him from his father. His brothers threw him into a pit with no water, a prison. The flesh cannot stand the spirit just as his brothers could not stand Joseph. One could remove the coat from another, their earthly possessions, but they cannot remove the anointing from that person. It is God given. The enemy is always trying to break our faith by trying to convince us that we are only prisoners and slaves and that no one loves us. We see Joseph thrown into a pit by the ones he loved. He was sold for twenty pieces of silver as a slave. We also see Jesus Christ sold for thirty pieces of silver and hung on a cross for the ones He loved. God gave Joseph the victory just as he did for all of us at Calvary. Do not let your issues pull you down into a pit to where you become enslaved by them. Just trust in the Lord Jesus Christ and everything He's done for us at Calvary. God bless you. Amen
