Joseph lost everything--betrayed by his family, jailed unjustly. Response--remained faithful (even though his faithfulness was the reason he ended up in a prison). Result--God's blessing for him, his family (yes, even those who betrayed him), the world.
Ruth--lost everything--husband, financial security. Encouraged by her mother-in-law to go away and go back to her own people and gods. Heard her mother-in-law blame God for her own poor choices--bitterly. Response--pursued God, remained faithful to her mother-in-law. Result--God's blessing on her, her mother-in-law, the world, you.
Daniel--lost everything--home, country. Placed in a society that was doing everything in could to conform him to their image. Response--remained faithful. Result--God's blessing
Your circumstances are designed by God to be a pathway to blessing for
you and for who knows how many other people in need of His grace. Just
one thing is required--remain faithful. And you only need to do that one
day--today. And He promises you the strength to so live if you'll
embrace His presence in your life. Circumstances? What will your
response be?
