"His Voice Today"
January 23
🔸️ God gives victory by "turning back the plot table towards Satan!" 🔸️
When Satan attacks God's people, many of them fail to see how He is turning the table towards 'opposing him!'
For example, meditate the events that occurred in Joseph's life! When Joseph turned 30 years old, God had a plan to make him the second prince of Egypt. Joseph was a man who feared the Lord and that's why Satan hated him very much!
Satan persuaded his older brothers to destroy Joseph at any circumstances! Potiphar's wife had falsely accused Joseph for not complying with her wishes and thus Satan sent him to prison!
According to God's timetable for Joseph, when Joseph was 30 years old in prison, Pharaoh had a dream.... "The cupbearer" recollected that "Joseph was the interpreter." This is how Joseph was brought before Pharaoh and became the second prince of Egypt! It is God's great pleasure to turn Satan's plot table against him, for all things work together for the good of those who love God; those who are called according to His purpose! (Romans 8:28).
Let us compare these events with the circumstances of our lives. How would our attitude be to the evil brothers who were trying to get rid of us because of “jealousy”? How would our attitude be to the wicked woman who falsely accused? How could our attitude have been for the result of unjust imprisonment? How would our attitude be for friends who promised to help us but forget that? Can we believe that God can use all of the things whether they have done it knowingly or accidentally.... to fulfill His purpose in our lives? If God had done so for Joseph, would he not be able to do the same for us? Surely He can! He will do it for us too!!
Prayer:
Dear heavenly Father! There is no one in this world who can prevent your purpose from being fulfilled in our lives! Thank you Lord Jesus for the victory, Amen!!
