Preserve you.

"And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt" (Genesis 45:7, 8 KJV). Satan cannot stop what God has anointed for he has no authority over the anointing of God. As long as we believe, trust in, and rely on our Lord Jesus Christ, Satan can try with all of his strength to lead us astray and try to deceive us, but he can't grab a hold of us. When one trusts in Jesus Christ, they will not be moved. Joseph knew nothing else except our great God, and he wasn't about to let any circumstance change his mind. Slavery couldn't make him into a slave. He knew he was a child of God, nothing less and nothing more. He knew he was a child of the Most High. Joseph was wrongly accused and put in prison, but that didn't stop him from running to the Rock of Christ, which remains steadfast and immovable. The more we trust in Christ Jesus and the longer we remain in intimacy with Him, nothing of this world can move us. Maturity and growth comes in time, but it all begins with an experience. We have to start somewhere. When we truly decide to follow Christ as our Lord and Savior, development begins. He will train us in ways we would never have imagined, and sometimes it will hurt quite a bit. Joseph was rejected, sold as a slave, and put in prison for something he did not even do, but God was preparing this man's heart for greater things come. Growth comes with pain, and through that growth there will be many rejections, disappointments, heart aches, and a lot of preparation. Keep your eyes straight on Jesus Christ. You'll be just fine. God bless you. Amen
